About the Centre:

A palm fringed hillock gently sloping down to a warm and inviting sandy beach surf washed by the invigorating swells of the Arabian Sea. The setting is picture perfect, the view marvellous and the ambience rustic yet irresistible and laidback. Welcome to Nikki's Nest! Located off an ancient fishing village at Vizhinjam on the south-western sea board of the Indian peninsula, Nikki's Nest is only a stone's-throw away from Kovalam Beach – one of Kerala's tourist hot spots and just 20 kilometres from the International airport at Thiruvananthapuarm, the capital city of Kerala. Far from the madding crowd within the privacy of a secluded crescent-shaped beach the experience is truly sublime.
