Ombodhi Retreat Hotel - Kumta

Beachfront eco-friendly retreat on a private Kumta shoreline

Accommodations

Ombodhi Retreat sits on a 10-acre beachfront property with 25 cottages and rooms, most offering sea views. The Family Studio Rooms accommodate four people and include a kitchen after a seven-day stay. Rooms lack televisions to encourage relaxation, but have a veranda, air conditioning, and a private bathroom with shower and toiletries.

Dining & Sustainability

The beachside restaurant sits 82 ft from the water and serves organic vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes made with fresh, locally sourced ingredients. All water on the property passes through a Water Treatment Plant (WTP) before reaching bathrooms and the kitchen, and used water is sprayed into the plantation. The hotel runs an organic vegetable garden that supplies the kitchen, reinforcing the eco-friendly commitment.

Wellness & Recreation

Guests can practice yoga in one of two dedicated spaces: a studio overlooking the beach and another located about 700 ft inland. On-site activities include beach volleyball, frisbee, and board games, and hammocks and beach recliners are placed around the property for quiet moments. A private, uncrowded beach with direct access is available for swimming and sunset walks.

Location & Nearby Attractions

OmBodhi Retreat is set in Kumta, within easy reach of Jog Falls, Yana Rocks, and the beaches of Gokarna. Gokarna is 26 miles away by road or 9 miles via a ferry across the Aghanashini river. Dandeli and other natural sites are also nearby for day trips.

Family & Accessibility

Dedicated areas for children's play and family activities are available on the grounds, and the Family Studio Rooms come with separate kitchen facilities for longer stays. The hotel provides wheelchair accessibility, toilets with grab rails, and other facilities for disabled guests. Spacious parking and a 24-hour power backup ensure convenience for families arriving by car.
