Marari Beach is at its best in the sun, which means it's always at its best! Kerala is sunny and warm all year round, although humidity levels and prices vary. Choose your holiday dates according to which weather conditions you prefer and which activities you plan to enjoy! 

The monsoon season spans from June through to October. Torrential rain and widespread flooding make this an imprudent time to undertake outdoor adventure activities, but it's the perfect period to take advantage of off-season prices.  As well as this, the rain and flooding mean water levels in the bays and canals are high, ideal for a variety of water-sports. Monsoon season is also known as Ayurveda season, and the intense humidity creates the perfect conditions for you to get the most out of your Ayurveda treatments.

September, at the tail end of the monsoon season, is the ideal time to visit. Prices are still off-season, but the mountains, forests and waterfalls are at the peak of their luscious green beauty. Furthermore, around the August/September period Keralites celebrate the Onam Harvest Festival with Snake Boat Races, in a tradition dating back to paddy-field workers showing off their skills in the water as they harvested the rice. Today, villagers emulate them by competing against each other in beautifully handcrafted boats. 

The weather is cooler and drier between October and February. While this is the perfect time to visit beaches, beware of the peak season prices from December to January, as well as larger crowds.

Between March and May, Kerala's summer hits its peak, with sweltering and humid weather, making conditions less than ideal for anything but doing nothing. If you enjoy hot, wet heat, take advantage of the off-season prices and hit up the beach!

In summary, Marari Beach is always beautiful, but September to February is the best time to visit for most people.
