Looking for a cozy, beachfront stay at Malpe Beach? Blue Waves Sea Front Cottage is just your ideal pick! During our Malnad trip in May 2025, we stumbled upon this cottage. We secured a first-floor room that offered stunning views. It was a memorable experience.
In this review, I’ll share why this cottage is a fantastic choice for families and friends. I will also provide tips to make the most of your stay.
Why Choose Blue Waves Sea Front Cottage at Malpe Beach?
Located right on Malpe Beach, Blue Waves Sea Front Cottage lives up to its name with its prime seafront spot. The cottage features two rooms—one on the ground floor and one on the first floor.
We were lucky to snag the first-floor room without prior booking, as the ground-floor room was already occupied. If you are dreaming of waking up to the sound of waves and a breathtaking Malpe beach view, this place delivers.
Our Experience at Blue Waves Sea Front Cottage
The Room: Spacious and Comfortable
Our group of four was thrilled with the first-floor room, which was spacious and well-suited for us. It featured:
- Two double cots, perfect for a group or family.
- Air conditioning, a wardrobe, sofas, tables, and a small chair.
- A storeroom for extra pillows and blankets.
- Complimentary 2 liters of water, along with adequate pillows, blankets, and towels.
The room was tastefully decorated, creating a welcoming vibe. However, the restroom was a bit small for such a large room and could use some improvement. Despite this, the overall comfort made it a great space to relax.
The Highlight: Balcony with Beach Views
The standout feature was the balcony, equipped with a table and chairs, offering unobstructed views of Malpe Beach. We spent evenings here, sipping drinks, enjoying food, and soaking in the cool sea breeze. Whether you’re chatting with friends or unwinding with family, this sit-out is the perfect spot to make memories.
Family-Friendly Vibe
Blue Waves Sea Front Cottage is ideal for families and groups of friends. Its proximity to the beach allows you to step out and enjoy the sand and waves whenever you please. The laid-back atmosphere makes it a stress-free retreat for all ages.
Amenities and Ambiance
The cottage strikes a balance between simplicity and comfort. The spacious room and breezy balcony create a relaxing ambience, while practical amenities like air conditioning and complimentary water add convenience. The lack of an in-house kitchen means you’ll need to arrange food externally, but more on that below.
Food Options
Blue Waves doesn’t have a kitchen, but you have plenty of options:
- Request staff to fetch food from nearby eateries.
- Take a short walk to local restaurants or food stalls.
- Order online via Swiggy or similar apps.
- Bring your own liquor (the cottage doesn’t sell it) and request glasses or plates, which the staff will provide.
For a nearby dining experience, we recommend Fisherman’s Bay Beach Café, just a short walk away. Known for its seafood and chilled beer, it offers a fantastic beach view. Check out our review of the café here.
Parking
There’s no dedicated parking within the property. You can drive right up to the cottage and park in a vacant space nearby. This was convenient for us, though a designated parking area would be a nice addition.
Cost
We paid Rs. 6,400 for the first-floor room after some negotiation, a perk of booking directly in May 2025. Online bookings may be pricier, and rates vary by season, so it’s worth checking in person if you’re flexible. For the beachfront location and spacious room, we found the price reasonable.

The spacious room, vibrant beachfront location, and that dreamy balcony made it a perfect retreat for our group of four.
