Amma means mother in Tamil. Steps away from the gorgeous Kallady Beach is Amma’s Hut, a simple and beautiful “Hut” with an “Amma” to take care of you. Let Amma cook your breakfast on firewood while you enjoy a sandy birdy garden. A sunrise delicacy… Have you ever stayed in a hut with a looooong stretch of sandy beach just around the corner?
