Had a lovely stay at Illa by the Sea. Everything was great, from the wonderfully helpful staff and really comfortable rooms to the yummy breakfasts. Having the beach practically to yourself is another huge plus, especially if you’re looking for a peaceful, relaxing getaway. It’s also just a 20–30 minute autorickshaw ride from Udupi, making it easy enough to head into town and explore the area. If you’re visiting, the Delta Point, Shri Krishna Temple and the Hanging Bridge backwaters are all must-visits. There’s plenty to see around Udupi, and Illa by the Sea makes for a lovely base to explore the region while still enjoying some peace and quiet. The only minor downside is that there aren’t too many places to eat in the immediate vicinity, so you’ll probably find yourself either traveling 20+ minutes by rickshaw or relying on Zomato for dinner. One humble suggestion to make an already lovely stay even better would be to provide a small fridge and microwave in the rooms/common room, so guests can store and heat up food when they’d rather have a quiet dinner in. All in all, a wonderful place to unwind by the sea. Highly recommended!
