If you want to visit a quiet beach, escape the pressures of life in the big city, Seas the Day is the place to be! Away from the crowds of Mangalore and Manipal, nestled on the pristine sands of a secluded beach yet undiscovered by tourists, the beach house is picturesque, charming and with all the comforts and vibe of a home. The property works closely with the local community from the village who are directly benefited from the guests who visit it. The fisherman’s family act as caretakers of the property, the nearby restaurants you dine at or call for take outs, the rickshaw drivers who do door pick ups, the boatman who take you to sea, all, neighbours you can call at any time, no matter how big or small your request they will reach out to their network to find a way of fulfilling it. The property is built thoughtfully using local laterite stone, a 250 year old indegenious technique of coating the inside walls with egg shells, egg white and lime, which meant they could be left unpainted and will not require a coat of paint for life. Every part of the house has been carefully designed like the pebbles implanted at the sit out, the old door upcycled and restored into a dining table and the teak wood windows and doors sourced from homes belonging to the British Raj.
