Sailing Into Forever with Gateway Bekal

The arrival of the wedding entourage is one of the most exhilarating rituals of a wedding, when music, dance, and the groom’s grand arrival converge into a sonnet of festivity. At Gateway Bekal, this timeless moment is transformed into something dreamlike, with the groom sailing across tranquil backwaters and backdrop of lush greenery, a unique moment of beauty and serenity.

The arrival becomes a timeless memory when the boat draped in fresh blossoms, cuts a graceful silhouette against the Valiyaparamba river, drifting like poetry in motion. The groom at the Riverside Lawn is greeted with the rhythm of Chenda Melam drums, the call of the conch, and the fluid elegance of Mohiniyattam dancers. Guests are spellbound with the magic, which is at once cinematic and sacred making it a truly unforgettable entry. 

The hotel is spread across 30 acres of lush greenery and just minutes from the historic Bekal Fort, offers 150 well-appointed rooms, including Executive Suites and Premium Cottages with private Jacuzzis. From the intimate Lotus venue for rituals to the waterside Amphitheatre for vows and cultural performances, each space is a stage for romance to unfold.

Enhanced by Kerala’s famed Ayurvedic spa traditions, a traditional Sadhya, served on banana leaves, with global flavours to enrich grand receptions, Gateway Bekal offers a canvas where love stories bloom into the perfect union and celebrations that linger long after the day ends.
