Hotel Rockholm crowns a rock that
reaches out to the sea over a lovely
cove, where the towering lighthouse
stands sentinel surveying all with
its sweeping beams in the night.
Rockholm is owned and managed by a
traditional Anglo Indian family
which can trace its roots back to
several generations. Today Rockholm
bears a delightful ambience of both
the East and West.
Accommodation
It offers a blend of comfort
and tranquility and has 22
well-furnished rooms and one
penthouse. The rooms offer a
panoramic view of the unending sea
and the towering lighthouse, which
commands the sea, patrolling all
reachable areas with its yellow
beams during the night. Each and
every room of the hotel has proper
ventilation with fresh air and has
abundance of natural light.

Facilities
The blend of comfort,
tranquility and sheer good taste
which one comes across at Rockholm
has been perfected with the deep and
rare knowledge of two great
cultures. At Rockholm, one can say
that the twain have finally met. The
personnel at the hotel have been
around for a long time and show a
friendliness and caring that is
found only in old family retainers.
During the day, the sun kissed
beaches invite you to either take a
long stroll or just be plain lazy
and bask in the sun under shady palm
trees or beach umbrellas. The
inviting waters of the blue sea
beckon you to take a swim and later
dry off in the sun, gifting yourself
a glorious tan with little or no
effort.
With the bobbing lights of the
fishing boats in the distance and
the western sky still showing
crimson where the sun went down, the
open air seafront restaurant sets
the ideal stage to feel the night
and calm descend upon earth. Nothing
breaks the spell except a rare clink
of crystal or a peal of laughter.
The haunting music of the sea below,
punctuated by the vast sweeps of
beams from the lighthouse provides
the backdrop for the evening.
Needless to say, it is usually the
memory of an evening at the open air
restaurant that many carry back
home.
A longtime favourite of the
international tourist, Rockholm can
proudly claim that it spends little
money on advertising. It usually
takes a few hours for a routine
guest to turn into a life long
patron and the few good words they
speak back home bring new seekers of
leisure built on a rock.

waters invite you for swimming to

backwaters or the fishing boats also
seem to be a great option.
