Staying in Kozhikode
Kozhikode sits on the Arabian Sea with the Western Ghats rising to the east, and its neighbourhoods spread across hills and backwaters. Kozhikode Beach, Mananchira Square and Kappad Beach are the landmarks, while Mavoor Road and Nadakkavu hold the busiest hotel clusters. The listed hotels are scattered: Anjali Apartments and Seashell Apartments lie under a kilometre from the centre, Oshin Calicut and Beach House sit within a few kilometres, Dimora Kozhikode stands by the Thondayad bypass near Cyber Park, Sanketam Motel and Heliconia Villa Wayanad are further out.
This mix suits different trips. Couples and short-break visitors can base themselves at Beach House, close to the sea, or Oshin Calicut on Bank Road. Families get family rooms and kitchens at Anjali Apartments, kitchen and parking at Sanketam Motel. Business travellers prefer Dimora Kozhikode's business centre and fitness centre, or Oshin Calicut's central Bank Road address. Heliconia Villa Wayanad, 31.7 km from the centre, is for those heading towards the hills.
