Holi

The Holi bash will take place on the beach adjoining the resort. Arrangements have been made for makeshift pools & water sprinklers.

Dress code for Holi is a combination of White and Abir colors. 

There will be fun, games & prizes for all. 

Colors

Bharati has made arrangements for organic abir in multiple shades. Please refrain from bringing your own colors. 

Usage of colors should be restricted solely to the beach area. You’re expected to rinse off the colors before re-entering the main hotel premises. 

Please note that we are prohibited from using the hotel pool or premises during the Holi celebrations. 

Do’s & Don’ts

1. The resort is situated in a heavily wooded area. Chances are there will be a lot of mosquitoes. Thus, it is advisable that you carry some form of mosquito repellant. 
2. The shoreline is quite rocky and it’s best you do not venture out to the sea to avoid injuries. 
3. There’s a warning sign about jellyfish – another reason to avoid the sea. 
4. Holi will be played only with the organic abir and no other colors. 
5. Do not get into the swimming pool or hotel premises while you have Holi colors on you. Please note that soiling the pool water bears strict consequences, as we will have to pay for replacement of the pool water and cleanup of the filters.
