The Ivory by Shore Story

A coastal retreat inspired by the rhythm of Malpe

Nestled along the shores of Malpe Beach, Ivory by Shore was created as a place where guests can slow down and reconnect with the simple pleasures of coastal living.

Every stay is shaped by the sound of the waves, refreshing sea breezes, and thoughtfully designed spaces that invite rest and relaxation. Whether you're watching the sunrise over the shoreline, exploring Malpe's vibrant coast, or sharing a leisurely meal with loved ones, every moment reflects the unhurried spirit of the destination.

Beyond the beach

Malpe sits inside Tulunadu — one of India's most distinct living cultures

Spirit worship, buffalo races, mask dances, and a cuisine built entirely around rice, coconut, and the day's catch — the coast around Udupi has its own language, its own gods, and its own table. We help guests meet all three.
