Udupi's coastline offers a mix of budget-friendly lodges and boutique stays, with several positioned just steps from Malpe Beach, the region's most popular shore. Hotels like Malpe Sea Front Cottages place you directly on the sand, while central options on Kanakadasa Road keep you near the Sri Krishna Temple and local markets-both within a short drive of the beach.
Budget travelers can book basic rooms at Vyavahar Lodge or Hotel Janardana starting under ₹1,500 per night, which typically include free parking, WiFi, and 24-hour front desk service. For more comfort, Samanvay Boutique Hotel scores 86 for cleanliness and serves a buffet breakfast with local specialties. Rates rise to ₹4,000-₹6,000 at Paradise Isle Beach Resort, which offers a swimming pool and beachfront access, but you can also find well-rated central hotels like Meenakshi Inn that provide family rooms and free parking from ₹2,000.
