Set amongst the shimmering lagoon and the
vast expanse of green are houses built in
the traditional Kerala architecture. ‘Tharavadu’
and ‘Illam’ or ancestral homes
have been painstakingly re-created to experience
the rich culture that this place has to offer.
Seventeen such Illams have been built with
all the modern amenities. The windows open
to a haven of privacy, reposing in an ambience
of solitude and exuding oneness with nature
at her tranquil best. The soothing breeze
whispering through swaying coconut palms,
the chirping of birds and the gentle lapping
of the backwaters. Truly a paradise on earth.
Open-air bathrooms provide a pleasant and
unique bathing experience amidst the setting
of nature. Fishing is a favourite pastime
here.
