IT’S TIME TO
DIVE INTO A LIFESTYLE
Need a place to get away? From the colonial elegance of Fort Kochi to the wilderness of Marayoor, from ancient Ayurvedic healing to vibrant artistic traditions, this journey reveals Kerala's many faces. Each destination has been selected for its unique character and the authentic experiences it offers, ensuring your time in God's Own Country is both memorable and meaningful.
HISTORIC FORT KOCHI
Your Kerala adventure begins the moment you land in Kochi, where we'll whisk you away to the enchanting Fort Kochi district. Your home for the first two nights is the Old Harbour Hotel, a beautifully restored heritage property that perfectly captures the colonial charm and maritime history of this fascinating port town.
Fort Kochi is where centuries of trade and cultural exchange have left their mark. During your stay, you'll wander through streets lined with Portuguese, Dutch, and British colonial architecture, each building telling stories of spice merchants and seafaring adventurers. The iconic Chinese fishing nets silhouetted against the sunset provide the perfect backdrop for evening strolls, while the nearby spice markets offer sensory overloads of cardamom, pepper, and cinnamon.
UNTAMMED WILDERNESS
After immersing yourself in Fort Kochi's cultural tapestry, we'll take you on a scenic 4-hour drive through Kerala's changing landscapes to reach one of our most unique destinations: The Mudhouse Marayoor. This extraordinary property offers three nights of complete immersion in Kerala's untouched wilderness.
Marayoor is Kerala's best-kept secret – a region of rolling hills covered in natural sandalwood forests, ancient dolmens, and prehistoric cave paintings. The Mudhouse itself is an architectural marvel, built entirely from local materials using traditional techniques, creating accommodations that blend seamlessly with the natural environment.
ANCIENT WELLNESS
Your wellness journey continues with a 4-hour drive to Palakkad, where Kalari Kovilakom awaits to introduce you to Kerala's ancient healing traditions. This isn't just accommodation – it's a complete Ayurvedic experience that will rejuvenate both body and mind over your two-night stay.
Kalari Kovilakom operates as a traditional Ayurvedic healing center, where qualified practitioners assess your individual constitution and create personalized treatment plans. Your stay includes authentic Ayurvedic therapies using herbs grown on the property, yoga sessions in serene surroundings, and specially prepared meals designed to balance your doshas.
CULTURAL CAPITAL
Your final destination is Thrissur, Kerala's undisputed cultural capital, where you'll spend two nights at Clayfingers, a unique property that celebrates the region's rich artistic heritage. The 2-hour drive from Palakkad takes you through rural Kerala, offering glimpses of village life and traditional farming practices.
Thrissur is home to some of Kerala's most spectacular festivals, ancient temples, and thriving arts scene. Even if you're not visiting during the famous Thrissur Pooram festival, the city pulses with cultural energy year-round. Your base at Clayfingers provides the perfect introduction to Kerala's artistic traditions, with opportunities to try your hand at pottery, observe local craftsmen at work, and learn about the techniques that have been passed down through generations.
