General

Eaati cottage at the Heritage Villa at Mararikulam

Rejuvenate at this Heritage Villa at Maraarikulam, a stunning example of Kerala architecture, amidst verdant tranquillity. 

Placid backwaters and sprawling paddy fields greet you in picturesque Maraari village, situated about 15 km from Alleppey. The famous Vembanad Lake and its backwaters are a stone’s throw away from this Heritage Villa at Maraarikulam.  With old temples, churches, sparkling beaches, and bird sanctuaries close by, this is one destination that offers you plenty of experiences.

Ensconced in a calm natural setting amidst high trees and lush lawns, this Heritage Villa at Maraarikulam echoes the charm of a bygone era. With traditional wooden wall paneling and typical Kerala exteriors, the traditional Kerala houses on the property sprawl over 3.5 acres and merge seamlessly with nature. The doors of the kitchen here stay open all day for you to enjoy beverages, snacks, and meals.  Quite a few local sea food delicacies feature on the menu that includes a wide selection of vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes.  The library on the property has a stash of interesting books for you to delve into as well as a few board games if you are inclined to spend some time on these.

There are five rooms divided among three traditional wood houses, all furnished elegantly. Known as ‘Illams’, the structures are named after trees – Eatti, Chandanam, and Maavu. Eatti has two bedrooms, a large living room that can double up as a bedroom, and a sit-out making it ideal for large groups and big families. Chandanam has two interconnecting rooms which also come with their own separate entrances from the large veranda that hugs the house. A large family room and veranda make up Maavu which is furnished with one king size bed and a smaller double bed to easily accommodate up to four people. This Heritage Villa at Maraarikulam is the best way to experience the laidback lifestyle of rural Kerala firsthand.
