Serenity at Kanam Estate

Vazhoor, Kerala, India

Rooms

This wonderful 1920s plantation estate bungalow has been beautifully restored and is decorated entirely in keeping with its colonial past. The dark timber and panelling throughout the property are exquisite and the warm terracotta and turquoise colours that dominate the interiors blend perfectly with the profusion of colonial furniture and with the local environment.

There are 5 bedrooms (3 double rooms and 2 twin rooms), each with an attached shower room and air conditioning. The rooms on the ground floor have polished stone floors and there is coir carpeting in the first-floor rooms. The house is replete with stunning artefacts and paintings that have been collected over the years by the owner. The linen and fabrics used throughout are fine, natural Indian cotton and canvas, adding a cool, crisp feel.

There is one additional twin room which may be used if you want to take the entire villa, meaning the house can accommodate 12 people in total. It has lovely views as it sits over the porch and has 3 walls of windows. Although it does not have its own attached bathroom, it does have a small shower room at the end of the corridor.

Features include:

  • TV
  • Air-Conditioning
  • Fan
  • Extra Beds
Save to favouritesPrintMailSerenity at Kanam EstateA sister hotel to the stylish [h:IS012:Malabar House], [h:IS108:Purity], [h:IS013:Discovery], [h:IS031:Privacy] and [h:IS011:Trinity], Serenity is a 2-hour drive from Cochin and halfway to the wildlife reserve of Periyar, near Thekkady, making it the ideal stopover on this otherwise rather long journey. Sitting on a small hilltop, the views over the Blue Mountains of the Western Ghats are breathtaking and the surrounding rubber plantation, along with the shady pool, papaya trees, pepper vines and the resident elephant, create a thoroughly tropical feel. With just 6 [r:IS032:rooms], this converted 1920s estate house is always peaceful and there's little to disturb you except for the sounds of nature. It can be hired in its entirety as a fully-staffed private villa and would make a great destination for a group of friends travelling together. Alternatively, individual rooms can be taken, with guests dining together on the freshest local produce. There are wonderful, guided walks to be had through the rubber plantations, an Ayurvedic spa on site, and Kottayam, with its profusion of churches, is close by. Serenity exudes charm, peace and style.
