Taking inspiration from the Portuguese, British and Dutch colonial periods, the whitewashed walls and terracotta roof fit seamlessly into their surroundings in Kochi’s history-rich streets. The courtyard provides a shady spot for reading a book or taking a dip in the pool overlooking the sea, while the Ayurvedic treatments of the spa are ideal for soothing tired bodies after a day of exploring the many highlights of the city.

Four restaurants and bars perfectly demonstrate the melting pot of cultures that have left their mark on Kerala’s cuisine, with Portuguese, Dutch, British, Arab, Jewish and regional Indian dishes and influences.
