This is a truly unique and memorable place to stay. Simon, the owner and his small team treat guests like friends - going out of their way to inform and delight. The location is magical and we were treated to wonderful tours of the plantation & a cooking demonstration- from enthusiastic and knowledgeable staff. The rooms, whilst simple, give you... More

The Paradisa offers a very different type of luxury to your usual 5 star hotels. The cottages, perched on the hillside, are in the traditional Kerala style. There is a refreshing simplicity about the accommodation, no air-conditioning, no glass in the windows just solid shutters and heavy wooden doors. Our rooms were spotlessly clean and every evening the staff fogged... More

The weather was perfect, after the humidity of Fort Cochin it was wonderful to have the hot sun and clear air. The villas are all facing the valley with the most fantastic views. We... More

Paradisa Plantation Retreat was the first destination on our Kerala trip in August 2012. This is a resort which is nicely hidden away on an off beat track on route to Thekkady / Periyar. So much so that we missed it the first time around and had to call the resort to get directions. Once you reach the resort, you... More
