Explore Tamil Nadu with Keralan Beach
Take a journey through rural Tamil Nadu and visit some of the oldest cities in India. Finish on a remote beach in Kerala.
Mantra Koodam is a traditional Tamil property situated in the heartland of the former Chola empire in the Kaveri Delta. The property focuses on values, faith and spirituality, so it is an ideal place for relaxation and taking some time out. You won’t find alcohol or meat served, and it’s not recommended to bring your alcohol, so in that respect, it is quite self-selecting.
The Anna Prakshana restaurant focuses on healthy cuisine, and the chef will happily cater to your requests. The beautiful pool is perfect to while away an afternoon and the river is just a few minutes walk away for a safe paddle. The elegant, typically Tamil cottages and villas situated throughout the herbal gardens, are pleasantly designed and come with sit out verandas. They are on the simpler side, albeit still comfortable and characterful.
The retreat has a strong emphasis on service, and all guests are made to feel very welcome, you’ll notice the lovely ambience as soon as you check-in. The rural feel makes it’s easy to escape and see a different way of life. If you are looking for luxurious accommodation, a gin and tonic in the evening and slick service, this probably isn’t the place for you, but we find it’s an attractive option for most, including families.
Superior - This is what we would describe as our standard category. These will be decent 3/4* hotels providing a really good level of service. We would generally expect them to be providing a little something extra, in terms of character, guest experience or facilities too.
