Windermere Estate

Everything at the Windermere Estate is geared towards a different time, a different pace – inspired by the magic of plantation life. The property is intimate, with just 18 lovingly handcrafted rooms arranged around the original Planter’s Bungalow which still serves as the owner's residence. We’ve embraced our little cliff, building around the existing rock formations and trees to create a space that’s refreshingly close to nature.

The air here is crisp and clean, the temperature pleasant and the views spectacular. The breeze carries the aroma of coffee, cardamom and tea.We suggest rambling walks around the plantation and the surrounding tea gardens, a dip in the pool with the best view in the world, or cozying up with a book in the quiet library. The exclusive restaurant serves thoughtfully personalized, locally sourced cuisine, and guests often gather in the gazebo for coffee and a snack or under the estate’s famous boulder for a barbecue and bonfire. At the Windermere Estate, you can expect old-world minimalism over embellishment, and smiles that come straight from the heart.

On a 22-hectare spice and coffee plantation, this subdued resort spans a series of bungalows. It's a 12-minute walk from Pothamedu Viewpoint and 13 km from Eravikulam National Park.

Cosy, country-style rooms feature terracotta floors, teak furnishings and cedar beams, in addition to verandas with scenic rural views. Upgraded rooms and cottages add living areas. There's no air-conditioning.

International meals are served in a rustic dining room, in a thatched hut or on a terrace. The resort features gardens and guest lounges, and offers activities such as trekking and bird watching. Breakfast is available.
