Hotel Paradisa Plantation Retreat (Thekkady, India)

About Paradisa Plantation Retreat

Paradisa Plantation Retreat is a sprinkling of traditional wooden Kerala houses set on an organic coffee and spice plantation in the hills of Kerala. The cottages are decorated with beautiful antiques and contemporary art. A stay at Paradisa can be as active or restful as you wish. The activities could include yoga, cooking lessons, jungle treks, visits to the tea factory, a massage at the Ayurveda centre and a day trip to Periyar Tiger Reserve. There are also many spectacular walking routes, one of which leads to Panchalimedu, the legendary camping site of the Pandavas of the Mahabharata. Those who wish to relax may enjoy the spectacular views lazing by the pool. One of the best loved features of Paradisa Plantation Retreat is the food. Paradisa finds pride of place among the Frommer’s Guide’s 13 Top Spots for Food & Wine Lovers in which the reviewer writes “ Seeing where the spices grow and then tasting them in your dinner is its own sort of farm-to-table experience, of the most exotic and luxurious variety.”
