ACCOMMODATION
Architectural marvels in wood. Carved religiously on the principles of Thachushastra - the mystical science of engineering. Gabled roof, imposing wood columns at the entrance, panelled walls...step in and transport yourself into a pristine world that had challenged technology with aesthetic ingenuity. Golden flames flickering in exquisite Thookkuvilakku (hanging lamps) is Thapovan’s answer to electricity, water in charmingly designed basins for air conditioning, and the architectural genius of yore that allowed unhindered flow of cool air through all rooms. In the courtyard, a few paces in front of the entrance door, is the Thulasithara – a 3 feet high structure holding the hallowed Thulasi plant, symbolizing the presence of the divine.

The resort offers 32 rooms of traditional and ethnic architecture, 13 of them situated in a beautiful garden and 19 built on a cliff overlooking Nellikunnu Beach. The rooms are well maintained, tastefully designed and placed strategically to assure better view of the surrounding beauty.
