Ideal for writing, lounging, contemplating, or doing absolutely nothing. Located on the southern side, these 31 square metre cottages take the local inspiration a notch higher with cottage-style conical roofs, woodwork and bamboo details, while housing premium amenities.

Located at the corner of the resort to give you ringside views of the Banasura Lake and Hills, it is deliberately designed to indulge your senses. The entrance is reminiscent of old Kerala architecture and leads to a short path, flanked on one side by a thoughtful open sit-out and on the other with a trail to the kitchen. A thoughtfully appointed living-cum-dining room welcomes you within, wooden windows opening into the intimate sit-out. Luxuriate with two impeccably crafted bedrooms and bathrooms with tubs, all leading to your private deck – one that inspires introspection, while the adjacent infinity plunge pool coaxes you to relax and a manicured lawn presents a picture-perfect space for chatter.
