About this homestay

Tucked away on a tranquil 9-acre island estate, Emerald Isle is a beautifully preserved 150-year-old heritage villa surrounded by lush paddy fields and fish ponds. Built primarily in teak, the home features splendid wood carvings, a traditional Ara (timber storeroom), and stunning open-to-sky en-suite showers. Accessible by boat or a quiet bridge, this eco-friendly sanctuary offers unparalleled peace and a true escape into the sounds of nature. Guests can immerse themselves in a curated collection of local experiences right on the property: --> Kuttanadan Culinary Heritage: Savor local specialties like Karimeen Pollichathu (pearl spot fish) in the open-air garden, or join an immersive traditional cooking class. --> Authentic Island Pacing: Unwind in a hammock, explore the sprawling estate, or taste fresh 'toddy' harvested directly from the property's coconut palms. --> Water & Wellness: Enjoy peaceful fishing in private ponds, arrange a scenic houseboat ride, or deeply relax with traditional Ayurvedic treatments.
