Planning around your flight
Taxis from the airport bring you straight to the resort. When you book, share your flight time so the team can plan your arrival. Check-in is from 2 pm and check-out is by 11 am; if your flight lands early or leaves late, ask the team what can be arranged for that day.
More than a place to sleep
The resort sits on the freshwater Periyar, not the sea or the backwaters. Days are for the pool, the lawns and the river view; nights are quiet, with fireflies along the bank.
