STORY & SPACES

Nakshathra Mana began as a dream to return home. The owners lived in Bangalore and wanted an idyllic retreat reminiscent of the Kerala they knew — welcoming villages, delicious food and a rich blend of cultures.

After purchasing the unconventionally designed property from a prolific Keralan photographer and flautist, many sections needed to be dismantled and reconstructed. Materials

This place is exquisite. All of us friends had the most relaxed and fabulous 2 days here. The attention to details and all the little little things around the house make it very interesting. Definitely coming back soon. The staffs took very good care of us. Thank You.

Thank you so much for the beautiful stay. I never want to leave the food, the pool and much more. My older sister is gluten-free and we were perfectly catered for. We went swimming every day and there are so many rooms (we only needed two). Thank you so much. Me and my family spent so much time together swimming, playing games. I am so sad to leave, thank you so much. - Sylvie,...

We got married on Jan 1st in Chennai and then came here with our closest friends to relax & celebrate. We have had the best time. The food, the architecture, the service, the details, the smells, the experiences — everything was perfect! We don't want to leave. We will be back soon. Every moment here was so special & beautiful, in part because the house is beautiful everywhere ...

There isn't much that I can add. The previous comments have articulated the welcoming nature of Nakshathra Mana quite well. The attention to detail of the staff, care for our every need & preemptive anticipation of our every need (still not sure how they do it). Rahul & his staff are incredible, the space is absolutely dreamy. Thank you for everything! - The Nath family

We kept our word and came back and the service was just as hospitable if not better and the property is just as amazing. The sceneries never cease to amaze and we had a nourishing, rejuvenating weekend. This is by far one of the finest holiday homes I have stayed in and the owners have an incredible flair for aesthetics and design. Rajul, Ajith and the whole team were very acco...

Our stay at Nakshathra Mana was exceptional!! It's an experience which cannot be described in words. I am unable to decide where I should begin, the ambience, the food or the courteous service. Everything is so meitculously taken care of. Flawless!! From the moment we stepped in till we left, we were pampered and spoilt to the core. We celebrated my father's 70th birthday here ...

Well! Words are not enough to script the serene natural experience of this unique, exquisite retreat 'Nakshathra' in the midst of thick green foliage, far in contrast to the 'metropolis life' of 'Urban India' vibrated by the peak of sound. In fact, 'silence' is the 'peak of sound' which is the 'essnence' of this 'remarkable place'.

The interior of the villa is very suitably do...

What a wonderful experience Nakshathra Mana is! We came here to spend time as a family with grandparents, parents and grandkids as young as just a few months. The peace and tranquility of this place gave us a sense of calm and provided the time to catch up that is missing from our otherwise busy lives. The freshwater swimming pool was a huge hit with teh young ones, the persona...

It was a wonderful experience to have been here with family and kids and grandchildren. We thoroughly enjoyed the stay here with the lovely surroundings in and around the pool and backwaters. For us, although we are located not far from this place, found it to be amazing and tantalizing. My eldest son from the US spotted this lovely place through a friend in Kottayam and my sec...

Thankyou for the lovely stay for the McLoughlin family. You have created a lovely heaven for us to return to after days adventuring. You kindly responded to far too many requests for milkshakes, chils, snacks + even fishing for our 3 boys which was great. We will certainly recommend a stay to our friends + family.
