DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Master Bedroom

A large, elegant space with a high-vaulted roof, the art centrepiece is a collection of sacred hearts from Latin America forming a heart-shaped collage. A gorgeous window seat opens to the courtyard for a beautiful view of the pool and backwaters at all times of the day. The luxurious ensuite bathroom is a large partially open-to-sky space in a small, lush garden with a Hobbitsian window to the outside.

Ground Floor Bedroom One

High ceilings and tall French windows with elegant drapery lend a quiet understated texture to this room with its unique lights and art deco furniture. Doors open directly to a private sit-out and onwards to the pool and the outdoor dining shack.

Ground Floor Bedroom Two with Loft

Similar to Ground Floor Bedroom One in space, the room differs in its beautiful tropical bathroom with wooden flooring and large, leafy foliage. The bedroom leads to a walled outdoor sit-out surrounded by plants and direct access to the garden. Within the room, wooden stairs lead to a loft with a single bed.

Attic Bedroom

For a single traveller or teenagers, the attic bedroom is tucked away in the centre of the house at its highest roof point. Stairs lead up from the dining area into a delightful hideaway nook with welcoming sloped ceilings and exposed rafters. A distinct stained-glass window provides diffused natural light.

There is no ensuite bathroom, but an independent fourth full bathroom is available on the ground floor.

Swimming Pool & Massage Sala

The gorgeous large freshwater pool is chlorine-free, instead using a natural water source and a mini ecosystem to create a biofilter that keeps the water clean. This also gives the pool its characteristic green tint. Around the pool are loungers where you can be pampered by our team with your favourite nibbles and beverage.

Lakeside Verandah

The east verandah spills out onto the private lake. No other space at Nakshathra Mana epitomises the do-nothing theme than here. Beautiful planter chairs invite you to watch the many moods of the water as the sun makes it way across the sky. Reflect, meditate, read. Steps lead down to the water, where at dusk, you can set afloat a candle carrying a prayer.

Living Spaces

The open-to-sky sunken courtyard forms the fulcrum of the house, around which living, dining and sleeping spaces are arranged. On its eastern side lies the true heart of the house — the Music Lounge. Each morning, the floor-to-ceiling glass doors are opened out and the courtyard, lounge and lake-front verandah become one flowing communal space.

Natural light casts a warm glow on the painted wall of water lilies, inspired by the lake. In the evening, the doors are closed, the air-conditioning switched on and the warm tones of music bring a different energy to the lounge.

Outdoor Dining Space

Inspired by the beach shacks of Goa, the outdoor dining area is designed for barefoot meals together with loved ones. Specially sourced soft white sand feels like powder between the toes! The dining area is comfortable with cane furniture and summery furnishings. A fully equipped open-plan kitchen has a BBQ, cooking station and refrigeration. This is a place to demonstrate your culinary skills or join the chef and new. The villa team will serve different meals depending upon the menu being planned here.

Indoor Dining Room

Though technically indoors, this room feels refreshingly spacious. Located on the south side of the central courtyard, it has an 8-seater dining table under a gorgeous brass chandelier. On one side sits a large hand-painted sideboard. Murals above depict scenes from toddy and tea shops of Kerala. On the opposing side, a service counter opens up views to the quietly efficient kitchen where our chefs are busy creating magic. French doors open up to a sit-out with day beds facing the garden.

Garden Pavilion

On the far side of the lake at the edge of the backwater is a beautiful reading pavilion. Repurposed from an antique palanquin, it is a cosy cushion-filled space in which to curl up with a book while occasionally distracted by the comings and goings of rural backwater life.
