The Setting
Picture the earth in all its glory. Warm sunny mornings that end cool, starry nights. Birdsong. Greenery. Peace. The Maharajas of Travancore chose this setting in the pristine hills of Kerala for their summer palace. Paradisa Plantation Retreat is also set against this backdrop, on our organically grown coffee and spice plantation. This area, renowned for its tea plantations, is on the ascent to the Cardamom Hills. The Retreat comprises traditional wooden Kerala houses, placed individually for complete privacy. Great care has been taken in the construction of the Retreat, not to alter the lay of the land, thereby preserving the original landscape.
Legend
Legend
The great Indian epic, the Mahabharata, has the five Pandava princes as its protagonists. Legend has it that the Pandava princes and their wife Panchali camped at a breathtakingly beautiful site, half a kilometer from the Retreat, later called 'Panchalimedu'. The remnants of their stay still exist.
