Philipkutty’s Farm

Set amongst 35 acres of a working plantation, the enchanting Philipkutty’s Farm offers an authentic Keralan ‘homestay’ experience and a superb insight into local lifestyle and cuisine. Located on a small island that was reclaimed from the backwaters of Kerala and is accessible only by a private canoe, Philipkutty’s Farm is comprised of 5 spacious, independent, traditional Keralan style waterfront villas. The spacious air-conditioned villas are designed in traditional style and tastefully decorated with beautifully carved antique doors and windows, clay floor-tiles, and carved wooden ceilings that seamlessly integrate with the verdant landscape. Each villa has a small wrap-around veranda, which is perfect for guests who wish to relax and admire the stunning views. While some villas have a separate living room and a bedroom, others have an open-plan design. The hosts - Anu, her two young children and her gracious mother-in-law are known for their warm hospitality and sumptuous home-made Keralan cuisine. No request is too much for the hosts and they are always around for a conversation. Equally, Anu and her family are also aware that some guests prefer a greater degree of privacy. At Philipkutty’s Farm lavish traditional Keralan meals are prepared by Anu and her mother-in-law and served either in the main family dining room or in the privacy of your veranda. Activities offered at Philipkutty’s Farm include nature walks, bicycle rides around the local villages and, with advance notice, cooking lessons.
