Restored to its original glory, this 5-bedroom heritage homestay is nestled amidst the calming greenery of Kerala. The historic estate with a stepping pond and a traditional Kerala-style spa experience was built nearly 300 years ago and has seen innumerable historic events. The villa is located 15 minutes (7 km) away from Kannur International Airport, 3 hours (92 km) from Kozhikode and 4.5 hours (180 km) from Mysore. Guests can explore local tourist attractions like Velliyamparamba Waterfalls 10 mins (5.5 km), Palukachippara View Point 20 mins (11 km) and Pazhassi Dam just 20 mins (10 km) The estate is known as the “Illam” of the local village. An “Illam” served as the tharavad (ancestral house) of Namboodiri Brahmin families who served as patriarchs of the village temple. The entire structure of the Illam is built using teak wood and laterite stone that was mined from the local Malabar quarries The pond on the right side of the home is a stepping pond made from the same laterite stone. The pond draws its water from underground sources and has steps slopping down to the bottom from all sides. A sloping roof was built near the pond which was used by women in the house for washing and bathing. SaffronStays Amaya is an integral part of the community festivities. Theyyam, a form of Keralite worship where locals perform various dance forms including Kathakali and old folklore, is a unique festival that takes place annually in December, in and around the locale.
