Mountain Villa Vagamon
Nothing else
Mountain Villa sits on a remote mountaintop in Vagamon, spread across five acres of forest and open space. Designed as an off-grid retreat, it’s a place for those who value quiet mornings, open views, and time away from constant noise. From here, the horizon unfolds into layered hills, distant valleys, and star-filled night skies.
- Completely off-grid, powered by solar and wind
- Farm-led, seasonal meals prepared on site
- Plastic-free and consciously low-impact
- Limited connectivity, by design
- A small number of thoughtfully restored cottages

Moments from the mountain
Our Cottages
A small collection of cottages shaped by what once stood on this land. Former working structures have been thoughtfully restored using natural materials, keeping new construction minimal and the landscape largely unchanged.
Stone Cottage
A restored estate labour shed with thick stone walls and calm interiors. Located close to the common areas, it suits families or couples who enjoy being at the heart of the property.
Planters Cottage
Once part of the estate’s labour quarters, now a private retreat set away from shared spaces. Simple interiors, a deep bathtub, and a private outdoor cabana tucked into the greenery.
Planters Annexe
A former cowshed reimagined as a small, minimalist cottage. Quiet, private, and ideal for solo travellers or couples seeking seclusion and forest views.
Woodhouse Cottage
Our only newly built wooden structure, designed as twin cabins with attic lofts. Open lawn and valley views make it a good fit for families or friends staying together.
Unique Experiences

At The Refectory
At the refectory, meals follow a steady, thoughtful rhythm. A set menu guides the kitchen, with dishes prepared fresh each day using produce from our garden and nearby farms. The food is simple and home-style, reflecting local Kerala traditions rather than elaborate dining.

- Home-cooked Kerala cuisine
- Thoughtful, responsible cooking
- Occasional campfire and barbecue evenings
