About This Villa
Amaya is a beautifully restored 300-year-old Kerala illam that reflects the depth and richness of traditional architecture. Built using teak wood and laterite stone, the home is centered around sunlit courtyards, open verandahs, and thoughtfully preserved spaces like the mandapam, pooja room, and yajana shala. Every element of the home, from its intricate layout to its calming surroundings, carries a sense of history and quiet elegance.
Set within lush greenery in Kannur, the experience here is rooted in simplicity and connection. Guests can enjoy fresh, farm-to-fork meals sourced directly from the estate, unwind with traditional Kalari Ayurveda therapies, or explore cultural elements like the Sarpa Kavu and nearby temple festivities.
