The
port city of Cochin, the 'Queen of the Arabian Sea', with one of
the finest natural harbours in the world, is an important transit
point for many destinations in Kerala, in addition to being a destination
in itself. Royal Village is located on a verdant island 16 Kms from
Kochi airport and 8 Kms from Ernakulam town railway station, accessible
both by road and by inland waterway. |
|
|
Thatched
roof huts, with interiors to match three star classification, welcome
you to relax in comfort. Built on the fine lines of tribal huts,
the village stay gives you a feeling of living in harmony with nature.
Unique open air bath gardens with each hut offers you the pleasure
of a shower al fresco, in complete privacy. |
The
Village Restaurant 'Periyar', with its thatched roof and open-air
ambience, offers an ideal atmosphere to relax and savor the
'Naadan' (local) food. The restaurant serves you traditional Kerala
cuisine and a variety of Indian dishes as well as Continental and
Chinese food. 'Service with a Smile' is the motto of the dedicated
and experienced staff at Royal Village. |
|
|
Enjoy this quiet retreat in the ideal ambience of a 100 year
old 'Tharavadu' (traditional family house), set under the spreading
foliage of Tamarind and Jackfruit trees and surrounded by low-slung
mango trees and swaying coconut palms, where you wake up to
the cooing of exotic birds.
