Stay a bit close to the heaven – Vasundhara SAROVAR Premiere

Vasundhara-Saravar

 

 

Turning away from the modern  four-lane  highway, one  touch immediately into the Kerala landscape. The  ride is now slower, the road  winding its way through the village. The moment you are off the highway,  part of your stress is gone. The car moves slowly through the village road and almost at the end  of it you reach Vasundhara. Even though it’s a small distance from the highway, all seems entirely different. Vasundhara even from outside the gate seemed to be magnificent.
Vasundhara is a seamless  blend of the traditional and the modern. One may be easily amused by the kind effort which has gone behind to make the resort.  Let it be the natural flooring, with terra cota tiles, coconut wood flooring , traditional cement flooring pigmented with oxides to give that yesteryear feel. Thanjavoor paintings and artwork on granite from Pondicherry.
The lobby of the hotel is entirely different from what you have seen in other hotels. It is a slice of Kerala culture with the Thrissur Pooram depicted with all its awe and elegance. The elephant caparisons, the umbrellas and life size figures of Kerala’s own art forms make the lobby real exclusive. The upper deck is decorated by a genre of painting called Namboothiri painting. In the evening when all the lamps are lit and music played, the lobby of the hotel transforms literally into a festival ground. The theme of the lobby is carried throughout the hotel.
Nature has truly blessed the place Vayalar with all its beauty, the sprawling lake  and the natural breeze give a freshness to the entire space. All the rooms have a lake view, and the design is done to fully capture the beauty of nature.
