About Our Heritage Sanctuaries: Stays & Spaces
These heritage cottages are naturally cool thanks to traditional architecture like red oxide flooring and terracotta tiles, so we keep them non-AC to maintain that authentic feel. If you are used to city-style climate control, this is a conscious shift toward a simpler, slower way of living, designed specifically to help you disconnect and rest.
Our campus is not built, it was brought here. We traveled to Kerala to find ancestral homes like the Aranmula Palace and the Pulinkunnu Mana, dismantling them beam by beam and reassembling them here in Bangalore. When you stay in these 75 to 100-year-old structures, you are not just checking into a room; you are living inside a piece of history.
Why our architecture matters for your healing
These homes were built using Nala Kettu principles, designed for natural airflow and a deep connection to the outdoors. You will notice the high ceilings, the cool touch of the red oxide flooring, and the wooden windows that open up to our campus gardens. We intentionally keep these spaces free from televisions and other modern distractions to facilitate a genuine digital detox.
Your heritage experience
Whether you stay in the Ambara Mana or the Neeloor Mana, you will find that the space feels like a residence rather than a clinical environment.
- Ambara Mana: A 73-year-old cottage perfect for reflection, featuring a garden bath.
- Pulinkunnu Mana: Our former landlord's residence from Kuttanad, now housing our therapy centers.
- Aranmula Palace: Our 18th-century reception building that sets the tone for your arrival.
Every cottage is surrounded by the 300+ varieties of medicinal herbs we grow on-site. By choosing a heritage stay, you are choosing an environment that breathes with you, helping your nervous system settle as soon as you step through the door.
