Authentic plantation homestay in the unspoilt hills of northern Kerala, set on a 400-acre coffee and vanilla estate

If you want a taste of the planter’s life, you can’t do better than staying as personal guests of plantation director Victor Dey and his wife Jini. From the minute you arrive in the lush gardens, ablaze with scarlet hibiscus, birds of paradise, potted geraniums and busy lizzies, you know you are in good hands. Greeted effusively by the Deys and their three dogs, you immediately feel like old friends – and indeed many guests have become just that. You stay in a plantation bungalow, with a deep verandah and comfy chairs, and take cocktails and fabulous meals on the terrace with the Deys.

There’s a sparkling pool, private eyries with hammocks and swing chairs, a games room and well-signed walks through the coffee bushes and up to mountain viewpoints. Tranquil’s trump card is the combination of efficient hotel standards with a relaxed, personal house -party ambience.
