Located just steps away from the 5,000-year-old Sri Krishna Temple, the new resort has been designed as a tranquil retreat for pilgrims, families, and cultural explorers. It features 30 rooms, authentic Kerala dining at Annapoorani Restaurant, and curated spiritual and cultural experiences arranged through the in-house travel desk.
