Every room at Windermere has been thoughtfully handcrafted over the years, step inside & you feel the warmth and comfort of a home. Step outside, and you are rejuvenated with the fresh mountain air.A holiday that's for the mind and soul.

At Windermere, we have always been partial to minimalism instead of embellishment, and homely warmth over opulence. The rooms here are set in bungalows that are a throwback to the old ways of life: gabled roofs; high ceilings; beams of red cedar; teak furniture; terracotta floors rubbed with linseed oil and hardwood floor polished with traditional wax; linen furnishings lovingly embroidered by women from the planter’s family; and crochet and cross-stitch art framed on walls. Cooled by the surrounding mist all day, there are no fans or air conditioner here, for none are ever required.

We offer a thoughtful choice of Continental, Oriental and Indian cuisine for meals as well as breakfasts. Also making a frequent appearance on our table d’hote menu are many of our family recipes handed down by generations of inventive Syrian Christian Malayali women who took great pride in their kitchens and backyard gardens. To keep the cherished legacy alive, we have been growing an assortment of fruits and vegetables on our estate for several years now—bananas, passion fruit, tree tomatoes, guavas, and gooseberries, to name a few—just so we can bring you fresh food as best as we can. Even the pure honey served on our tables is all thanks to the diligent bee-keepers on our plantation.
