Folklore has it that the mighty River Bharatapuzha took a temperamental turn centuries ago. Back in time, this river, also known as the River Nila, had gushed languidly across present day Arangottukara (aran.gottu.ka.ra.). And thus the name of this dreamy little village. Arangottukara literally means “the land the river left behind”. Since then civilization flourished in all its unhurried glory, largely preserved to this day. A perfect setting for a boutique wellness retreat that embraces nature and all the goodness of time-honoured tradition, to bring you a life-changing experience. Perfect for a bunch of friends (three couples or six individuals), looking for a quite re-discovery of their inner purpose. Welcome home!
Leelalayam, or the abode of miracles, was conceived as an oasis of peace where one could allow the leisurely pace of life and the calming effect of solitude work its magic, so that one leaves with a clear sense of purpose and an enhanced joy quotient. Eighty years ago, in pre-independence India, on this very spot stood an ancient Mana, a Brahmin household, wrapped in tradition and culture. Over time, with its inhabitants leaving to settle in Geneva, the Mana fell on sorry times with no upkeep. As scripted by fate, the Mana exchanged hands in 2010 and ownership passed on to an ardent enthusiast who had always dreamed of owning a piece of ancient history in this land already rich with tradition and folklore.Thus was born Leelalayam. A heaven of peace built lovingly from the ruins of a grand old Mana and furnished with traditional art pieces collected over the years by the new owners. An idyllic boutique retreat, to kindle a renewed zest for life and living.
