The space
Cotton Hill belongs to the Panjikunnel family. This home — and the quiet land it rests on — has always been special to us. After a long season of careful improvement, we've decided to open it up, so that others can enjoy these settings the way we always have.
We trust you'll give the house the respect it deserves, rest deeply, and feel at home here. We look forward to sharing our piece of paradise with you.

Beyond the gate.
Pravithanam sits in Kerala's Meenachil countryside — an easy drive from forest waterfalls, misty viewpoints, and centuries-old churches. A few of our favourites:
~20 min awayBharananganam & St. Alphonsa's Shrine
One of Kerala's most-visited pilgrim towns — home to the shrine of St. Alphonsa, India's first woman saint, set among centuries-old Syrian Christian churches around Pala.
~1 hr awayIllikkal Kallu
A dramatic rock peak in the Western Ghats with sweeping 360° views and cool, misty mornings — a short, rewarding climb rewards you with one of the region's finest panoramas.
~1 hr awayMarmala Waterfall
A 200-foot falls tucked deep in the forest near Teekoy — a gentle trek through rubber plantations leads down to a cool pool at its base.
What our guests say.
“A genuinely restful stay. We didn't want to leave.”
