Au Revoir Resort

A non-smoking, alcohol-free resort welcoming only married couples. Relax in nature and refresh your soul. Au Revoir Resort Palakkad
Neatly tucked into a hillock, bang amidst a wildlife sanctuary and nature reserve along the Western Ghats or the Sahyadiri Mountain (mountain of patience) ranges at the Palakkad Pass in Kerala and bordering the neighboring state of Tamil Nadu, the Au Revoir Wellness R

etreat is a well-hidden getaway from the touristy trails of God's Own Country, yet easily accessible. With misty and often cloud-shrouded evergreen mountains in the foreground standing sentinel over a majestic lake with high-rising reserve forests in the background, the setting here is picture-perfect! Situated about 15 kilometers from Palakkad city off the ring-road along the Malampuzha Dam (the largest reservoir in Kerala), the drive to Au Revoir is breathtakingly beautiful and getting there is half the fun. Situated a few kilometers away from the often crowded environs of the dam with its amusement parks and gardens, the narrow but well-maintained road snakes alongside the crystal clear waters of the catchment area on the one side and rubber plantations and the reserve forest on the other. En route, there are a number of scenic spots perfect for wetting your feet, picnics, angling and taking picturesque photographs and selfies. Spread across 4.4 acres with free-standing structures artfully built into the steep terrain on stilts retaining the natural lay of the land, the architectural style of the retreat seemingly blends into the tastefully landscaped environs. This is part of the plan, to generate a sense of oneness with all things. Simple yet elegant with charming gabled roofs topped with traditional red clay tiles are indeed a pleasant site to behold in the impossibly green surroundings. The impressive gateway in the typical Keralan style gives way to a steep driveway that leads onto a spacious porch housing the main building. The warmly welcoming lobby and reception area also houses a multi-cuisine restaurant, a coffee shop and a business center. The tall ceiling with glass walls here overlook the children's play area on the one side and the rest of the retreat on the other. The administrative offices are also located here on the first floor.
