"Pool villas and pond-view suites in a Pollachi coconut grove"
Pollachi is coconut country, and Coco Lagoon leans into it: a resort set in a coconut grove on the rural edge of Coimbatore district, arranged around a pond, with the Western Ghats supplying the birdlife.
The rooms climb a neat ladder. Executive Deluxe rooms are the compact opening bid; the Tropical Suites choose between an upstairs balcony and direct lawn access; Pondview Suites put the water outside the window; and the pool villas — plunge and private — finish the run, the latter billed by the resort as its flagship. Wooden interiors are the house style throughout.
The best souvenir here is watching a sari being born.
What separates Coco Lagoon from the pool-and-buffet crowd is the programme: a handloom village where sarees are woven from scratch to finish, a palm jaggery tour, bullock cart rides, and a granite amphitheatre for the evenings. Further afield the resort runs tea tours to Valparai and kayaking at Thirumoorthy Dam. The Palm, the multicuisine restaurant, covers dishes from around the world; the infinity pool covers the afternoons.
Cosy, compact rooms with premium wooden accents, either opening out to the lawn or with balcony access.
Upstairs suites with a private balcony and elegant wooden interiors — suggested by the resort for couples.
Suites that step from the living room through a spacious bedroom straight onto the open lawn; the resort pitches them at families and nature enthusiasts.
Suites beside the pond with stylish interiors and a balcony view over the water — wake to its sounds and the surrounding greenery.
Villa with its own private plunge pool and a balcony view over the pond, blending modern amenities with privacy.
Coco Lagoon's flagship villa, with a private pool and a full run of amenities; two units, rooms 501 and 601.
By enquiry Founded in 1978, a few years after Ladakh first opened to travellers, and now stewarded by Ladakhis, this slow-travel base sits in Ayu village in the Indus Valley, built in traditional stone-and-mud style. Stay in a mud hut, a chalet or the duplex suite. Televisions have been removed from every room; a shared set waits in the Sarai Hall, which tells you what the place is for.
By enquiry A contemporary hotel on Old Leh Road, built the old Ladakhi way: thick, buttressed walls of compressed earth blocks made on site. Leh's main market is 350 metres away, Leh Palace just over a kilometre. Juniper, the ground-floor restaurant, works Ladakhi and Tibetan flavours through its menus, and the bathroom floors are heated — which, in a Leh winter, is no small thing.
By enquiry A small boutique resort between the Kannan Devan and Bison Valley hills, in Munnar's high ranges, with fourteen suites and two pool villas spread across the Muttukadu and Kumbappara hills. Every suite looks over the valley; some add Victorian jacuzzis, plunge pools or copper tubs. The outdoor pool is solar-heated mountain spring water, and the tea lounge is called 300 BC.
