HIBISCUS EARTH
Hibiscus Earth is a self sustained boutique holiday villa with a pool situated in a small sleepy hamlet in Kerala. Ostensibly far from the madding crowd, Hibiscus is nestled beside the Vembanad Lake, which is a part of Kerala’s fascinating backwaters.
The brain child of Thomas and Rosie, who are passionate about ideas of green and healthy living, they envisioned a home where they could live with all the comforts but with ecological considerations. Respecting natural resources, learning from local traditions, Thomas built the Villa using recycled building materials. The design of the villa is a contemporary interpretation of typical Kerala architecture with three bedrooms and a living room. Harvesting rain water, growing organic fruits and vegetables in the garden and making intelligent lifestyle choices, a holiday here is for everyone. While lounging by the dazzling pool at the villa, one can see how life thrives around the intertwined waterways where the natives live so comfortably with their natural surroundings. Life here has a pace of its own dictated by nothing else but the rising of the sun and the setting of the same. The Caretaker at the property helps make sure your stay is very comfortable and the cook is always looking out to satisfy your taste buds.
