The River Retreat

A luxurious 3 star Ayurvedic Resort, we, at The River Retreat, offer a chance to explore the calm and serene environment of the God's own country-kerala. The former summer palace of the Maharajas of Cochin, The River Retreat, is now a favorite destination of thousands of tourist and anyone who wishes to stay close to the nature and experience it's rejuvenating effect on their tired bodies and frayed nerves.
The imposing structure of this heritage resort is majestic and kingly and not without reason. It  was  the summer palace of the   Maharajahs  of  Cochin  now  catering to our nostalgia.  The  people  who  conceived  the modification    of   this  palace  have thankfully and thoughtfully   managed  to  retain its old royal glory. The  Padipura  or   the  main  gate  is  still  there to  welcome   you.  Steeped  in history, there  are only few living palaces in  Kerala   where  one  has  free  access.   River   Retreat  offers  you  all modern day amenities without compromising on the ancient rich cultural heritage. 

Have you ever watched the  Nila flow? Take a walk along its banks and one thing you will notice that she is in no hurry. She flows quietly, contently, mocking at us mortals  who  are  always  in a spin. Once in a while it is necessary for all of us to think, recollect and just  relax  in   peaceful settings where every passing minute is not  a  burden  of   deadlines  to  be  met  but  a  fleeting moment in our life to be treasured. The scenic landscape was always there  all that was needed was to fill it  with  elements  that  would  blend  and   not  stand out. That is what The River Retreat is all about. Come, Let us learn to celebrate life.
