Our Story
A lakeside family dream turned into a destination
A Lakeside Dream That Became a Destination
Welcome to Malankara Palace Lake View Resort & Spa – a premium lakeside retreat created on the peaceful banks of the Malankara Reservoir. Surrounded by open water, green landscapes, and gentle hill views, the resort brings together scenic beauty, refined comfort, and warm hospitality in one setting.
Located near Thodupuzha and within easy reach of Vagamon and Kochi International Airport, the property serves as a calm gateway to explore Idukki while enjoying a relaxed, luxury stay by the lake.
The Story Behind the Place
This land was once the beloved family home of Mr. Innacent Kuzhippilli & Mrs. Sigimol Innacent. Long before it welcomed guests, it was where they built a life with their children – waking up to lake breezes, spending quiet mornings by the water, enjoying evening sunsets, and gathering together under starlit skies.
Fishing trips at dawn, barbecue nights with laughter, peaceful walks by the lake, and simple conversations at sunset filled their days. The house was not grand, but it was rich in warmth and meaning. Every corner held memories, and every season brought its own quiet joy.
Over time, a gentle thought took shape — what if this place could offer the same peace and happiness to others? What if families, couples, and travellers could experience the calm that had meant so much to them?
From Home to Destination
With care, patience, and respect for the land, the family slowly transformed their cherished home into a welcoming lakeside retreat. What was once a simple four-bedroom house evolved into a thoughtfully designed resort, while preserving the soul of the place — openness, calm, and connection to nature.
Every room, balcony, and shared space was created to reflect the same feeling the family once enjoyed — comfort without rush, beauty without excess, and luxury that feels warm rather than formal. Today, the resort stands as a continuation of that story — not a replacement of the past, but an extension of it.
More than a place to stay, Malankara Palace is a place to feel at ease. Whether you arrive for a quiet holiday, a family gathering, a celebration, or a special milestone, you are welcomed with the same warmth that once filled this home.
We invite you to slow down, breathe deeply, and create your own memories by the lake.
