Fodor's Expert Review Ayisha Manzil
Court Rd., Thalassery, Kerala, 670101, India
A stay in this 1862 cliff-top spice-estate home may be the best way to experience what North Kerala is all about—people come for the gorgeous sea views and the food, whipped up by TV host and chef Faiza Moosa, who's famous for her traditional Mopla (Kerala Muslim) dishes. Meals are served on the front terrace, overlooking the sea. Rooms are palatial, with high wood-beam ceilings and antique teak and rosewood furnishings. One of the possible high points of your stay: a visit to the nearby fish market, organized by your hosts.
Book a year in advance, as the rooms fill up quickly.
