The
River Retreat
Thrissur, Code No-AT-KR23.
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.
