With an extended Independence Day weekend coming up, make plans to honour India’s history while enjoying some downtime. Take some time out to explore India’s vast cultural and geographic variety up close and personal and to feel proud of our country’s accomplishments. The largest exhibition of the world’s countless cultural ideas, each with its own customs, traditions, language, and cuisine, can be found in India. And we don’t even need visas to travel to explore and enjoy this mind-blowing legacy-literally it’s only a short drive or flight away! Celebrate India this year by travelling to one of these locations for a glimpse into some seductive, some ancient, and some eclectic cultural and natural history while you indulge yourself, soak up traditional hospitality, and have a well-earned, mindfully opulent vacation.
Check in at these beautiful properties to savour the best of India:
Visalam, Kanadukathan, Tamil Nadu
Explore 19th century Chettiar way of life with this exquisite 15-roomed heritage-boutique property in the Chettinad village of Kanadukathan.
Visalam is a 100-year-old labour of love, a gift from a father to his eldest daughter - a progressive and rare occurrence in those times. A veritable museum, Visalam is one of the finest examples of a typical Chettiar home, Burmese teak woodwork and ornate ceilings, chandeliers from Europe and the Far East, Belgian glasswork, Italian marble, and beautiful handmade tiles, as well as a beautiful heritage pool, all lay testament to the travels, explorations, global design and aesthetic sensibilities of the otherwise traditional Chettinadu traders.
