The Villa
A home built around water, light and quiet
Othayoth Villa was made slowly, the way the coast likes things. Natural materials, generous shade, and a pool at its heart.
Our story
A name this land has always carried
Othayoth is our family’s tharavad name. We are a prestigious, traditional Nair landed gentry (tharavad) deeply rooted in the socio-cultural and ritualistic heritage of North Malabar. Under the historical matrilineal (Marumakkathayam) system, we managed extensive ancestral estates across the Varam and Kadangode regions, serving as respected community administrators and village-level leaders. Our ancestral tharavadu stands right next to this villa, built in the 1950s, and the older family home, a kilometre up the road, dates back to the 1800s. We still gather there every year for our Theyyam ritual.
Design & atmosphere
Natural materials, unhurried spaces
Every room is designed to feel calm and cool, to hold the light gently and to open toward the green.
Teak, cane & linen
Honest materials that age beautifully and feel good to the touch.
Water at the centre
The pool and its reflections anchor the whole home.
Cool and cross-lit
High ceilings, deep verandas and shutters that catch the sea breeze.
Privacy & exclusivity
The whole villa, only ever yours
Othayoth is never shared. When you book, the entire home, garden and pool belong to your group alone. The property is gated and screened by planting, so the pool deck and veranda stay completely private.
- Sole use of the entire villa and grounds
- Gated entry with private, secure parking
- Pool and garden screened from every side
- Staff who help when needed and stay out of sight
