About Heyday
Five resorts, one idea.
Quiet places across Kerala, properly kept. A villa in the hills, a cottage in the valley, a whole mountain house, a planter's bungalow on the estate, and a room by the sea.
Our story
We started with one house, and kept the idea small.
Five private resorts across Kerala. A villa above the Vagamon tea gardens, cottages and a whole mountain house in Panchalimedu, a 1930s planter's bungalow near Thenmala, and a one-bedroom that opens onto the beach at Veli.
Heyday began in 2014 with a single villa above the Vagamon tea gardens. The idea was simple: a place you could have to yourself, looked after by someone who actually lives there. It worked, so we did it four more times, in three more parts of Kerala.
Book directly with us, or through Booking.com and Airbnb. We still keep them small on purpose.
What we believe
Quiet, properly kept.
Small on purpose
Five resorts, not forty. Each one stays small enough that the caretaker knows your name by the second morning.
Whole-property privacy
Four of the five are yours alone. No lobby, no neighbours, no sharing the pool with strangers.
Kept by hand
Real people live on each property and look after it. Breakfast is cooked, not plated from a buffet.
Quiet over loud
We choose the road less driven: Vagamon over Munnar, Panchalimedu over the crowd, a planter's estate over a hotel.
