The Leela Unveils New Private Residence: The Raviz Palace

The Leela Ashtamudi, A Raviz Hotel, proudly unveils its newest luxury retreat, The Raviz Palace - a meticulously restored heritage masterpiece that adds a new dimension to Kerala’s rich travel experience. Nestled on the tranquil shores of Lake Ashtamudi, this architectural marvel offers a seamless blend of history, culture, and modern luxury. 

Originally built in 1911, the palace beautifully combines Kerala’s traditional roots with Dutch and Portuguese influences, from intricate wooden interiors to its harmonious design embedded in the traditional Hindu architectural practice, Vastu Shastra.

The Raviz Palace comprises 1 suite with an adjoining room and 2 additional bedrooms, bookable for groups of up to 8 guests. The Royal Dining Room can host up to 16 guests, and the Palace has its own kitchen offering a curated menu of local cuisine. Included in the booking is multiple cultural experiences and excursions, including: 

• 30 minute sunset cruise
• Sunset High Tea in the courtyard
• Dedicated butler service
• Breakfast on the Padmavathy Suite Terrace
• Exclusive Pearl Spot Fish Farming (to come) 

Dr. B Ravi Pillai, Chairman, RP Group, shared his thoughts on the unveiling, “Our vision for The Raviz Palace – Ashtamudi has always been to honour and preserve Kerala’s rich heritage. Every detail reflects the cultural legacy it represents. By introducing unique experiences, we offer our guests a profound connection to the region’s traditions and natural bounty.
