| The Elephant Court is located close to the Thekkady
forests, about a kilometer from Kumali in the Southern Indian state of
Kerala. The Thekkadi forests are home, both, to the Periyar Wildlife
Sanctuary and to the Asiatic Elephant. The Periyar Wildlife Sanctuary is
one of the best tropical wildlife sanctuaries in the world and is the
repository of rare endemic flora and fauna. |

The Elephant Court is an understated, elegant
hospitality experience, both, for business and recreation. A pair of
impassive, miniature elephants watch, as demure sari clad hostesses
greet guests with jasmine garlands. The Elephant Court being the first
in the chain of Resorts and Hotels. |
| Elephant Court is situated on four acres, over a
landscaped hillock. The architecture establishes the cultural identity
of the property and is a marriage of traditional design and responses to
contemporary demands. It explores the relationship between the
environment and individuals. The extensive use of teak all around keeps
the spaces cool and one’s senses are calmed by the connection with
nature that wood provides. Subtle definitions of space provide a serene,
yet dynamic environment. |

 |
The dominant color theme in all the living spaces at
the Elephant Court is composed of earthy hues of brown and pale green
set off by crisp cotton sheets and pillows. The furnishing in cane and
wood and jute subtly emphasize the connection with nature prevalent all
over the property. |

within spaces. The executive enclaves at the Elephant Court enable
business travelers to luxuriate in the comfort of a resort and conduct
business as well. Separate work and living areas enable guests to deal
effectively with the dynamics of work and, sometimes, to get away from
it all. The suites are all equipped with the state of the art in
communicative facilities.
Garden Suites: The suites are all provided with a secluded garden. Step
out of the suite, into a verandah and a charming garden with a fish-
pond lies ahead. It can be a magical experience, watching the rain come
down during the monsoon. All the garden suites are equipped with a
Jacuzzi. |
Pool Studio: Your own private pool in your living
room, this accurately defines the concept of a pool studio. Through the
day soft diffused light filters into the room casting dappled shadows on
the walls. The water spreads its aura. This is an intimate space full of
possibilities.
Honeymoon Suites: The suite brings to life associations with
unrestrained passion. Here, discover the joys and solace of intimacy. A
glass walled Jacuzzi, lit from above during the day with a frosted
skylight, looks into the bedroom. Just go ahead and expand your
frontiers of pleasure.
Family Enclave: Here, are spaces where families, large and small can
spend time together and find privacy should they so desire. There’s
space for the kids to play as well. |
