The villa
Made for slow days at home
Two bedrooms with double beds, a sofa bed in the living room, two bathrooms and a kitchen you are welcome to cook in. Everything is on the ground floor, with its own entrance.
The setting
Beside the Kabini
Skylark Home sits just north of the Kabini, the river that runs through the heart of Wayanad, among coconut palms and village homes.
Garden and evenings
Evenings under the lights
The house sits in a garden of fruit trees and stepping-stone paths, with a swing for the children. When it gets dark, strings of lights come on over the sit-out and the covered dining area. Bring dinner outside, or light the barbecue.
Around Wayanad

Your hosts
Hotel hospitality, brought home
Skylark Home belongs to a Mananthavady family. Our son has worked with the Hilton group of hotels since 2018, which is where his love of hospitality began, and opening a place of our own was always the dream.
His father welcomes every guest in person. We want you to feel at home from the moment you arrive, and to leave knowing our town a little better.
