Raheem Residency at Alleppey beach

“Raheem Residency has been painstakingly converted into a very intimate experience..... This is proper understated luxury, right at the gateway to Kerala’s wonderfully lush backwater.”
:: Sunday Times, July 2006

“Indian Bungalow in the grand style with antique furnishings and a great pool.”
:: The Guardian, November 2005

“A youngster oiled me up and made short of my head and shoulders, pounding and drumming till I felt like a mridangam at the end of the music season. But a warm bath, and I felt ten years younger and ready to take on the world.”
:: Indian Express, November 2005

“Built in 1868, the Portuguese mansion Raheem Residency is Kerala's latest boutique address, and now the perfect excuse to stop in Alleppey. Owned and run by Ayurvedic enthusiast Bibi Baskin, while the hotel doesn't advertise itself as being suited for Ayurveda, being quiet and shady with a liver-shaped pool, extensive library, great roof top restaurant overlooking the beach and only minutes from the quaint village of Alleppey, it is perfect for chill out days sampling treatments from the ancient health science.”
:: Asia Spa Magazine, July/August 2005

"Raheem Residency… the best hotel in Alleppey...an easy going place with unique atmosphere, friendly people; a clean and beautiful place with the view of Sea."
:: Correio Braziliense August 2005

“Imagine warm sand kissed by the Arabian Sea; colourful markets vending the vibrant aromas of a thousand spices…..At Alleppey Beach you will find a serene and lovely restored heritage home: a haven for the body, mind and taste buds.”
:: Food and Wine, May 2005

"If you are looking for the quaint with the classical, Raheem Residency in Alleppey is just the place."
:: India Today Plus, 2004

"The grandeur and beauty of the heritage home, Raheem Residency, has been lovingly restored to its original splendour by its new owners."
:: Inside Outside, 2004

"This 19th century colonial house is set above the beach south of Cochin. Inside, it's all gleaming tiles, arched windows and ornate four-poster beds, with six rooms in the main house and two in the old coconut storehouse in the courtyard. The Indo-Irish owners offer special rates for writers so, if you've always dreamed of penning that blockbuster, now's your chance."
:: Elle (U.K), 2004

"With a bit of history displayed on one corner and a flash of philosophy or a touch of romance tucked in another, it is an ideal destination for the independent discerning traveller or honeymoon couple who demands absolute cleanliness and personalised treatment in an aesthetically designed private space."
