THE RAVIZ: July 2011

The first seven star resort experience in India.

The First Seven Star Resort Experience in India

I have great pleasure in introducing you to The Raviz, India’s latest and most exclusive and idyllic luxury hotel and resort, nestled along the banks of Ashtamudi Lake, in Kollam, Kerala. The natural beauty of Kollam is to be seen to be believed. The location is simply stunning and an ideal luxury travel destination. The outstanding architecture and the remarkable use of local material makes it a most unusual and unique resort. This exclusive resort has only 94 luxurious and state of the art rooms for guests. It gives it an intimate feel that you will not find in any other resort in the region. The Raviz Kollam is one of a kind - a space infused with encounters and sentiments, immersed in the spirit of Kerala, imbued with culture and fully devoted to a genuine elegance. This new generation of a luxury hotel will open to discerning world travelers on 18 August, 2011, who want to experience all the intensity, all the authenticity of genuine Kerala hospitality during their stay. Spread over 5 acres of beautiful landscaped lush green gardens, the guestrooms are designed with subtle touches while incorporating the finest comforts of contemporary living include Tower Rooms, Lake View Rooms, Private Pool Villas, traditional Kerala Villas, a two bed house boat and the ultimate in luxury, the Royal Raviz State Room. A speed boat has been provided for water sports enthusiasts. Other facilities include a fine dining restaurant, a floating restaurant, a garden restaurant, an international convention centre. The resort specializes in grand destination weddings. The Raviz boasts a world class all-encompassing Ayurveda Spa, a destination in itself, focusing on the well-being of its guests by offering total rejuvenation and relaxation. Signature spa therapies have been devised to address guests’ increasing desire for simple, effective and authentic spa experiences. Developed in consultation with specialists in traditional Ayurvedic master therapists, each signature therapy consists of a relaxing, hands-on body massage ritual that combines the powerful effects of therapeutic benefits of custom-blended essential oils and herbs. The Raviz welcomes you to Kerala renowned for its legendary hospitality to experience its service and exquisite facilities, steeped in values arising from a unique history and the vibes of Kerala, in incredible India. A 270-meter old road paved with laterite stones along the lower level of the coast provides an interesting walkway for various activities. A boat jetty to bring the guest through the water way is in a bay along the walkway providing panoramic view of the lake. The highlight of two main structures is the viewing tower on both, from where we can get the grand panoramic view of the lake that surrounds the island, and the sunrise, sunset and the grandeur of the lake on moonlit nights. The Ayurvedic Spa is a heaven on the rooftop providing breathtaking view of the lake Ashtamudi, the Western Ghats and the landscape surrounding the property. It is certainly the best location to relax and enjoy the uninterrupted changing moods of the most acclaimed beautiful spot of Gods own country. The convention centre in the north block can accommodate more than thousand guests for wedding and there are two pre function areas to accommodate the hosting of parties and high tea. A convention centre to hold about 250 with sufficient pre-function area is available in the south block. The Roadside entry of the resort presents the most exquisite example of ethnic and authentic timber architecture of Travancore. The ceiling of the porch has the acclaimed ‘thirukazukol’ (radiating rafters) and a ‘Chandrawamada’, which is a very rare feature that has disappeared from today’s architectural context. The breezeway, which connects the porch and the lobby, is a faithful portrayal of the traditional roofing system of Travancore. A short stroll down the corridor brings you to the lobby, which is a three storey high spacious reception, and suddenly gives a surprise of the grand panorama of the Lake Ashtamudi. Pass through to the lakeside door and, the whole vista opens up beyond the lakes inviting waters.
