WHAT MAKES IT SPECIAL

In the most lovable Lovedale, a quiet little neighbourhood of Ooty, lies the hideaway vacation home of one of South India’s most iconic film stars, V Mohanlal. For years, it has been a completely private retreat for him and his family, and very close friends. Today, Mohanlal opens his heart and his beautiful home to welcome you to share in the experience of his life’s journey as an actor and indulge in his passion for food, arts and nature. Stay in this luxurious and beautifully furnished 3-bedroom home that pays tribute to his rich legacy of films in the memorabilia and art that adorn its walls.

​

Celebrate togetherness with your family or friends and create lasting memories much like your host did; in the family room, playing board games while warming by the fire or in the quirkily named Gun House, enjoying a drink or two with close friends. During the day, stretch out with a book in the beautiful garden outside, surrounded by colourful flowers and be serenaded by the chirping of birds nesting in the dense ivy.

​

Ooty’s attractions are only a 15-minute drive away. But why bother when you can enjoy outdoor barbecues and lip-smacking Kerala cuisine prepared by Mohanlal’s chef, whose food is the real hero of Hideaway!

Step through the ivy archway into this enormous open house and admire the memorabilia from his long body of work.
