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.

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.
