Blanket Riverside Resort & Spa
Beneath the mist, there is a story etched in soil
The story
The land remembers the Kannan Devan plantations of the late 1800s and a family cardamom estate that came after. In 2011 it became Blanket Riverside — a resort where every balcony faces the Muthirapuzha river, breakfast can float in a private pool, and a bamboo boat still makes the old Kadathu crossing.
Every room faces the river
