Scarsdale Boutique Spa

Scarsdale Boutique Spa is a Heritage Resort, set in a 143 years old Tharavadu at Teekoy, with interiors enriched with teakwood and black stone to preserve the atmosphere of days gone by, yet with modern comforts integrated.

Kerala, the word immediately brings to mind images of green paddy fields, coconut trees swaying in the breeze, and the famous Kerala backwaters. There is, however, another side of God’s own country, little known, but just as beautiful. The rolling hills of Kerala are beautiful and serene, often covered with the green carpets of tea plantations. Very few Kerala hill stations have been discovered by the tourists, thus ensuring that the rest of the ranges remain untouched commercially.

Teekoy is a typical Kerala village, which is a mixture of both midland countryside and the Malanad hill area, enveloped in greenery with a clean and unpolluted atmosphere, at about three thousand feet above the sea level. This place is known for its agriculture and landscape.

Here most of the people are farmers and they cultivate rubber, elachi, ginger, cardamom, clove, nutmeg, turmeric, pepper, cashew and other spices. Considerable variety of medicinal plants also grow here which have been used in making the traditional home remedies.

Teekoy's climate has a heavy rain season and mild summer, with hills in the backdrop it never gets very hot, and the climate tends towards windy and cool.

There are trekking trails in and around Teekoy. One is the Marmala waterfall in the Meenachil river where water cascades down from the hill over a rocky slope. Another trekking route is the Teekoy-Cherippad-Ayyampara. Ayyampara has a huge rock formation whose top is a flat expanse running into hundreds of acres. The nearby Illickan mountain rises steeply to a height of more than three thousand feet, from its top with views extending up to 75 kilometres to the Alleppey port on a clear night.
