Our Story

Enjoy The Home Stay Quality & Best Hospitality

At Pumpkin Retreats, we bring over 50 years of experience in the hospitality industry, passed down through generations in our hotelier family. Rooted in the vibrant culture and warm traditions of Onattukara, we know the true essence of hospitality and the spirit of celebration. Growing up amidst the unique blend of nature, festivals, and history that defines Onattukara, we have always cherished the joy of welcoming guests and sharing the beauty of our homeland.

Our homestay offers a truly personalized experience, giving you the opportunity to relax in total privacy and immerse yourself in the real Kerala. Whether it's lounging by the lake, enjoying the serenity of the beaches, or celebrating the local festivals like the famous Kuthirakettu, every moment at Pumpkin Retreats is designed to make you feel at home, yet far from ordinary.

Beyond our homestay, we also own Leela’s 7th Heaven, a luxury star hotel located in the small, picturesque village of Erickavu—a place known for
coir-making and fishing. Here, luxury meets tradition in a way that feels both exclusive and authentically local.

At Pumpkin Retreats, we take pride in offering you a truly intimate experience with a team that is as pleasant and welcoming as they are passionate about hospitality. Each member of our team is carefully selected to ensure you feel at home, no matter where you're from. Our mission is to give you the "real Kerala" at your fingertips, wrapped in comfort, luxury, and warmth.

We invite you to relax, celebrate, and discover the magic of Onattukara—where every guest is treated like family.
