Staycation Ideas·About an hour from Kozhikode

You don't need a long trip to feel like you've been away. A staycation is a break close to home, and from Kozhikode, Malappuram or Kannur, the hills above Thamarassery are about an hour's drive. Here are seven staycation ideas you can do at Naz's Farm House, a private villa where your group has the whole place.

1. A slow family weekend

Up to 8 guests · two bedrooms + loft

Drive up Saturday morning, cook together, let the kids run on the lawn and finish the day on the terrace as the sun goes down behind the hills. Two bedrooms and The Majlis loft mean grandparents, parents and kids all fit, and nobody shares the house with strangers.

2. A couples' break

Quiet · no other guests

Misty mornings, coffee on the terrace, rain on the roof in the monsoon. With the whole villa to yourselves it's private in a way a hotel room isn't. Guests often tell us one night isn't enough, so a weekday two-night stay is worth considering.

3. A birthday sleepover

The Majlis loft sleeps a crowd on the floor

Music, carrom, karaoke and a floor sleepover in The Majlis loft. Bring a cake and decorations and make a night of it. Our family gatherings and birthdays guide has more ideas.

4. A team day out

Mon–Thu · 11 AM–9 PM · up to 15 people

Take the team out of the office for a day in the hills: games, the garden, lunch brought in from town. On weekdays you can book the whole property for the day, 11 AM to 9 PM, for up to 15 people. Details are on our Events page.

5. A BBQ night with friends

Arranged for an extra charge

A BBQ evening on the terrace, with the hills going dark around you and nowhere to drive afterwards. It can be arranged for an extra charge; see our kitchen and BBQ nights page.

6. A long-weekend reset

Holiday weekends book out first

Use a long weekend to switch off properly: a waterfall morning at Amarad or Thusharagiri, an afternoon nap, an evening on the terrace. Our long-weekend guides, like the 27–29 November weekend, list the dates worth planning around.

7. A day at the beach, a night in the hills

Kozhikode Beach ~36 km

Spend the afternoon in Kozhikode for the beach and a Malabar lunch, then drive up to sleep somewhere cool and quiet. Our Kozhikode beaches guide picks the best ones.
