A Luxurious Kerala New Year: From Backwaters to Hilltops at Fragrant Nature Resorts

As the cool breeze of winter settles over Kerala, the state transforms into a haven of celebration, serenity, and scenic charm. Nowhere is this festive magic felt more vividly than at Fragrant Nature Resorts, where the New Year is welcomed with refined elegance, gourmet experiences, and breath-taking surroundings. Blending the tranquillity of the backwaters with the crisp charm of the mountains, the resorts in Kollam and Munnar offer two stunning yet contrasting worlds—each perfect for a memorable New Year's getaway.

A Serene Backwater Celebration at Fragrant Nature Kollam


At Fragrant Nature Kollam, the celebrations unfold against the shimmering expanse of the backwaters.

The night comes alive with elegant gala dinners, featuring curated menus crafted by expert chefs, live music, and performances that elevate the festive spirit. The warm glow of sunset fading over the lake sets the tone for an enchanting evening where laughter, fine dining, and celebration come together seamlessly. For those who wish to begin the new year embraced by nature’s calm, Kollam offers a gentle yet glamorous escape.

A Magical Hilltop New Year in Munnar


Meanwhile, high in the hills, Fragrant Nature Munnar offers a completely different yet equally enchanting New Year experience. Here, guests wake up to mist-covered tea gardens, crisp mountain air, and views that stretch endlessly across rolling green valleys. The festive night in Munnar is defined by its misty charm, grand hilltop celebrations, cosy bonfires, and the comforting warmth of winter beverages. Whether it’s a gala dinner with panoramic views or simply unwinding in a room with a fireplace, the mountain retreat promises a magical setting to ring in the new year. Winter in Munnar is also the perfect time to indulge in its rich tea and coffee culture, where guests can savour estate-fresh brews, explore plantation trails, and enjoy quiet moments overlooking the hills with a hot cup in hand.

Two Experiences, One Unforgettable New Year


Together, the two destinations offer a stunning contrast—backwaters and hilltops, warmth and chill, luxury and nature—making Fragrant Nature Resorts a versatile paradise for travellers seeking the perfect year-end escape. Whether you prefer the romantic serenity of Kollam’s waters or the refreshing coolness of Munnar’s peaks, both properties ensure world-class amenities, gourmet celebrations, and unforgettable experiences.
