Candlelight dinner in Kerala at Fragrant Nature

Fragrant Nature has private candlelit dinners available at its three locations: Munnar, Kochi, and Kollam. Candles and fresh flowers are set on the table, and dinner is served from a menu agreed with guests before the evening. The settings vary by property: a misty hillside in Munnar, a heritage building in Fort Kochi, and a lakeside in Kollam. Know the Fragrant Nature properties that offer candlelight dinners, the things to sort out in advance of your trip to Kerala, and how to book a candlelight dinner in Kerala without having to go through a ton of messages.

Munnar: Hills, glass and cold air


Fragrant Nature Munnar offers a private table in front of the mountains or under the sky. The menu is served in courses: starters, a main course that combines Indian and continental cuisine, and dessert. The guest menu is edited to suit dietary needs and the event.

Bring a warm layer, as dinner time in the mountains can be cold. The resort has The Glass House grill restaurant with glass walls and a glass roof, with views of the sky and mountains, and the all-day restaurant Black Truffle. Each provides a different dining area for guests who don’t want the candles. Fireplace rooms and the Wild Orchid Honeymoon Suite are offered at the resort.

Fort Kochi: The heritage area of Kochi


A candlelit dinner in Kochi held in the heritage hotel, Fragrant Nature Kochi hold the lighting low, candles lit, and flowers. There is a choice of shared or private spaces. The menu is flexible and goes with personal taste. The hotel offers restaurants serving Kerala cuisine, North Indian cuisine, and international cuisine, with seafood. Zamorin operates live cooking stations. The Bay View restaurant is on the roof, offering a view of the harbour lights.

Kollam: Lake, sunset and jetty

A candlelight dinner is hosted at Fragrant Nature Kollam, in the room or at Ritulhari, the lakeside venue with views of the sunset. The table is decorated with flowers and candles, and the candlelight glows as the sky turns soft. The menu is based on traditional Kerala cuisine, fresh seafood, and global cuisine. Staff provide privacy and attention for couples.

Honeymoons, anniversaries, and surprise proposals are the typical events mentioned. The resort jetty and the sunset boat ride are in the same location, so a boat trip and dinner can be done in one night.

For guests who want a table larger than two chairs, the private lakeside dining room, the family celebration package, and the birthday and anniversary packages are available with decor and a customised menu. The lake-view villas with private pool access and the Prana Spa are suited for a longer stay at the lake.

Before the evening


Send these details to reservations before arrival:
  • The property and the date
  • The number of guests and the occasion
  • Dietary limits, in plain words
  • The preferred hour, with the sunset in mind for Kollam
  • Any surprise, and who must not hear about it
  • The arrival time, so the table is set when the guests walk in

Which property fits


Munnar suits couples who want cold air, a view of the hills, and a fireplace room afterwards. Kochi is good for couples who wish to have the main attractions of Fort Kochi within walking distance in a heritage building. Kollam is ideal for couples who desire water and a sunset.

There’s a trade-off to every setting. Instead of the warmth, Munnar offers you a view. Kollam trades an easy road for the lake. When it comes to trade, Kochi offers a time-worn town on the doorstep. Choose the trade-off that disturbs the guests the least. The sunset moves from one time to another throughout the year; the Kollam dinner follows the light. Make reservations for the time that works best on the date, and inform the team if the guests are going out for a boat ride first.

Frequently Asked Questions


Does Fragrant Nature offer this dinner at all three properties?
Yes. Each of Munnar, Kochi, and Kollam arranges it.

When should the reservation be put in?
One is needed in advance for Kollam. Munnar advises it. In Kochi, they prepare the dinner as per order, so an early request gives the kitchen time to prepare the food.

Does the menu change for special diets?
Munnar prepares menus for people with dietary restrictions and event catering requirements. Kochi customises the menu based on preferences. Vegetarian meals are available at the Kollam property. Double-check the dinner menu when making reservations.

Is the table private?
Munnar and Kollam have private tables available. Kochi provides shared or private space; state the option you choose when booking.

Is it possible to arrange a proposal and/or an anniversary?
Kollam offers both. The dinner in Munnar is a memorable occasion, while in Kochi the dinner is created for memorable events. Communicate the plan to reservations ahead of time.

The setting comes second in choice. It is important that the reason comes first. The table is used for different purposes at different times. A quiet corner and a quiet team are required for a proposal. An anniversary requires an hour and a menu. Plan the event and choose the property that is appropriate for it.

For a candlelight dinner in Kerala, reservations can be made through Fragrant Nature’s central reservations, and the table is set at the respective property. The three destinations are spread across three terrains of Kerala: hills, old port, and backwaters. A single central reservations line serves all three.
