StayWell Holdings, one of Asia Pacific’s largest hotel management groups, has announced the opening of the Park Regis Aveda hotel in Kumarakom.

Located on Kerala’s fabled Malabar Coast, Kumarakom is in an international tourism hub. The region is famous for its palm-lined beaches and backwaters, as well as the spice and tea-covered hills of the Western Ghats.

The 44-room hotel marks several milestones for StayWell Holdings. Park Regis Aveda offers private cottages, villas, suites, open poolside restaurant-cum-lounge, Ayurvedic spa and a well-equipped fitness centre, banquet hall, business centre and recreational area.

Simon Wan, president and director, StayWell Holdings, said: “Park Regis Aveda, Kumarakom is a great addition to the StayWell portfolio with its prime location offering an experiential stay for guests.
