Five rooms and a quiet garden, ten minutes from the boats that take you into one of India’s largest mangrove forests.

A small place, run by one family, at the edge of a very big forest.
Wellmark sits on the Vedai road at Jambuvanodai, Muthupet — spelt Muthupettai on many signs and maps — ten minutes from the boat house where the boats leave for the lagoon. Guests come for the mangroves and the birds, for the Darga, or simply for a weekend where nothing is in a hurry.
You’ll be dealing with us directly — the people who live here — from the moment you send a request to the morning you leave.
