Queen sized beds
Teak frames, panelled headboards, white cotton. The floors are polished cream tile, cool underfoot, and the ceilings are lined in teak plank.
A relaxing retreat along the backwaters of Kallada.
Find your rhythm, find your OLAM 🌸
Welcome
Welcome to Olam by Plasseril
A little home tucked away in the quiet beauty of Munroe Island, where the days move a little slower, the evenings feel a little softer and nature is never too far away.
At Olam, we’ve tried to create more than just a place to stay — a space that feels warm, unhurried and homely.
The rooms
Teak, white linen, and a window full of green
A wall of windows
Rooms open onto a corner run of teak casement windows. Air conditioning, a personal TV, a cane stool, a snake plant in a terracotta pot. Nothing more than you need.
Doors onto the balcony
Some rooms have full-height glazed doors that open straight onto the upper verandah — you can step out with your morning tea and stand under the teak soffit.
Areca and coconut
Every window blows out to green. Areca and coconut palms press right up to the glass, so the light inside stays warm and the view stays wild.
Ensuite bathrooms
A frameless glass shower screen, beige onyx-look tile, a basin and a wide mirror. Hot water round the clock, and toiletries left out for you.
Common spaces
The parts of the house that belong to everyone
A living room, a dining area, an open kitchen counter and a verandah that runs the length of the house. The garden and the common balcony are yours to use.

Munroe Island
Where the Kallada meets Ashtamudi
Munroe Island — Mundrothuruthu — is a cluster of small islands in Kollam district, where the Kallada River runs out into Ashtamudi Lake.
The headline thing to do here is the canoe canal tour: two to three hours in a small country boat, through canals barely wider than the boat itself. It is best at sunrise or late afternoon, and the boats carry around six people. Kayaking is possible too, in small groups.
We’ll help you arrange it. We don’t sell packages — we just know who to call.
- On the waterCoir retting and weaving, traditional fishing, prawn and fish farming, boat building, sand mining — all of it happening at the edge of the canal as you pass.
- BirdlifeMigratory and backwater birds. Kingfishers and herons are the ones you’ll notice first.
- Kallada Boat RaceThe famous snake-boat race is held here during the ten-day Onam festival season.
Photograph to come
We don’t have a picture of the canals yet. Rather than show you something else and call it the backwaters, we’ve left the frame empty.
