From Family Roots to Hospitality
Padathil Stays carries a legacy built on family, hard work, nature and community. Our roots go back generations to agriculture and paddy cultivation, a connection that inspired the name Padathil.
In 2012, Nature Castle Vattavada became the first step in our hospitality journey. Today, we continue to grow with one simple purpose: to create stays that feel welcoming, peaceful and memorable.
Padathil Stays is led by Managing Director Mr. Biju James, with Ms. Jisha Biju, Mr. Williams B. Padam and Ms. Merin B. Padam.
