Nestled in the quiet village of Villooni, in Kerala’s Arpookarapanchayat, Stay Samara is more than just a boutique villa—it’s a heartfelt legacy.
The story begins over 30 years ago when the Late ThampiPodipara, a respected philanthropist and humanitarian, built this home as a place of grounding and purpose. His vision of simplicity and community spirit still lingers in every corner. His wife, Alice Thampi, continued nurturing that vision by cultivating the lush surroundings—planting every tree, creating the serene lotus pond, and designing the garden paths that now welcome each guest.
Today, their son Jacob has taken that legacy forward. With a deep sense of connection to the land and his roots, Jacob has reimagined the family home into Stay Samara—a boutique villa and intimate event space that blends warmth, tradition, and the soothing rhythms of nature. With the loving support of his wife, Maria Jose, and his mother Alice, the family has created a space where guests can unwind, reconnect, and celebrate life’s most meaningful moments.
The name Samara is a reflection of what this space stands for. It means peace and protection, and is also the name of Jacob’s young daughter. Her presence inspired this transformation, symbolizing a new generation of hope, hospitality, and heart. Much like her name, Stay Samara is a sanctuary—where guests are cared for like family, and memories are made against the backdrop of swaying trees, blooming lotuses, and timeless Kerala charm.
