Room With a View (For Everyone): A Guide to Choosing Your Space at Fifth Estate

The insider’s guide to picking the perfect room—once you’ve booked the entire villa.

Quote boxes – Please feel free to place this accordingly

At Fifth Estate, you don’t book a room. You book the entire villa. Five bedrooms. Five distinct personalities. One handcrafted home in Vagamon, Kerala, designed to host small groups in big ways.

Whether you’re planning a family reunion, a couples’ weekend or a long-overdue getaway with friends, this villa was built to bring people together—with just enough space to drift apart when needed.

And once everyone’s here and the bags are dropped, there’s one unspoken moment in every group:

So… who gets which room?

Here’s your inside guide to how it usually plays out—and how to pick what works best for each personality in your crew.

🛁 Summit—The Main Character Room

Summit isn’t just the master suite—it’s the room that feels like a reward. With a jacuzzi corner framed by tropical plants and a stone-walled open-sky bath, it’s perfect for the person who needs deep rest, real space and maybe a touch of ceremony.

• View: Hills, the MMJ estate and full sky
• Features: Tub, jacuzzi, deck access, quiet mornings
• Mood: Elegant, grounded, built for slow rituals
• Best for: The planner. The couple who needed this trip. The one who packed a robe and herbal salts.

Room call status: Always the first to be claimed. Deservedly.

🌿 Fern—The Nature-Noticer

Fern is surrounded by green, both inside and out. If someone in your group has a habit of quietly disappearing for a walk or watering someone else’s plants, this room will feel like home. There’s light, there’s stillness and there’s a cinnamon tree outside the window.

• View: Tea plantations, inner garden edge
• Features: Soft textures, garden energy, earthy color palette
• Mood: Calm, textural, intentionally under-decorated
• Best for: The plant parent. The slow reader. The friend who always knows where the good tea is.

Room call status: Claimed quietly. Rarely given up.

🪟 Grove—The Light Chaser

Grove feels like a room designed by someone who understands how important morning light is. It has corner windows that let in the day, not just the view. If your friend group has a designer, a photographer or someone who needs a perfect chair-to-window setup, this is their spot.

• View: Rolling tea fields, soft sky
• Features: Glass-wrapped corner, framed light
• Mood: Bright, quiet, optimistic
• Best for: The playlist curator. The one with the best Instagram stories.

Room call status: Overlooked until someone walks in—and never walks out.

🪨 Boulder—The Quiet Philosopher

Tucked into the slopes of the land, Boulder is all about texture and stillness. Its black stone walls hold the kind of silence that’s rare. And the hanging bed? It’s not a gimmick—it’s a mood.

• View: Fields, filtered sky
• Features: All-stone interior, natural coolness, total privacy
• Mood: Monastic, minimalist, deeply restful
• Best for: The sleeper. The thinker. The one who brought a hardcover book and actually reads it.

Room call status: Claimed late. Leaves a lasting impression.

🧘 Drift—The Gentle Recluse

Drift is slightly removed from the main house—a soft, lower-level room with its own private patio. If someone in your group values presence over noise and prefers re-entering the group on their own terms, this is where they’ll recharge.

• View: Patio garden, soft light
• Features: Intimate layout, terrace corner, subtle quiet
• Mood: Introspective, low-key, comforting
• Best for: The listener. The artist. The one who needs to nap between meals.

Room call status: The introvert’s win. The extrovert’s envy.

So, Who Gets What?

We’ve seen every kind of room assignment strategy:

• The birthday person takes Summit
• Grove goes to the one with the camera
• Drift is for whoever brought a book
• Boulder ends up with the person who disappears at dusk
• Fern? That always goes to the one who makes the first round of tea

“We didn’t assign rooms. We matched them like people.”

A Group Villa That Feels Personal

Fifth Estate is a group villa in Vagamon that was built to welcome clusters of people—not as guests, but as gatherers. From its shared deck and fireplace to a kitchen made for cooking together and a jeep for spontaneous drives, the villa makes room for how groups actually live.

Every bedroom is designed to feel distinct—different moods, different views, the same sense of presence.

Everyone Gets a View. The Rest Is Personality.

So, before you arrive, take a look. Think about your group. Think about how you live when you’re together. Then let each person pick their corner—and see what unfolds.
