Actor Mohanlal opened up his Ooty home for tourists and fans to experience a day living like him. Listed on Luxunlock is a 3-bedroom villa with numerous amenities, including a personal chef.

Named Hideaway, the villa was Mohanlal's family retreat for more than a decade.

About the Hideaway

The website describes Mohanlal's vacation villa as: "Built more than a decade ago, Hideaway was a family retreat while the children were studying in Ooty; a place to reunite and bond during weekends, surrounded by nature. With time, it has grown into a house that reflects their passions. Fitting for its name, Hideaway now stands as a celebrity's sanctuary, where he can keep his privacy and enjoy time with his friends and family."

Inside Mohanlal's Ooty villa

Situated in Lovedale, Ooty, Hideaway is a 3-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom villa that was a private retreat for Mohanlal, his wife, Suchitra, and their children, Pranav and Vismaya. It's listed on the website for ₹37,000 per night.

Fans can choose to either stay in 'Lal's bedroom' or his children's rooms at the villa. A chef who has been with the family for over 25 years whips up Mohanlal's family's traditional Kerala recipes, while a concierge service ensures a good stay.

Hideaway has a garden with seasonal flowers where guests can have a BBQ, a family room with 300 Mohanlal caricatures and a gun house with replica guns he used for Marakkar: Lion of the Arabian Sea and Barroz 3D. What's more, the website even shares that leopards are often found in the woods near the villa!

Recent work

This year, Mohanlal bounced back from a disappointing 2024 with L2 Empuraan and Thudarum. Both films were not only received well but also set new records for Malayalam cinema. He will soon star in a yet-to-be-titled film with Mammootty and Fahadh Faasil, apart from Hridayapoorvam and Vrusshabha. He will also play a cameo in Vishnu Manchu's Kannappa.
