Aesthetically developed on the shores of the Vembanad Lake, Kumarakom Lake Resort has been bestowed The Heritage Resort status. The property has been exquisitely landscaped with numerous canals meandering in and around the 22 cottages reconstructed over the 10 acres of picturesque greenery overlooking the stretch of the lake. Each cottage pertains to traditional style of the illams (homesteads) and have a legacy. The cottages have been painstakingly plucked from various villages in Kerala and transplanted. Guests can explore the backwaters on transformed kettuvallams (traditional rice boats converted to cozy houseboats) even spending a whole night on the lake.
Coconut Lagoon
Rated as one of the top 15 beautiful spots in the world by the National Geographic, the coconut lagoon resort is hidden amongst the palm trees on the eastern shores of Lake Vembanad in Kerala.The resort can only be reached by Boat- a ferry leaves from one of the several mainland embarkation points at scheduled times throughout the day- and its accommodation consists of individual cottages called tharawads, the traditional wooden houses of Kerala.
Though some of these cottage are of recent vintage, many are well over a century old and a few actually date back to the early 1700s. We also suggest that you take a look at the newly built villas with private plunge pools.
Taj Garden Retreat
Azure backwaters, swaying palms, and floating houseboats. These are a few of the things that inspired English Missionary Henry Baker, in the late 19th century, to acquire land on the banks of Vembanad Lake. Today, it is known as the Taj Garden Retreat, Kumarakom. Often referred to as the little jewel of Kumarakom, it still maintains the beauty of its rustic surroundings. The 123-year-old colonial bungalow houses newly built Luxury Villas, heritage rooms, charming cottages, and quaint houseboats, anchored in the private lagoon.
At this idyllic retreat, guests can look forward to practicing the Art of doing Nothing or keeping themselves busy with a variety of experiences, from nature to adventure, from culture to cuisine, and from rejuvenation to religion.
