About the hotel

The villas are assembled from traditional homesteads dismantled from various villages in Kerala and painstakingly restored and relocated on this paradise resort. Equipped with open-roofed garden bathrooms leading directly to the pool, the interiors are adorned with beautiful mural paintings, ceramic tiled floors, mellow lighting and cosy beds. A 250-metre meandering pool snakes its way in and around the cottages offering direct access to your doorstep. The intimate jacuzzi enclosure provides a magical viewing spot of the lake and horizon,

We fell in love with the hotel as we entered it. We booked the duplex meandering villa which was absolutely beautifully. There were so many free activities for the children from pottery to weaving to fishing. The staff were really wonderful and did everything possible to make our stay trouble free. The kids were really nicely treated. I would recommend this place to anyone and will defenitely visit again...." KAVITHA MARAN, Surrey View All guest comments Review this hotel |

Dining | |
A traditional ambience created by reproducing typical Keralan architecture pervades this tranquil resort from the magnificent carved doors to the 200-year-old restaurant building. At the Ettukettu (eight-sided mansion) Restaurant, guests can indulge in their favourite international recipe or sample delicious native specialities including fresh fish dishes. This is also the venue for cultural events including Kathakali dance performances. For those who enjoy seafood, it’s worth visiting the grill by the lakeside. | "...The Kumarakom Lake Resort is PARADISE on earth. We fell in love with the hotel as we entered it.

Things to do | |
One of the best ways to discover Vembanad Lake is by taking a cruise in a motorized rice boat (kettuvallam) that is luxuriously furnished and fully equipped. Cruising around the lagoon is made easy as each motorized house-boat comes with a full crew. An exciting time to visit is between August and September during the seasonal water carnivals, which involve the traditional snake boat races of Kerala. These involve over 30 metre-long wooden water crafts with a hundred oarsmen. It is worth taking a day to explore the hills and tea plantations of Kerala. Inhale the aroma of cardamom while taking in the beauty of the verdant countryside. Within an hour of the resort are churches and temples that display some of the oldest architecture in the country. Examples include Thirunakkara Temple. | "...The Kumarakom Lake Resort is PARADISE on earth. We fell in love with the hotel as we entered it.
