Coconut Lagoon
Arrival at Coconut Lagoon is by boat across a short stretch of water, which sets the tone. The resort's buildings are traditional Kerala tharavad houses, some more than a century old, which were taken apart elsewhere in the state and reassembled here among coconut palms and canals. Heritage bungalows have open-air bathrooms, and pool villas offer more privacy.
The grounds include a butterfly garden, paddy fields, and a small herd of the rare native Vechur cattle. An Ayurveda centre offers treatments and short programmes. The restaurant serves Kerala food, including karimeen from the lake, and evenings often include traditional music or dance. Coconut Lagoon is also an easy place to start a private houseboat.
