Kumarakom Lake Resort
Kumarakom Lake Resort stretches along the eastern shore of Vembanad Lake. Its heritage villas are built in traditional Kerala style using old wooden elements, with open-air bathrooms, while its pool villas sit beside a long, winding swimming pool that meanders through the grounds like a backwater canal. Lake-facing rooms watch the sun set across the water.
The resort has an Ayurveda centre with doctors and therapists for short programmes, several restaurants including a lakeside one, and a private jetty from which it runs its own houseboats. Cultural performances are held in the evenings. With its range of room types and facilities, it suits both couples and families.
Why we book it
