Kerala Backwater Villas sits right on the edge of Punnamada Lake, where the famous Nehru Trophy snake-boat race is held each August. Traditional Kerala-style villas with sloping tiled roofs and teak interiors look out over still water, swaying coconut palms and passing country boats.
Mornings bring birdsong and canoe rides through narrow village canals; evenings are for sunset on the lake, karimeen pollichathu fresh from the water and a soothing Ayurvedic massage at the in-house centre.

Watching the sunset over the lake from our verandah was unforgettable. The morning canoe ride through the village canals was the best part of our Kerala trip.
Spacious villas with authentic Kerala character and delicious seafood. Wi-Fi is patchy in places, but honestly that helped us switch off.
