Overview: 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. Right on the bank of the lake is the swimming pool with a jacuzzi enclosure - a real magical viewing spot of the lake and horizon. Ayurmana, the 200 years old nalukettu (four sided mansion) provides ayurvedic care and yoga sessions. The fabulous ettukettu (eight sided mansion) restaurant serves some lipsmacking Native, Indian, Continental and Chinese gourmets. A fully equipped conference hall provides for corporate holiday meetings. For a feel of the traditional performing arts there are renderings of Kathakali, Mohiniyattam, and Koothu....
