KUMARAKOM
Backwater Brook – The Lakefront Villa
Backwater Brook is more than just a stay, it’s a front-row seat to Kumarakom’s backwaters. Nestled by Vembanad Lake, the largest lake in Kerala, our villa puts you right in the heart of Kumarakom’s famed backwater landscape. A short drive (about 14 km) from Kottayam, Kumarakom is a serene tourism village celebrated as one of the famous Kerala backwater holiday destinations. Quiet days drift by beneath coconut palms and over sunlit paddy fields, exactly the kind of laid-back pace that makes a visit to Kumarakom unforgettable.
KUMARAKOM VILLA & HOUSEBOAT
Lakefront Villa with Pool, Restaurant & Houseboat Cruises
Our lakefront villa offers home-like comfort with a private restaurant and direct houseboat access. Enjoy authentic Kerala meals at our in-house dining area: start with fresh-brewed filter coffee and fluffy appam or puttu in the morning, and savor local curries for dinner. Kerala’s cuisine is famous for its use of coconut and spices; try our fish curry made with the daily catch from Vembanad (the local Karimeen or Pearl Spot). In the evening, sip tea on the water’s edge – you may watch a kingfisher dive into the water or see the first lanterns of evening on passing boats.
Step aboard our traditional houseboat for a slow cruise through Kumarakom’s waterways. Drifting on Vembanad Lake, you’ll see why “cruising on the Kumarakom backwaters is one of the best ways to explore” the region. Float past quiet villages, emerald-green paddy fields and mangrove fringes as the sun dips below the palms. Each cruise includes tea and snacks; some guests even enjoy freshly cooked meals on board while
