- A favourite of ours, Serenity at Kanam Estate has everything a traveller could want. Laxmi, the resident elephant, keeps the kids entertained, whilst parents can be pampered at the indulgent Ayurvedic PureSpa. Its secluded position amongst this former rubber plantation, quintessential 1920’s colonial décor and some authentic South Indian home cooking make it a totally blissful stay.
- Coconut Lagoon is a good choice too. It offers private cottage style accommodation, some with their own pools, the ubiquitous Ayurvedic spa and of course fabulous food.
- Kumarakom Lake Resort is a serene spot that's perfect for those looking to get away from it all. Their charming villas are traditional in style and boast lovely views out onto the lake. Truly blissful.
- Vivanta by Taj Kumarakom is a lovely retreat overlooking the Vembanad Lake and surrounded by verdant gardens. Stay in Portuguese-style cottages and if you want to truly unwind then head along to the spa.
- Punnamada Resort oozes understated luxury and elegance. The accommodation features lovely four-posters and wooden furnishings; it's the ideal retreat for those seeking a little romance.
- The Zuri Kumarakom Kerala Resorts & Spa is a great spot for those wanting to pamper themselves. They've got an extensive wellness menu, fitness centre and detox packages, whilst the rooms also boast tremendous views.
- Purity features boutique acommodation, lovely surrounds and a restaurant serving up fresh Keralan dishes. There's a range of detox treatments available, as well as a pool to unwind in.
