Luxury Holidays in Kumarakom

Kerala backwater paradise

This beguiling Kerala backwater is an emerald paradise, a fascinating peninsula on the vast and scenic Vembanand Lake. The fresh water of the lake runs into the mainland creating a labyrinth of lagoons, brooks, canals and waterways, rich for exploration.

Kumarkom is a treasure trove of coconut palm groves, lush paddy fields, mangroves teeming with birdlife and waters abundant with fish, crabs and tiger prawns. These finest ingredients supply the local culinary delicacies. Be sure not to miss out on Karimeen and fresh toddy – the favourite freshwater food and local wine.

The area’s secluded resorts offer authentic spa treatments, and Ayurvedic massage, yoga and meditation. Excellent sailing, canoeing, windsailing and waterskiing opportunities abound here, as does fishing and swimming.
