Hidden among the palm trees on the eastern shore of Lake Vembanad, at the mouth of the Kavanar River, Coconut Lagoon Heritage Resort is set on a coconut plantation in the very heart of these fascinating backwaters, and has been designed to give visitors an authentic insight into Kuttanad life. The resort can only be reached by boat.

Accommodation:

14 Heritage Mansions, 28 Heritage Bungalows. Though some of the cottages are of more recent vintage, many are well over a century old and a few actually date back to the early 1700s. The resort can only be reached by boat and its accommodation consists of individual cottages called tharawads, the traditional wooden house of Kerala. Coconut Lagoon's cottages feature ultramodern bathrooms, each located in an inner courtyard boasting its own banana tree.

Restaurants & Bars:

Besides a buffet restaurant, the bar serves tall drinks all day and a Fish Restaurant opens every evening serving only the fresh catch of the day. Cited in Arundhati Roy's Booker Prize winning bestseller, "The God of Small Things," the restaurant at Coconut Lagoon is renowned as much for its superb Keralan cuisine (Vegetarian and non-vegetarian alike) as for its authentic setting, and is housed in one of the resort's most impressive tharawads.
