Coconut Lagoon

Layout

Coconut Lagoon is located on Lake Vembanad, one of India's largest inland lakes, whose distinctive ecology shelters an abundance of natural life. There is only one way to reach Coconut Lagoon: by water. From its private jetty about a kilometre upstream, the boat journey across the lake's gentle swell, past languid coconut palms and houses, to the resort itself sets the tone for the holiday ahead — exciting and new, yet relaxed and nourishing!

If you enjoy birdwatching, Coconut Lagoon will give you many days of pleasure. It is no exaggeration to say that the cottages at Coconut Lagoon are individual works of art. They were built from the remains of old tharavads — ancestral homes that once belonged to the region's nobility. These were brought here piece by piece and painstakingly reassembled by skilled craftsmen, so that you can experience first-hand what it was like to live in these storied old houses. In tribute to the environment that sustains us all, the lodge keeps its own sacred grove on the property. It is a patch of primary forest set aside for nature, honouring an ancestral tradition.

Kerala is known to all for its dreamlike backwaters, misty mountains and spellbinding coastline. Its history and politics are no less renowned. But few know of the distinctive character of its cuisine, as unique as it is enigmatic! At Aymanam, the restaurant on the shore of Coconut Lagoon, you will be introduced to the wonders of this singular culinary tradition — genuine Kerala cuisine, prepared with homely care and served on banana leaves for full authenticity. Expect to taste regional favourites such as fish curry and tapioca with crushed chilli — a dish for the lucky, the bold and the hungry! The buffet also features rare recipes, prized throughout Kerala, that may be unknown to the outside world. 

WiFi is available throughout the property, so you can stay connected to work.

Yoga classes are available to help you meet your daily exercise quota. For those who want to work up more of a sweat, the resort also has cardio machines to help you get a proper workout.

Rooms

Accommodation at Coconut Lagoon goes beyond mere comfort and satisfaction. It should be approached as a distinctive experience, one you will gladly remember for its uniqueness and variety. Each type of accommodation on the property holds its own mystique that will captivate you in its own way. No two rooms are alike (much like us, humans!) and each has its own charms and secrets waiting to be discovered. However different they may be, all rooms at Coconut Lagoon are united by an inspired aesthetic programme guided by “the regional” and “the natural”. Furniture has been painstakingly sourced, as have antique objects and materials, either directly from traditional mansions or custom-made by skilled craftsmen working with traditional materials, to give you a rare holiday experience.
