Kerala
Kerala's palm-fringed backwaters, houseboat cruises and Ayurvedic wellness traditions make it one of India's most relaxing and distinctive holiday destinations.
Backwaters, Ayurveda and spice hills
Kumarakom Lake Resort
Built around restored heritage tharavads (traditional Kerala homes) on the shores of Vembanad Lake, this resort pairs Ayurvedic treatments with houseboat cruises through the backwaters. It's widely regarded as the benchmark backwater resort in Kerala.
Coconut Lagoon, Kumarakom
Accessible only by boat, this CGH Earth property is built from reassembled heritage Kerala homes scattered through a coconut grove beside the lake. Its low-impact, back-to-nature approach includes an organic kitchen garden and canal-side Ayurveda centre.
ShriGo Bekal Fort Resort & Spa
Steps from the ramparts of Bekal Fort and a short stroll to the beach, this resort mixes Kerala's backwater calm with a private beach stretch and a lazy river for lounging. Ayurvedic-style spa treatments and yoga sessions round out a low-key coastal stay.
