Coconut Lagoon is
our attempt to capture the essence of the Kerala experience and then
offer it in a unique setting. We like to believe that this is the reason
why Condé Nast Traveller rated Coconut Lagoon among the 25 best getaways
in the world.
Before you is the great Vembanad lake, rippling under the vault of an impossibly large sky.
Sunlight sparkles on her waters, tearing the reflection of a passing houseboat into crystal
shards.
To a timber and tile mansion that seems to belong to this earth, but to another time.
If you left the comfort of your hammock for a closer look, you'd see that it is an
authentic reconstruction. Some of its timbers are 200 years old. They were moved here
piece by piece, a legacy of the tharavads of old Kerala.
Notice the brass detail on the doors? The fretted woodwork on the verandah ceilings?
This is the finesse of another age, brought back to life by the masters of a dying art.
It shall be your home tonight.
Coconut Lagoon resort is reachable only over the water. It nestles along one shore of
the Vembanad lake, a 175 square km. expanse stretching between the backwaters of Kerala
and the sea. Perhaps, if you are lucky, you'll arrive at dusk. When reds and golds and
purples colour the sleepy waters and the only sounds are of gently lapping waves, mingled
with your own rising breath. Lazily, the red roofs of Coconut Lagoon emerge from the palm
shadows and, going a little way up a river mouth, you make a sharp turn that brings you
right into our reception.
