| Quick Summary: |
"Coconut Lagoon, a resort built by an old local family in palm groves beside Vembanad Lake . The colonial style houses of white stucco and dark Keralan teak represent the kind of architecturally and aesthetically sound tourism now rare elsewhere in India".
It requires the confident belief that reality is enchanting enough. That the magic lies in what you already have, not in any frills and fancies you might add to it. By this definition, Coconut Lagoon an authentic experience of Kerala and its backwaters. A celebration, if you will, of a land in union with its own soul.

The reception area too, like the homes we mentioned earlier, is a living piece of Kerala history. It dates from 1860, the four-cornered open courtyard design an echo of times past. The entire mansion was painstakingly transplanted from the nearby village of Vaikom in 1993. Relax on the wooden swing before you check in, or wander about, sipping on a fresh coconut and soaking in the atmosphere.
You can choose from three kinds of accommodation at Coconut lagoon.
The Heritage Bungalows : This are compact independent cottages, set in lush lawns along the canals.
The Heritage Mansions : This are larger, with an upper story defined by distinctive wooden ribs that resemble the sides of a boat. Most of these afford fine views of the lake.
Pool Villas : Beyond, on their own quiet section of lake front, are the Pool Villas. Peace and privacy combine here, with private pools, distinctive interiors and even your own little hammock, tied up front. |
