Alleppey Houseboat Overnight Stay

Spend the night on a private houseboat departing Punnamada Jetty — canals and Kuttanad villages by day, a quiet Alleppey anchorage by evening, and a slow morning cruise back.

One Night in Alleppey

Slow evenings on Kerala’s original backwater route

An Alleppey overnight stay follows the same village-close route as the day cruise — departing Punnamada Jetty, threading through narrow canals and the below-sea-level paddy fields of Kuttanad — but unfolds at a much slower pace across a full day and night. The houseboat anchors by the lake banks for a peaceful evening before a quiet morning cruise the next day.

It’s a favourite for couples, honeymooners and families who want the classic, story-book Alleppey backwater scenery without rushing through it. Choose between Deluxe, Premium and Luxury houseboats, each with private bedrooms, dining and deck space.
