Kerala Houseboat Overnight Stay

Spend the night on a private houseboat and experience Kerala’s backwaters at their quietest — with lunch, evening tea, dinner, breakfast and a slow morning cruise.

One Night Afloat

Slow evenings, quiet mornings

Available in Alleppey or Kumarakom, the overnight stay moves at a beautifully unhurried pace. Cruise past lake edges and canal life by day, anchor in the evening, then wake to a quiet morning afloat.

Ideal for couples, families, honeymooners and private groups, with a choice between Deluxe, Premium and Luxury houseboats.
