Coconut Lagoon is a charming, rustic, backwater retreat that enjoys a superb location on the banks of Lake Vembanad and reflects the gentle, unhurried life of a typical Keralan village. Set amongst lush green tropical gardens filled with swaying palms and flowering plants, Coconut Lagoon can only be accessed by a boat. Inspired by the traditional architecture, accommodation comprises of heritage style bungalows and private pool villas created using carved antique doors, polished wooden pillars. Rooms are individually decorated with natural fabrics and tastefully furnished with restored antique cupboards, wooden dressing tables, bedside tables and chests of drawers all salvaged from traditional Keralan homes. The Heritage Bungalows are independent cottages set along narrow canals overlooking the lush gardens; while the duplex Heritage Mansions feature a living room on the ground floor and a bedroom on the upper level and offer fine views of Lake Vembanad. The Private Pool Villas are set on the edge of the lake and have a plunge pool in their private gardens. Dining options include a lakeside specialty sea-food restaurant, while the hotel’s bar serves beer and Indian wines. Leisure facilities at the Coconut Lagoon include an outdoor swimming pool, an Ayurvedic centre offering holistic traditional massages and a well-equipped gym. The hotel also offers a range of experiences including cooking demonstrations, a short sunset cruise and nature walks. Coconut Lagoon is renowned for its eco-friendly, sustainable tourism practices. One of the unique activities which the hotel supports is the preservation of the endangered ‘Veechur’ cattle. Please do not be surprised if you see the resident Veechur bull or cow outside your cottage, as they have the freedom to roam around the property. A butterfly garden is another notable feature of Coconut Lagoon.
