Backwater Resort Alleppey Accomodation
What’s the best thing about traveling and staying at a resort that’s built idyllically on the banks of the Kerala backwaters you might ask? We say, it’s the resort’s accommodation that has been designed with two things in mind – heritage and luxurious comfort.

The villas have all been built using traditional Kerala architecture, and each part of the rooms have a hint of traditional ethnicity present in their designs, be it the slanted roofs, beams, bed posts, heavy wooden doors and windows, linen, upholstery, metal furnishings, etc. So the first thing guests feel as they enter the rooms is a touch of luxury, mixed with antique beauty. And the best thing about the rooms is that the bathrooms are large, airy and open-roofed with pebbled flooring and greenery, that takes you back to nature.

Punnamada resort has three basic styles of rooms, the most opulent being the Lake villas that have the largest rooms. With wide windows facing the Vembanad Lake, ample sunlight spilling into the rooms, the Lake view villas are just beautiful. The garden side villas are a tad bit smaller, but luxurious nonetheless.

Not only that, each of the room has been designed to allow the morning sunrise to wake you up, something you can enjoy from the interior of your rooms as well as outdoors. Imagine, lying back against the warm softness of your bed, as the sun rays split the horizon, or inversely, spending time on the porch in your rocking chair, with a cup of tea in your hand.
