Kerala's famous backwaters comprise of vast lakes and a system of narrow canals and waterways linking them to one another. Not so long ago, these waterways served as the backbone of Kerala's transportation. And Kumarakom is the ideal place to experience the backwaters.

 

Muted as the dawn itself, the alarm cry of a solitary pond heron breaks the early morning stillness as a dugout canoe, paddled by two fishermen, glides across the water at a determined but unhurried pace. The scene is idyllic, the mood dreamlike. Kerala’s back country waterways seem far removed from the universe most of us inhabit, yet they are linked to the rest of the world in a very real way, and have been for at least two millennia. In earlier times, if less so today, these very waterways were the staring point for the transport of South Indian spices, which eventually found their way to the distant shores of Europe and beyond. Formed by the 40- odd rivers that flow down to the Arabian Sea form the Cardamom Hills in the Western Ghats, this network of rivers, canals, lakes and estuaries compromises one of India’s most beautiful areas a rural, river in expanse of verdant coconut groves and rice paddies. In Malayalam, the language of Kerala, the backwaters are known as Kuttanad, "the land of the short people," a reference, perhaps, to the face that the farmers seen working here are often knee-deep in paddy fields.
 


 

 

Facilities and Services

Resort Facilities

The resort features facilities ranging from Ayurveda to 'Dead sea water treatment' and other specialized therapies.

Coconut Lagoon Resort  have 14 Heritage Mansions, 28 Heritage Bungalows. Though some of the cottages areCoconut Lagoon Resort, Kumarakom of more recent vintage, many are well over a century old and a few actually date back to the early 1700s. The resort can only be reached by boat and its accommodation consists of individual cottages called Tharavadu, the traditional wooden house of Kerala. Coconut Lagoon's cottages feature ultramodern bathrooms, each located in an inner courtyard boasting its own banana tree.

Through all the cottages vary in configuration, and some of the air-conditioned units are newly built replicas in corporation only fragments of old Tharavadu that could not be saved in their entirety, Coconut Lagoon offers two basic types of accommodation: Heritage Mansion and Heritage Bungalows. The former has two stories, the upstairs bedroom gallery offering particularly magnificent views of Lake Vembanad. The latter are more compact, single – level cottages. Both are furnished in aiyny and jack woods, and retain all the charm of original family homes, with thick, solid doors, intricate window carvings, and terra cotta tile floors.
Coconut Lagoon Resort, KumarakomStructurally necessary alterations have been carried out with consummate discretion, i.e., in keeping with the style and décor of the era, and great attention has been paid to very detail. The lamp stands in each Tharavadu, for example, having been carved from old wooden hinges. Traditionally, of course, Keralites bathed in the rivers – in rural areas many people still do – but Coconut Lagoon’s cottages feature ultramodern bathrooms, each located in an inner courtyard boasting its own banana (or coconut) tree, so you can shower al fresco under a starlit sky in complete and utter privacy!

Facilities : The reception building itself, for example, is a Nalukettu, a design that features a four-cornered pen-roof courtyard within the basic structure. Originally located in the village of Vaikom not far from Coconut Lagoon, it was known as "Kalapakasseril Illam" – the word Illam signifying a mansion belonging to a member of the Brahmin caste – and was constructed in 1860. The Illam was purchased in 1993, at which time a team led by Bhaskaran Ashari, one of Kerala’s few surviving master craftsmen still familiar with the traditional thachu shasthra style of carpentry, went about the task of reconstructing the mansion at its present location.
