Private Houseboat Experiences and Exquisite Coastal Stays in Kerala

Alleppey is often oversimplified into being just backwaters. In reality, it is much more than that. In this one single area, you get to experience most of Kerala’s tropical beauty in one frame. There are canals, palm trees, and coconut groves. And all of that right next to the Seashores of the Arabian Sea. The real texture of the place lives in this overlap between water and shore. Mornings on the backwaters move at the pace of the tide,  mist over the canals, fishing boats setting out before the heat arrives.  

A short distance away, Marari's coastline is one of the best, most secluded areas of the whole coastline. It is very open and rarely crowded, unlike the commercial beaches in the southern region of Kerala.

Keeping all of this in mind, DestinMe built its collection of the most exclusive properties in the Alleppey area. Featuring exquisite houseboats and majestic bungalows that are sure to be the centerpiece of your Kerala expedition. Guests staying at Ostia Marari are a kilometre from the houseboat docks, close enough to spend a morning on the water and an evening on the sand without changing base.

Then there is the cuisine. Keralite seafood is some of the most sought-after cuisines in all of India. And with DestinMe, you get to witness why firsthand. With our optional private chef experiences, we ensure that you get to taste what real Kerala Cuisine stands for. The catch is fresh and is prepared by expert chefs in your accommodation itself with the highest standard of hygiene.

Safe to say, Alleppey is best experienced with DestinMe!
