Muhamma, Alappuzha, Kerala

Like most Kerala homes, Kovilakam stands serene, stately yet traditional, and breathtakingly beautiful, thirsting to be unravelled. This little villa with all its homeliness lends you the luxury of lazing on its own lawns, drinking in the sight of backwaters glistening under the pale blue sky, dotted with fisherman casting their nets. Occasional cries of a boatman hauling his net jerks you back to reality.

An enjoyable cruise through the heart of the backwaters in a house boat takes you to Kuttanad, the rice bowl of Kerala, where farming is done 2 mts. below sea level. The tranquil waters with its myriad lagoons and serpentine canals give you a feeling that there is more to be seen.

Pathiramanal, a forgotten paradise where nature flourishes untouched by man, is just a few minutes away. A casual walk through the village gives you a unique opportunity to view the village folk engaged in boat making, fishing, toddy tapping and prawn culture. The chinese nets gracefully bowing their heads into the backwaters, paint a beautiful sight. And finally to soothe the body and mind you can also indulge in a rejuvenating ayurvedic oil massage at Kovilakam.

Our "Mattupavu" restaurant offers you traditional Kerala fare. You could wash down hot, delicious 'appams' and lip smacking 'Kozhy curry' with tender coconut water. Other Kerala delicacies and sea food items are sure to create that lingering taste in you .
