Coconut Lagoon is an attempt to capture the essence of the Kerala
experience and then offer it in a unique setting. Nothing has
been added that does not already belong. And if the comforts
of life enter (as they must), they do so in a way that leaves
the harmony around them undisturbed.
Perhaps that this is the reason why Condé Nast Traveller
rated Coconut Lagoon among the 25 best getaways in the world.
The resort is reachable only over the water. It nestles along
one shore of the Vembanad Lake, a 175 square km. expanse stretching
between the backwaters of Kerala and the sea. Perhaps, if you
are lucky, you'll arrive at dusk. When reds and golds and purples
colour the sleepy waters and the only sounds are of gently lapping
waves, mingled with your own rising breath. Lazily, the red
roofs of Coconut Lagoon emerge from the palm shadows and, going
a little way up a river mouth, you make a sharp turn that brings
you right into the reception.
You can choose from three kinds of accommodation at Coconut
lagoon. The Heritage Bungalows are compact independent cottages,
set in lush lawns along the canals.
The Heritage Mansions are larger, with an upper story defined
by distinctive wooden ribs that resemble the sides of a boat.
Most of these afford fine views of the lake.
Beyond, on their own quiet section of lakefront, are the Pool
Villas. Peace and privacy combine here, with private pools,
distinctive interiors and even your own little hammock, tied
up front.
