Coconut Lagoon

Overview

Coconut lagoon is located upon the Vembanad lake, one of India’s largest inland lakes with its own distinctive ecology that supports a plethora of natural life. There’s only one way to get to Coconut Lagoon: over the water. From our private jetty about a kilometer upstream, the boat ride over the lake’s gentle swells, past lazy coconut palms and houses, to the resort sets the tone of your holiday to come - exciting and novel, yet relaxed and nurturing! If you are a bird lover then Coconut Lagoon will give you many days of happy bird spotting. It will not be far fetched to say that the guest cottages at the coconut lagoon are individual works of art. They were built from the remnants of old mansions - tharavads, that were once the family homes of the nobility of the land. They were brought here in sections and painstakingly reassembled by skilled craftspeople so that you could experience first hand what it is to live in these ancient and celebrated houses of yore. In homage to the environment that supports and sustains us all, we have our very own sacred grove in the property.

It is a piece of pristine ‘forest’ dedicated to nature, while keeping with a time honoured tradition.Kerala is known to many for its dreamy waterways, misty mountains and bewitching coastlines. Its history and polity are no less reputed. But few know of the specialness of its cuisine - unique as it is enigmatic! At Aymanam, the lakeside restaurant at the Coconut lagoon, you will get initiated into the wonders of this distinct culinary tradition - real Kerala food, made with care as you would at home and served upon banana leaves to round off its authenticity. Look forward to age-old favorites of the region like fish curry and tapioca with crushed bird’s eye chilly - a dish for the fortunate, the venturesome and the hungry! Our buffet has rare recipes prized all around Kerala, that may be unknown to the outside world. No doubt a lot of these are centered around fish dishes, most notably ‘Karimeen’, the legendary Pearl spot fish of the backwaters. The nuances of its preparation are often the source of lengthy discourses(and arguments) among fish connoisseurs (yes there is such a tribe in this ancient land) who take their business - the fine art of fish preparation- quite seriously.

Accommodation

Coconut lagoon extends beyond the borders of mere comfort and contentment. We approach it as a distinctive experience and one that you will fondly recall for its uniqueness and variety. Every type of accommodation at our resort has its own mystique nested within it that will captivate you in its own way and manner. No two rooms are alike (just like us humans!) and have their own charms and secrets waiting to be discovered. Different as they are, every guest accommodation at the Coconut lagoon is united by an aesthetic agenda that is inspired and guided by ‘the regional’ and ‘the natural’. We have painstakingly sourced old furniture, artifacts and materials either directly from traditional manors or had them made by skilled craftspersons working with traditional materials to help manifest a rare holiday experience for you.
