Houseboat arrivals, lakeside ceremonies and tropical décor give the celebration a distinct identity, perfect for couples seeking intimacy and natural beauty over scale.
Functions & how we use the spaces
We plan lakeside Pheras at sunset, a Sangeet among the heritage villas and gardens, and houseboat experiences woven through the guest journey. The resort's intimate scale suits up to around 300 guests and lends every function a personal, immersive feel.
Logistics, season & guest stay
October to March offers Kerala's most pleasant, dry weather. Guests stay in the resort's villas and at partner properties nearby; we manage transfers from Kochi, backwater-function logistics and the full hospitality desk for a destination many guests will be visiting for the first time.
