Romance

Backwater Retreat’s otherworldly setting makes it an incredible place to celebrate your love. Whether you’re looking for an exotic honeymoon retreat or a truly special way to celebrate your anniversary together, the setting alone is enough to fulfil your romantic ideals.

Sitting atop the tropical riverbank, the resort offers incredible views of the Kerala waters; a perfect landscape to sit together on the waterside deck and deepen your love. Explore the natural wonders of the water with one of their amazing houseboat cruises, just the two of you. To take your romantic experience over the top, why not book an authentic Ayurveda massage to truly relax together, so you can fully take in every moment.

Your Stay

Backwater Retreat offers a variety of accommodation options. There are 6 comfortable rooms to choose from, with the river-facing spaces having a real romantic wow factor.

Perhaps you’d prefer to stay on the water instead, in one of their traditionally decorated houseboats to get yet closer to nature; or perhaps you’d like a mix of the two.

Perfect for an anniversary or honeymoon, the resort and houseboat package gives you the luxury to experience both the well-appointed resort rooms alongside a night on the river.

What to Do

Backwater Retreat offers incredible cruises along the river, where you and your loved one can watch the sun begin its eastern morning ascent, or if you’d prefer a little longer in bed, an afternoon voyage is just as magical.

Once you’ve absorbed the tranquil village atmosphere, why not explore further afield and experience more of what Kerala has to offer. Discover the natural wonders of Vagamon or the local sights of Vagamon Hill Station. Take in the exotic wildlife in Kumakarom bird sanctuary. If you’re looking for a more active romantic escape, there are plenty of opportunities to explore the emerald backwaters via canoe.

The Food of Love

Backwater retreat offers a delicious array of traditional Kerala and Indian cuisine. Sample their incredible dishes on the deck of your houseboat as the lush exotic fauna glide by. Or, if you’re looking for a little more privacy, dinner can be served in your room for a truly private romantic meal for two.
