Offering lake views, Thara's Houseboat is an accommodation situated in Alleppey, 1.1 km from Mullakkal Rajarajeswari Temple and 4.1 km from Alleppey Lighthouse. This property offers access to a balcony and free private parking. The accommodation features a shared kitchen and full-day security for guests. This is a MUST in Kerala. With my husband and a couple of friends, we took a traditional ultra deluxe cruise and spent the night on the boat. It was an unforgettable experience. The landscape is breathtaking, and it's beautiful to see how the scenery changes as you navigate through the wide or narrow canals of the backwaters. We spent one night, but I would have loved to stay another day. In the evening, the boat docks in a place where only we were, creating a peaceful and excellent relaxing atmosphere. The boat was impeccable and comfortable, truly flawless. The food was exquisite, offering a wide variety for those who wanted to try the delights of Kerala cuisine or those who preferred something more international. The staff was very friendly and had excellent communication. Unforgettable!

Located in Alleppey, Why Not Houseboat offers accommodation with seating area. There is a private entrance at the boat for the convenience of those who stay. The boat also provides free WiFi, free private parking and facilities for disabled guests. I was not expecting a boat with high ends finishes: room and, most importantly, bathroom were spectacular. The roof terrace is amazing to spend time just relaxing and soaking up this experience. I came with 3 friends and we all had a great time spending time with each other.

Xandari Riverscapes are a fleet of house boats which sails along Vembanad Lake and in the backwaters of Alleppey. The houseboats are docked near Pallathuruthy Bridge.

The traditional houseboats, called "kettuvallams" have wood harvested from local jackfruit tree plantations, hand-stitched by local craftsmen with coconut fiber rope. Good value for money house boat. Staff is amazing. Food is prepared on board by excellent chef: fish fry lunch, veg or non-veg dinner on request and breakfast. Excursion on canoe-style boat in the small canals was a nice addition. A/C in bedroom works well. Spacious bathroom
