Information about Hotel Coconut Lagoon
Hotel Coconut Lagoon is the heritage lakeside resort
located in Kumarakom. This resort is reachable only by
the water. It nestles along one shore of the Vembanad
lake, covering an area of 175 square km and nicely set
on an abandoned coconut plantation in the very heart of
these fascinating backwaters. This hotel provided
visitors an authentic experience of Kerala and its
backwaters. Condé Nast Traveller has rated the Hotel
Coconut Lagoon among the 25 best getaways in the world.
The reception area in the hotel is a living piece of Kerala history. It belongs to the year 1860 and the
four-cornered open courtyard design reminds one of the
past times. The entire mansion was painstakingly
transplanted from the nearby village of Vaikom in 1993.

structure at Coconut lagoon. 'Fort Cochin' is the
speciality seafood restaurant and the famous
delights are the 'karimeen', or pearl spot fish.

river fish are served in local and international
styles. The paddy and the poultry are raised in
neighboring farms. The extensive buffet includes
delicious vegetarian spreads, ranging from local
classics (avial and kottu) to the exotic

the paddy fields. The menu also features Ayurvedic
drinks and foods that have specific restorative,
digestive or cooling effects. |
