About Coconut Lagoon Resort Kumarakom
Marooned in the beautiful Vembanad Lake, Coconut Lagoon Resort Kumarakom glows like a jewel in the crown. This uniquely designed "heritage resort" is a re-creation of a traditional Keralan village and each of the wooden house is an original Kerala tharavadu which has been brought from all over the state and carefully re-assembled by skilled craftsmen. The
Coconut Lagoon Resort Kumarakom can only be reached by boat - a ferry leaves from one of the several mainland embarkation points at scheduled times throughout the day.

Food at Coconut Lagoon Resort Kumarakom
Besides a buffet restaurant, the bar serves tall drinks all day and a Fish Restaurant opens every evening serving only the fresh catch of the day. Cited in Arundhati Roy's Booker Prize winning bestseller, "The God of Small Things," the restaurant at
Coconut Lagoon Resort Kumarakom is renowned as much for its superb Keralan cuisine (Vegetarian and non-vegetarian alike) as for its authentic setting, and is housed in one of the resort's most impressive tharawads. Known as an ettukettu, the building incorporates two atrium-like courtyards under an expansive tile roof supported by dozens of slim columns, a design that enables the space within to benefit from the slightest breeze. The restaurant is the oldest structure at Coconut Lagoon Resort Kumarakom, and it, too, formerly belonged to a prominent Malayali family living in a nearby village.
