Fodor's Expert Review Punnamada Resort

Punnamada, Kottankulangara, Punnamada, Kerala, 688006, India Fodor's Choice

Small design details, spacious grounds, and lake-view rooms with private patios just steps from the water make this large backwater resort sparkle. The traditional tile-roof buildings have ornate wooden carvings on the facades, while rooms have high ceilings, exposed wooden rafters, and decoratively tiled floors. The resort also has luxury one-bedroom and two-bedroom houseboats that can be booked for a day cruise or an overnight stay on Vembanad lake.
