Property Overview 

Backwater Ripples in Kumarakom, Kerala, is a serene retreat set on the banks of Vembanad Lake, where water, greenery, and wellness fuse into a harmonious escape. Nested amid lush gardens and gently swaying palms, this property combines traditional Kerala architectural elegance with modern comforts. The resort offers rooms & cottages with lake or garden views, private verandahs/sit‑outs, open‑air showers or sit‑outs, all furnished tastefully to connect you with nature while maintaining luxury.

At the heart of the guest experience is holistic wellness. The Vedasparsh Spa provides Ayurvedic treatments tailored to individual needs, helping restore balance and calm. Daily yoga and meditation sessions are held in tranquil lakeside or garden settings, rising with sunrise or winding down with sunset.

Eco‑sustainability is woven through the design and operations: natural ventilation, garden landscaping, preserving natural surroundings, reducing plastic, and emphasizing locally sourced materials. Every stay is designed to feel like a restorative rhythm: gentle waves at dawn, herbal aromas, wellness rituals, calm evenings under stars.

If you’re seeking a getaway where your wellbeing is nurtured, your senses are gently awakened, and your connection to nature deepens, Backwater Ripples offers a sanctuary for both healing and relaxation.
