Property Overview

Set on the tranquil banks of Vembanad Lake in Alleppey (Alappuzha), Punnamada Resort is a backwater haven that marries Kerala’s rich heritage with holistic wellness. Just 4 km from Alleppey town, the resort is a serene escape where luxurious comfort, lush greenery, traditional architecture, and wellness practices blend seamlessly. As dawn breaks, you may find yourself gazing across mirror‑like lake waters from your villa, listening to birds, and breathing the freshness of the backwaters.

The resort’s design draws from authentic Kerala styles: sloping tiled roofs, wooden beams, open verandas, expansive windows that frame views of water and gardens, and thoughtful landscape design with native trees, orchids, and tropical flowers. Accommodations include villa categories like garden view, heritage garden view, lake view, duplex, private pool villas, and even disabled‑friendly rooms. Interiors combine local craftsmanship with modern comfort: natural wood, earthy tones, terraces overlooking water, and spaces that invite calm.

For wellness seekers, Punnamada integrates Ayurveda, yoga, meditation and spa journeys into the stay. Guests can enjoy Ayurvedic therapies guided by expert practitioners, yoga sessions by peaceful spots, and meditation in serene gardens. The gourmet restaurant offers traditional Kerala cuisine and international flavors, with options to include dosha‑balanced and organic menus. Outdoor facilities like a swimming pool, boating on the lake, cycling paths, and lush garden walks enhance the holistic experience. Even though the resort is luxurious, efforts toward sustainable living—such as eco‑policies, green landscaping, possibly reducing waste and harnessing local resources—add meaning to relaxation. Staying here feels like pausing time: immersed in nature, refreshed by wellness, and connected to culture.
