Property Overview

Set on the serene shores of Vembanad Lake, Uday Backwater Resort in Alappuzha is a tranquil destination marrying the charm of Kerala’s backwaters with holistic wellness and modern comfort. Surrounded by lush greenery and glistening waters, the resort crafts a sensory escape—rooms and villas open to lake views, water reflections, and the soft rustle of palms. Architecture blends traditional Kerala design cues (sloping roofs, verandas, natural materials) with thoughtful modern amenities to provide both immersion in nature and ease of stay.

Guests can stay in several room types—lake view deluxe, premium and elite rooms; lake view suites; pool villas; and premium pool villas—each offering spacious interiors, balconies or terraces overlooking the water, tranquil vistas, and privacy. The resort’s in‑house wellness centre includes an Ayurveda & Spa, offering traditional therapies, relaxing massages, and rejuvenation packages. Daily yoga or meditation sessions (depending on season/offering) may be arranged, while water‑based activities like boat rides, houseboat tours or shikara rides accentuate the experience.

Dining at the resort (Ambaal restaurant) features both multi‑cuisine and local Kerala fare, using fresh ingredients, often with view of the backwaters. Though Uday Backwaters is more resort than fully “eco‑retreat,” it shows sustainable leanings: conservation of water views, peaceful landscape design; promotion of wellness over urbane hustle; and being set in nature rather than dominating it. A stay at Uday Backwaters is a chance to slow down: wake to mist on lake, unwind in spa, drift on boat, dine with calm, enough luxury to comfort, enough nature to heal.
