Ameya Kerala
Lakeside peace,
Authentic backwater life
Couples,
Families
Small, serene, and secluded, this characterful property is a great place to experience the total tranquillity of Lake Vembanad.
Perfect for travellers seeking calm and simplicity, Ameya suits couples or solo travellers who value quiet, eco-conscious stays. It’s a great base for exploring Kerala’s backwaters in depth, far from the busier tourist areas.
You’ll get a real feel for life on the backwaters here, as Ameya offers terrific tours of the surrounding villages and waterways – including an offbeat rice boat experience.
We love that Ameya produces its own electricity using solar power and sources much of its food from its organic garden.
The Rooms
This relaxing retreat has a traditional feel and is made up of just 4 thatched cottages. They’re all decorated with lovely antiques, tasteful tiles, and fun fabrics and have endless views of the calming backwaters. Enjoy the peace and quiet on your villa’s balcony while listening to the gently swaying palm trees, or wander to Ameya’s spacious front lawn to take a refreshing dip in the glassy pool and read your book in a hammock.
