Calm Kerala
See Kerala's highlights without the crowds and explore treasures far from the tourist trail like Thattekad Bird Sanctuary and the coastal village of Cherai.
Homely and humble, Vala House is one of the loveliest villas in Cherai.
This small Keralan manor house sits in a very scenic spot overlooking the backwaters and feels a whole world away from the city of Cochin. You can choose between 4 guest rooms – all of which are unpretentious, light and airy, and have uninterrupted views across the lagoon outside. (If you’re travelling as a group or would like complete privacy, there’s the option to take over the whole villa).
Stay here to soak up Cherai's relaxed atmosphere and settle into its laid-back lifestyle. Watch the villagers gliding down the canals and tending to their Chinese fishing nets by day, and see the sun go down behind the swaying palm trees while dining out on the deck by night. Don't miss out on the 'rural rambles' and village tours offered here, or a visit to Cherai beach, which lies a short 5-minute stroll away.
