Description
Location
The luxury hotel is located on the small island of Virippukala in Ayimanam Panchayat, by the village of Kumarakom on the banks of the Vembanad lake. It is surrounded by paddy fields planted in a flat area by the lake. This area is geographically called a Kuttanad. Most of the paddy fields were reclaimed from the Vembanad Lake during the British colonial era for increased food production. In order to make the reclamation possible, a number of narrow canals were built. Today the area forms part of village life. The island also lies between 2 tributaries of the main river Meenachil. The international airport is 180 km away. The town centre, a train station and a bus station are some 15 km away. The towns of Kottayam and Cochin are 78 km away. The main railway station is located 60 km from the hotel.
