Lotus Houseboat
The Lotus Houseboat is a traditional rice barge converted into a floating hotel cruising the region's remote backwaters. With its pristinely designed interiors, opulent furnishings, and panoramic views, this floating gem is a true standout among houseboats in the region. Guests can indulge in sumptuous local cuisine and relax on plush sun loungers, taking in the stunning scenery surrounding them. As the day cools, the sun deck transforms into the perfect location to sip an aperitif or dine under a twinkling star-filled sky and indulge in seafood thali feasts courtesy of the exceptional onboard chef. An incredible, unique stay offering a glimpse into the beauty of India's waterways.
The Lotus cruises through Kerala’s beautiful backwaters in the lush green Malabar region.
