Good to know

Kerala hotel guide

Kerala has three kinds of hotel trip: cool hill stations, backwater resorts and beach resorts. Choose the region first, because the setting shapes your days more than the hotel does.

Choosing where to stay in Kerala

Hill stations

Tea estates, mist and cooler air in Munnar, Thekkady and Vagamon. Munnar has the widest choice, from simple hotels in town to 5-star resorts with pools and spas.

Backwaters

Lake-view resorts and overnight houseboats around Alleppey and Kumarakom.

  • Best for: slow days on the water, paired with a hill-station stay

Beaches

Cliff-top and beachfront resorts at Kovalam, Varkala and Marari, many with Ayurveda centres.

  • Best for: a relaxed end to a Kerala trip

Planning a Kerala hotel stay

  • Combine two or three regions, for example two nights in Munnar, one on a houseboat and two on a beach.
  • Best weather: September to March.
  • Book early for Christmas, New Year and Indian school holidays, when hill stations fill up.

Tell us your route and dates and we will suggest hotels for each stop.

Frequently Asked Questions
