The Discovery Houseboat is part of the Malabar Escapes group which are renowned for their boutique, stylish properties. They have managed to continue this theme onto a houseboat for you to discover the beautiful backwaters of Kerala by blending contemporary architecture with the traditional hull of a wooden rice barge.
Whilst still getting the experience a traditional houseboat offers, you will be in the upmost comfort staying in a spacious and modern air-conditioned suite with a bedroom, living room, bathroom and wardrobe area.
Your own chef will be on board to cook you fantastic traditional meals as well as a captain, driver and service boy to make sure you are completely comfortable. The sundeck on top allows you to view life on the water as you float by at a gentle place as well as enjoy the beautiful weather.
A trip on the Discovery boat is two nights, three days or three nights four days ensuring you get a true backwater experience. With both you will get the chance to take a smaller boat down the smaller water alleys as well as go on land and spend time in the villages nearby.
The Discovery is eco-friendly to ensure there is no contamination to the backwaters fragile eco system. It departs and arrived from Purity, another property in the same hotel group and so can be a brilliant combination. However it is also only 70km from Cochin airport if you would prefer to just spend your time on the waterways.
