Kochi, Alleppey & Marari Beach
New
Begin and end in Kochi on this relaxed three day Kerala escape. You’ll glide through Alleppey’s legendary backwaters on a traditional houseboat, with a fresh Kerala lunch served as paddy fields and coconut palms drift by. Afterwards you’ll settle into a beachfront stay at Marari, with a free day to swim, unwind under the palms and watch a glowing sunset over the Arabian Sea. Expect to see village life along the canals, colourful boats and abundant birdlife. The pace is easy – short drives, lovely scenery and plenty of time to breathe – ideal if you want culture, nature and beach time in one trip.

Overnight at the hotel.
Day 2 - Marari Beach At Leisure
We start the day with a leisurely breakfast at the hotel, featuring Kerala dishes. There are no scheduled activities today – you can relax on Marari Beach at your own pace, lounge in the shade, swim in the clear water, join a casual game of beach volleyball or comb the shoreline for shells. Take time to enjoy the calm of the coast and the steady rhythm of the waves. As evening approaches, you may like to watch the sunset from the sand. Return to your Marari hotel for an overnight stay.
Day 3 - Return to Kochi
