A floating home on the calm waters of Alleppey
Shalimar is a hand-built kettuvallam houseboat that glides through the backwaters at paddle pace. Days drift between canal-side villages, noon meals of fresh karimeen, and evenings on the sundeck watching the sky turn to gold.
Every room is hand-picked for view, light and comfort. Prices are per room, per night.
