Luxury 6 Bedroom — Private Houseboat

The Luxury 6 Bedroom is the largest boat in our Luxury range — six en-suite bedrooms, a full upper deck with a banquet table, a separate lounge, and a buffet counter. It sleeps twelve adults and runs the Alleppey–Kumarakom route across Vembanad Lake.

At ₹90,000 per night (ex-GST) for the whole boat it is the top of our range. That works out at ₹15,000 per room or ₹7,500 per head across twelve guests, including all meals and the night.

What you get for the money

This is a different class of boat from the rest of the six-bedroom listings, and the difference is space rather than decoration.

• An upper deck built for dining, not just sitting — a long banquet table with sofa seating down both sides and glazing the length of the cabin.
• A separate lounge on the main deck, so the group can split between two rooms instead of everyone sharing one table.
• A buffet counter with chafing dishes, which is how food is served to a group of this size rather than plated at the table.
• Six en-suite bathrooms, glass shower enclosures, stone feature walls and backlit mirrors.
• Air conditioning on demand in every bedroom, not on a generator schedule.

Bedrooms are individually finished rather than identical — green tufted, grey panelled, cream — each with a king bed, a wardrobe, a window onto the water and its own bathroom.

Who it suits

Groups of ten to twelve who want one boat rather than three: a family travelling together, a milestone birthday or anniversary, a small corporate group, or a wedding party the night before.

Compared with booking three 2-bedroom boats for the same twelve people, the boats would not necessarily moor together — each captain picks a mooring on the day — so a group can end up split across a kilometre of bank for the best part of the trip. On one boat, everyone eats at the same table.

The Alleppey–Kumarakom route

This boat runs the longer crossing toward Kumarakom rather than staying in the Alleppey canals, which means more open water on Vembanad Lake and a wider horizon from the upper deck. The captain sets the exact route on the day around water level and weather.

Day cruises

Also available as a day cruise at ₹3,000 per person, with a minimum of 15 guests. Nobody needs a bedroom on a day trip, so the boat comfortably carries a larger party than it sleeps — the deck and the banquet table are the constraint, not the beds.

Overnight cruise

Check in at 12:00 PM and check out at 9:00 AM the next day. Cruising pauses between 5:00 PM and 7:00 AM, when the boat anchors with the crew onboard. All meals are included — freshly cooked Kerala, South and North Indian dishes served onboard.

Guests beyond the twelve beds are ₹3,000 per head.
