THE HOTEL
Standing amidst an unbelievably beautiful paradise of mangrove forests, emerald green paddy fields and coconut groves interspersed with enchanting waterways and canals adorned with white lilies, the Zuri Kumarakom represents total escapism - but with local culture and fascinating insights within easy reach.

Opened in 2006, The Zuri Kumarakom, Kerala Resort & Spa was named 'Best Resort Spa Hotel in India' in 2007 and 2008, and it is easy to see why.  Quite apart from the astonishing location, this resort is genuinely beautiful in its own right - from the public areas to the plush villas, cottages and rooms, some with private pools.

The rooms mix contemporary and traditional styles to create interiors which are both relaxed and fun. Simple décor is enlivened by vibrant colours, but without ever compromising on comfort as evidenced by the huge, super-comfortable beds.
