Visit Vaamika Island if you're looking for privacy, peace, unbelievable service, warm heritage rooms, luxury, interesting architecture and quirky collections of very interesting people :) You will not want to leave this place and...

We are going to leave Vaamika Island next Monday and I spent here with my wife in past 4 days, it’s an unforgettable memory and great experience to stay here. We are lucky to stay in Sun Rise which is amazing building with 85 years of history, I loved the private pool and enjoying the reading time on lounge. Nibin... More

We came to Vaamika for a long weekend and could not have been more pleased. The historic Kerala homes have been reconstructed on the island which provides a lot of the charm and ambience. The staff were impeccable - the service was great and they looked after us. We loved the food and even sneaked into the kitchen to learn... More

The minute we stepped onto the boat to take us to the island we felt special! We stayed in the High Noon residence. It could not have been better. The views from everywhere were stunning and the pool perfection. Nipin looked after us fantastically - from serving all the meals, preparing some of the starters, setting up a candlelit supper...

We recently spent two weeks in India visiting the Golden Triangle region and Kerala followed by five days in the Maldives staying on the island of Baros (highly recommended). Having spent many hours planning our trip, we hit the jackpot with the Green Lagoon. Our short stay there was the highlight of our time in India. From the moment we... More

Green Lagoon Resort demonstrates how tourism should work: creating meaningful employment while fostering a genuine appreciation of local culture and customs. Rather than accepting wasteful practices that increasingly degrade much the environment in other parts of Kerala, this is a resort where local craftsmanship is showcased as an integral part of hospitality. Its staff grows much of the vegetable that... More

Excellent place! Kerala's little Venice. Arrive by boat to your front door and private island in the middle of a huge lake. Klaus is very very charming and his museum very under rated. Full of beautiful objects and an architects dream. With maybe 0.5 acres of land or more our cottage was truly private. Swim and wander as nature intended.... More

Stayed for 9 days with my partner and the views from the resort can't be bettered. The concept of a small number of rooms on a small island is great but there are still some areas for improvement in terms of delivering on the big promises made on the website. The rooms (what they call their residences) are good with... More

Green Lagoon was the perfect haven for our last few days in India and a heavenly, serene and tranquil retreat yet just minutes away from the noise and bustle. The food, setting and service are balanced just right to give one of the best experiences you could wish for. The museum on the island adds an extra special touch and... More
