If you want to enjoy peace and quiet, there isn't a better place to stay than Purity! This small resort at the Vembanad Lake is a jewel and proof of very good taste. The staff is extremely friendly, the food is exquisite and the view of the lake is magnificent. Take a trip with the discovery, their houseboat, on the... More

We spent two nights at Purity just after Christmas, and it was stunning. Calm, isolated, on the edge of the most beautiful lake. This is a place for doing absolutely nothing - for sitting watching the colours of the water change as the sun moves across the sky, for sipping a cold cocktail and eating beautiful food. For rising late... More

We spent 2 nights at Purity during our 4 week honeymoon to India. It's a beautiful property (just 6 rooms) and part of the Malabar chain. It's very isolated as you can't really go off property (there's not much to do nearby) except to boat on the lake, which is gorgeous. I highly recommend you take the canoe trip with... More

We have never stayed in such a beautiful room, done in turquoise and white and burnt orange, with beautiful furniture and art. The bathroom, with a giant whirlpool tub in the middle, was as big as our living room. Immaculate, gorgeous aryuvedic toiletries. Lobby is unassuming, comfortable, with a bookshelf and great antique and contemporary Indian art. Staff will bring... More

I hope this is the correct Purity. The Purity I am writing this review on is part of the 'Malabar Escapes' properties based in Kerala. We stayed herefor 4 nights as part of our New Years vacation. We had no hot water in our room so were moved to a big suite as part of an apology gesture but unfortunately... More

We stayed 2 nights at this hotel and loved every minute. It ispse tend, beautifully furnished and the food was excellent. The most important aspect for us is service - which is about the best we have experienced in our wide travels. Nothing is too much trouble for the delightful staff and manager and their attentive service made the stay... More

We too stayed at Purity over New Year, 4 nights in all. Like the previous reviewer, we loved it. This is, however, a place which won't appeal to those looking for absolute pristine luxury. There were just a few slightly unpolished edges when you compare it to, say, some of Sri Lanka's über stylish 'boutique hotels'. Still, if you appreciate... More

We stayed here over the New Year period and had a wonderful time. The building and environs are stunning. The Venamabad suite is incredible. The staff could not be more helpful - they were really lovely people and nothing was too much trouble. The food is amazing. Everything about this place is special. The staff laid on some fascinating dance... More

We stayed at this property in the last official week of monsoon, so the property was not very full. We had the Vembanad suite and one of the regular deluxe rooms, and both were beautiful. This property is much less generic than the bigger resorts nearby, and offers a variety of Ayurvedic spa treatments and boat tour options. I would... More
