Had a nice time at the resort. The reception staff were helpful and accommodating and provided nearby rooms even though we booked in the last minute, Rooms were nice with private pools in many rooms. Restaurant staff were also nice with great food, Its not a big resort but beautiful. One thing we disliked was that while we were checking out, all our baggage was kept near the entrance and the staff left us unattended.

We had a very relaxing and pleasant stay at the resort in April 2022. Right from arrival to departure, we were well taken care of. Resort manager Shibeesh, Chef Atul and the entire staff did all they could to keep us and the other guests happy. We recommend this resort for a peaceful, quiet and relaxing holiday.

Niraamaya roughly translates to 'flawless', 'pure' and 'free from impurities' and this pristine resort on Lake Vembanad, the longest backwater lake in India truly lives up to its name. Expect beautiful views of the backwaters from rooms/villas serenaded by by coconut trees, birds of paradise and an unseen variety of flora, indigenous to God's own country. The property is well appointed and provides all luxuries the best of best can boast of. Must say the staff is most hospitable I have ever experienced and go out of their way to make your stay most comfortable. I visited Niraamaya with my wife for our anniversary and we had a staycation on our mind with the best that Kerala has to offer - its cuisine and Ayurveda. And we were not disappointed. Chef Anish ensured 8 out of the 10 meals we had during our 5 day stay were authentic Kerala fare. He whipped us an unforgettable delectable kerala thali (mini sadhya, a celebratory kerala meal). His idiyappam biryani (unique to Niraamaya) is to die for and you cannot have a better dessert than the fresh coconut panacotta. Do ask for his variations of fish and you will not be disappointed. Another unique must have are the banana flower cutlets. Akhil at Cafe Samsara, the in-house eatery takes great care of you and remembers your preferences day after day. We tried Shiro mardhanam, Pada mardhanam, Choorna Pind Swedhanam and Nirvana (Shirodhara + Abhyanga Snana) treatments at the spa during our stay. After the daily grind of our Delhi schedules, the Ayurveda treatments rejuvenated our cores and it seemed like coming back in a new body. Niramaaya experience is the most holistic, refreshing and pampered vacation one can have at Kumarakom. This review will not be complete without mentioning Mridul. He helms everything at Niraamaya is your very own man Friday. If there is absolutely anything that you need, he will get it done for you. An absolute delight to interact with. Book directly for best packages that combine stay, meals and ayurveda. Highly recommended.
