Homestays in Kerala

If you are planning a long duration visit to Kerala, a traditional homestay could be worth considering. Most of the homestay options are located at a distance from crowded urban areas, in large colonial homes sheltered between coconut palms.

Kerala Home Stays are known to extend the traditional hospitality the state is known for, and offer a complete rural life experience. These home stays are generally family homes, guest houses, eco lodges, camps, back water homes or hide away homes. Quite different from normal stay options, they are usually located in remote areas near forests and plantations. The host is often a member of the owner's family or a caretaker.

Most of the old colonial bungalows belonging to the British, Dutch and Portuguese have also been restored as home stays in Kerala. Despite their private setting in the midland slopes and spice plantation retreats, these neo modern homes offer exceptional comforts.

Each of these homes has comfortable well-appointed rooms, functional period furniture and personalized services. Hospitality being one of the most valued traditions of Kerala culture, guests are treated with respect and affection.

Homestays are an ideal retreat for couples and families seeking a private holiday. You’ll find a number of home stay options at almost all the beaches, backwaters, plantations, forests and in the farmhouses and heritage villas in Kochi and Munnar.
