On a whim after suffering the Mar heat, I decided to take my parents and 4 yr old son out of town. After researching various options (using Trip Advisor!) settled on Soma in Chempu (it is 30 mins from our house in Maradu, which is also on the backwater though without the breeze). Arrival at the hotel is fairly dramatic... More

We chose Soma Palace on a recommendation of a family member. Our arrival was fine, our rooms were good and we are all set to enjoy our last leg of Kerala here. Located on an island, arriving by a motor boat; surrounded by the Vembanad lake & enjoying its serene view was amazing........... Its architecture also reflects Kerala's old traditions... More

Peaceful place and Palace with a beautiful typical Kerala wooden architecture. The service, the food, the surroundings are great. The view on the Vermabadu lake early in the morning and at evening time are breathtaking... with floating fishermen and many flying birds... It's worth staying there for a couple of days to relax and practice yoga facing the lake.

Kerala Soma Palace truly belongs to God's Own Country- Kerala! We visited it in Oct 2012 and it was indeed a beautiful experience. Its built in a island on Vembanad Lake. The Hotel has its own parking lot where u can park ur car before they pick u in a typical Kerala boat. On reaching the island, we were welcomed... More

What a joy and honor to be a guest on the Soma Kerala Palace's island. Surrounded by a lake of floating flowers, waking to birdsong each morning, yoga, ayurveda, handpressed juices, meals catered to my students' desires... definitely an opportunity to repeat. I would recommend this location to any yoga teacher looking to take students on retreat to India. This... More

We visited soma palace as a family. We found the staff well behaved. Air conditioning is terrible, we have to switch on the 2 fan to beat the indian summer. Kerala style food is good and the ambiance also is good. As construction in the area is rampant, there is not much to space to look around and reflect on... More
