Situated on the banks of the largest lake in Kerala, these beautiful villas offer all the basic amenities in a serene tropical setting tempered by the lake breeze. In addition to being spotless, all the villas are equipped with hot water, towels, and basic toiletries. The home-cooked meals provided on the premises are also a welcome treat, especially given the... More

We stayed at VLVs for only two nights in December 2012 and enjoyed every minute. The resort is right on the lake and it makes for some stunning views. Thomas, and his brother Simon, were the most incredible hosts and made us feel extremely welcome. The food is also very good and plentiful. Whilst at the resort we visited the... More

I stayed a couple of years ago at VLV and so it was a pleasure to be able to return and find things are still going well here. It was lovely to be welcomed back, and I am pleased that the hospitality, food and welcome were as warm as ever. The place hasn't changed and the standards have been maintained.... More
