Overview

Our fleet of 10 traditional houseboats called "kettuvallams" is designed to complement the tranquil passage on the picturesque backwaters. We are committed to keeping traditions alive, with your support. Each houseboat is furnished comfortably and attractively while hewing close to tradition. The boats have one, two or three air-conditioned bedrooms. All have an open-air living area and a fully- equipped kitchen. From the viewing deck, or through your bedroom's window, and on a canoe through the backwater heartland, you will see simplicity in action, and the result is immediate: slow down, de-stress, rejuvenate. Meals are an essential part of the Xandari Riverscapes experience. With your backwater excursion beginning at noon, sit down to a delectable lunch of classic Kerala cuisine cooked on board. Dinner comes calling under starlit skies on clear nights, at the spot where your boat rests to watch the day close out.
