Purity at Lake Vembanad
Or reopened, perhaps. This strange white Italianate villa, backing up directly onto the lake’s shores, is only about a decade old, but it’s been given a thorough renovation by Malabar House. It’s split into four rooms and two suites, one of the latter comprising the villa’s whole upstairs floor — and if your Indian expedition is a large one, Purity is available in its entirety as a villa rental.
Backwater certainly doesn’t mean backwards. Purity comes equipped with wi-fi, flat-screen televisions, spa treatments, swimming pool and teaching kitchen. But the most memorable aspect of the Purity experience is bound to be the most low-tech one — by boat or by beach, the water is the main attraction, and dinner with the backwater as a backdrop is an experience you won’t soon forget.
How to get there: Purity at Lake Vembanad is located only 70 km from Cochin International airport and 8 km from the Alleppey railway station (on the mainline route between Trivandrum and Mumbai).
