How often do you look out of your hotel room to look straight at the infinity pool which meets the green of the backwaters {Lake Vembanad} which then meets the dazzling blue of the Arabian Sea? Hardly ever, possibly. That’s exactly why the Kumarakom Lake Resort is such a bucket-list worthy hotel. In addition, the villas are made in the traditional Kerala style, so if you could stop staring at infinity, then a super glamorous room awaits you anyway.
