- About Deluxe Houseboats in Alleppey
A classic ride through Kerala's backwaters
Deluxe houseboats in Kerala are the entry point into the houseboat experience and honestly, many guests feel they don’t need anything more. You get a well-furnished wooden cabin, an attached bathroom, AC in the bedroom at night, and a chef on board who cooks proper Kerala meals throughout the day.
These boats are built the same way the old ketuvallams were. Bamboo poles form the roof. Wooden planks make up the hull, held together with coconut husk rope. It is this tradition that makes a deluxe houseboat in Alleppey different from just another hotel room on water.
