Few honeymoon settings beat a private houseboat drifting through the Kerala backwaters at sunset. Here’s how to make it special.
Which boat to pick
For couples, a 1-bedroom private houseboat is intimate and perfect, while a luxury or premium single/double adds extra comfort and space. We also offer dedicated honeymoon packages. See honeymoon houseboats or the wider Luxury range.
A private boat (the whole boat is yours) is the right choice for a honeymoon — you get the deck, the dining and the crew to yourselves.
What makes it romantic
- Sunset from the deck — the boat anchors for the evening, so you’ll be settled somewhere quiet as the light goes golden over the water.
- A private chef onboard cooking fresh Kerala meals just for the two of you.
- Total quiet at night, moored away from the crowds, with the sounds of the backwaters.
Ask us in advance about little touches — a cake, flowers, or a special dinner setup can often be arranged.
Timing tips
Check in at 12:00 PM and you’ll have the afternoon cruise, sunset at anchor, dinner onboard and a peaceful night before a 9:00 AM checkout. For the best weather and clearest sunsets, the November–February window is ideal (see best time to visit).
