Kerala moves slowly and that is the point. Spend a night on a houseboat in the Alleppey backwaters, wake up in a tea estate in Munnar, and eat some of the best food in India along the way. Green, gentle and endlessly photogenic.

We wanted somewhere green and quiet after a hard year. The houseboat night was exactly what was promised and the coordinator rearranged our Munnar day when it rained. No fuss at all.

Quiet, private and genuinely restful. The Ayurvedic spa day was booked exactly when we asked for it, not when it suited the resort.
