Tranquil Backwater Heritage on the Shores of Vembanad Lake
Accredited with the premier Diamond Grade classification by Kerala Tourism since 2005,
Mylanthra Riverside Heritage Homestay is an authentic riverside sanctuary resting
gracefully along the Vembanad backwaters in Palluruthy, Cochin. Crafted with indigenous plinthite stone
masonry, lime-washed finishes, and antique terracotta tiles beneath exposed timber ceilings, this historic
bungalow naturally stays airy and cool throughout the year.
The homestead extends across a verdant 1.25-acre private grove abundant in mature coconut
palms, mango, chikku, guava, and jackfruit trees. A dedicated freshwater pond invites travelers to
participate in leisurely fish feeding, while the back garden unfolds directly to the water's edge—where
steady lake breezes and a chorus of tropical wetland birds greet every sunrise and sunset.
Right alongside the historic residence stands the dedicated River-Facing Cottage—a charming
waterfront retreat that mirrors classic Kerala architecture with clay-tiled roofs and timber accents while
offering an expansive private balcony, climate-controlled comfort, mosquito-proof screening, and modern
en-suite bathrooms.
You are warmly hosted by Mr. Basil Mylanthra, a retired senior multinational executive, and
Mrs. Annie Basil, celebrated for her delicious traditional Kerala cooking. Guests enjoy
complimentary homemade Kerala breakfasts each morning, with bespoke lunches and dinners arranged either at
nearby scenic backwater eateries or prepared to taste.
