The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Delicious Authentic Cuisine

The restaurant at The World Backwaters offers an very nice array of authentic Kerala dishes, with fresh local fish that are simply divine. Don't miss the breakfast buffet, which features a unique Kerala style dish every morning. The head chef even personally checked to ensure our meals were perfect!

Spacious and Comfortable Suites

We stayed in a lake view room that was not only clean but also spacious and well-equipped with luxury amenities. The room opened up to a beautiful view, making our mornings extra special. Having a private pool was an amazing touch, allowing us convenient access for a refreshing swim anytime!

Relaxing by the Pool

The pool area at the resort is absolutely stunning, located right next to the backwaters. We spent hours lounging by the infinity pool, admiring the picturesque views of the Vembanad Lake. It truly felt like a slice of paradise, and the atmosphere was perfect for unwinding.

Great Family-Friendly Activities

The resort goes above and beyond with its amenities for children. My kids loved the dedicated pool section, and we even enjoyed cycling around the expansive hotel together. There are plenty of activities to keep the little ones entertained while still allowing adults to relax.

My stay at The World Backwaters was quite an experience! The serene setting provided a lovely escape from daily life, and the staff made me feel exceptionally welcome. The amenities were mostly nice, but there were a few maintenance issues that stood out. The dining was overall good, yet not every meal hit the mark. It's a great choice for those looking for a peaceful getaway, but I wouldn't recommend it for long stays due to the remote location.
