A Guide to Honeymoon in Kerala

First of all, congratulations on stepping into your new life! After all those stressful weeks of prepping and planning for the wedding, you must be exhausted and in want of a much-needed break with your partner. Fear not, for we have lots of ideas to help you unwind in a memorable honeymoon!

Kerala is a blooming honeymoon paradise. Kick back and relax in any of the myriads of romantic destinations spread across the state.

And this post tells you exactly what to do and where to go to make the most of your moments together.

Pick Your Favourite Destination

Picking a honeymoon destination in Kerala is like trying to decide between different flavours of ice-cream. Each place has its own charm and elegance. So consult with your better half and then, decide which place would ideally suit your requirements.

If you have trouble deciding on a destination, then follow these guidelines:

Weather – Consider how the weather would be like during the proposed dates of visit. For instance, the monsoons visit Kerala during the middle of the year, and many places will receive torrential rain. However, if you enjoy the rainy season, you could pick a sweet spot and enjoy the romantic ambience that a cloudy day offers.
Crowds – Ensure that the destination you pick will not be crowded with people. Picking a destination during the tourist season isn’t a good idea as the roads will be heavy with traffic. Also, the prices of everything would be high to take advantage of the tourist inflow. Make sure you pick a destination that is relaxing and provides breathing space.
Accessibility – When picking a destination, ensure that it is not in remote corners of the state, where transport is nearly non-existent. This can create problems in case of emergencies, and travelling to and fro would be a major hassle. Therefore, check beforehand whether there are vehicles plying between your destination and major towns or cities. Othewise you might end up spending a very reclusive honeymoon!

Honeymoon Destinations

Getting down to the destinations, Kerala primarily has 3 types of honeymoon locations:

Hill Stations: Located away from the hustle and bustle of city life, hill stations offer the right mix of solitude and romance in a mystical land. The weather is usually pleasant. And you can enjoy luscious greenery, verdant mountains and sparkling waterfalls. Kerala’s most popular hill stations are Munnar, Vagamon, Idukki and Wayanad.

Beaches: Beaches are synonymous with honeymooners as they offer the perfect dreamland with white sandy beaches, pristine blue water and long coastal lines dotted with coconut trees. Kerala has no dearth of fantastic beaches, where exotic beach resorts offer mouth-watering deals for honeymoons. Kovalam, Alleppey, Varkala and Bekal beaches are some of the most sought after beaches in Kerala. Visiting these places during the winter months can be more enjoyable.

Backwaters: With myriads of lakes and lagoons, Kerala is a haven for backwater honeymooning. There are a few man-mad waterways that form a network, specifically for tourists. Hire a houseboat and cruise through the backwaters while enjoying the fresh cool wind in your hair, serene waters and verdant greenery. These houseboats are fully equipped to handle any requirement you may have. So you can be sure that you will have the best romantic getaway to relax and share with your partner. Alleppey, Kumarakom, Kollam and Kochi are the best locations for enjoying a houseboat honeymoon.
