Backwaters - a unique web of lakes, lagoons, canals and rivers - are an integral part of Kerala's Tourism Scenario. A Journey through the curving and winding backwaters of Kerala is an experience of returning to nature. Now-a-days backwater tourism is something special to Kerala. And Houseboats go a long way in actualizing the many backwater oriented tourism possibilities. Houseboat holidays have become popular in the backwaters of Kerala and provide an extremely soothing experience.


Soma Houseboats operated by Somatheeram Beach Resorts Group, Kovalam, offers the opportunity of a life time to view the scenic beauty of Kerala by traversing the backwaters. Soma Houseboats are mini-mobile cottages. Most of them have two cabins, including a sit out, sundeck, bedroom and private bath. Interior is fully covered by wooden panels. To assist the tourists, the Houseboats have guides and a crew of experienced hands.


Relishing the Traditional Kerala cuisine and dishes made out of local fishes, served by the crew members, the Houseboats takes one to a fascinating cruise at a leisurely and relaxing pace. There are halts in between to stretch your legs on the shore, take in a quick bottle of fresh sweet toddy from a local pub, or just climb up a coconut tree. As one duration boat hire ends, what remains is a hand full of lifelong memory.
