Philipkutty’s Farm is a charming family-run farm-island with 6 waterfront cottages and great food. An excellent opportunity to enjoy the real Keralan experience in a fascinating location, with a caring family to look after you. It is a special place, as it provides something different, especially for those who prefer small, friendly places, and it is the perfect hideaway for the bespoke traveller. Your privacy is assured, as the waterfront villas are entirely separate from the family residence, and independent from each other. All this is set on a beautiful farm island, which was reclaimed from the backwaters of Lake Vembanad. The working farm, which practices sustainable/organic methods of farming, is two metres below the lake level and produces coconut, banana, fruit and vegetables. Accessible by road up to the bank opposite the farm and villas, it is the ‘vallam’ (country boat) that will finally take you and your luggage across the wide backwater to this beautiful island.
