7 mins. read

Welcome to God’s own country!

From the verdant tea gardens in Idukki to the archaic houseboats in Kumarakom, from the tranquil tree houses amid the Athirappilly woods to the rejuvenating spa retreats in Munnar, Kerala has it all that can turn your honeymoon into a cherishable escapade. Believed to be one among the ten paradises in the world, making it a splendid honeymoon destination. So, if you are planning your honeymoon, here are a few spots that you must visit in Kerala to make your jaunt a lot more exciting and romantic:

1. Munnar

Munnar bestows an ethereal view of its craggy hills and lush green tea gardens that make it a splendid honeymoon spot in Kerala. Wake up amid the verdant pastures of Munnar and step out to smell the refreshing fragrance of tea, listen to the chirping birds, and witness the breathtaking view of the city with your better half. Also, do not forget to stopover at the gushing Lakkam waterfalls and soak in the immense beauty of this quaint town. You can also visit the Echo Point where you can tell the world how much you love your special someone and listen to your voice until the echo fades away.

2. Alleppey

Officially known as Alappuzha, Alleppey borders the Laccadive Sea where you can enjoy a relaxing shikara ride with your spouse while exploring the endless paddy fields, isolated islands, and the languid backwaters. Also, do not miss out the stunning sunset where you can witness the sky with a blend of orange, red, yellow and pink hues until the sun descends into the water underneath. Alleppey also has some of the most mesmerising palm-fringed canals, rejuvenating Ayurvedic resorts, and gently flowing backwaters that are bound to make your honeymoon a lot more romantic and dreamy. The secluded resorts, picturesque views and idyllic backwaters make Alleppey one of the best honeymoon places in Kerala.

3. Wayanad

Wayanad is known for its heart-shaped lake located halfway to the top of the Chembra peak which makes it one of the must-visit honeymoon places in Kerala. The lake is even believed to be perennial as it is filled with water at all times of the year. You can trek your way up to the lake with your spouse and witness this spell-binding natural phenomenon. Wayanad is replete with spouting waterfalls, trekking trails, sprawling spice plantations, ancient caves, and luxury resorts which will help you spend your holidays in utmost leisure with your significant other.

4. Kovalam

Kovalam is another spectacular honeymoon destination in Kerala that is great for couples looking for a laid-back and relaxing holiday. With some of the most luxurious beachside resorts, spotless beaches, and the landmark lighthouse overlooking the Kovalam shoreline and the Arabian Sea, the place offers a dreamy backdrop to recreate a whimsical scene out of a romantic play.  The view is even better from the top of the lighthouse where you can enjoy a panoramic view of the entire Kovalam shoreline. While you and your partner stand at the summit of the lighthouse with your hands intertwined, you will feel that the world has come to a standstill.

5. Kumarakom

Nestled amidst coconut groves and verdant rice paddies, Kumarakom is a basically a cluster of numerous man-made islands reclaimed from the lake. Being one of the best honeymoon destinations in Kerala, Kumarakom lets you spend some quality time with your loved one at its ancestral homes that are now transformed into luxurious villas. You and your spouse can also indulge in some leisure activities like fishing, boating, and bird-watching. The ever-famous Kumarakom bird sanctuary is one of the most preferred spots for migratory birds and is surely a treat for an ornithologist.

6. Thekkady

If you are a couple who wishes to explore wildlife and nature up close, Thekkady must be a part of your Kerala honeymoon tour. Home to the largest tiger reserve in the country, Thekkady gives you a taste of the wilderness of Periyar. With a jungle ride at the Periyar Wildlife Sanctuary, you will be able to witness Bengal tiger, Indian elephant, Nilgiri tahr, and even the endangered lion-tailed macaque, black baza, and Nilgiri thrush, in their natural habitat. Do not forget to visit Chellar Kovil that is just a stone’s throw away from Thekkady. The place is replete with gushing waterfalls and cascades where you can rejuvenate after your jungle safari. Make sure you have this included in the Kerala honeymoon package that you take.

7. Poovar Island

Your honeymoon tour in Kerala is incomplete without a sojourn at the Poovar Island. Lying at the southernmost tip of Trivandrum, Poovar is flanked by the Arabian Sea and the Neyyar River on either side which makes it a natural wonder.  With the swaying coconut trees, the languid backwaters, golden sand beaches, and beautiful lakes Poovar is a splendid getaway if you are planning a relaxing escape with your special someone. To make this holiday a lot more idyllic and dream-like, you and your spouse can stay at a floating cottage which is an incredible experience in itself. This will leave you with only one mode of transportation – boats. With this, you and your spouse can explore the natural surroundings up close.

8. Varkala

Perched on the edge of lofty cliffs, Varkala boasts of a splendid geographical setting making it one of the best places to visit in Kerala for honeymoon. Varkala is also known for its hippie culture and the shacks on the cliff that serve the most scrumptious seafood. You can wander along the cliff trails, bathe in the rejuvenating water springs or bask the sun at the beach with your loved one. Also, staying at the wooden cottages along the Arabian Sea is bound to bestow you with enthralling experience. Do not forget to visit the two-thousand-year-old temple – the Janardana Swami Temple where you can seek blessings for the new life you are about to embark with your partner.

Home to the lush tea gardens, serene backwaters, fascinating dance forms, classical music and artisanal handicrafts, Kerala is one of the most enthralling spots for newly-weds. So whether you are an adventure-junky or laid-back tourist, you and your spouse will find a shed load of options in Kerala to make your first trip extraordinary.
