These stilted cottages are connected by wooden bridges over small canals, creating a floating village atmosphere.

Specialized Ayurvedic wellness packages are included with accommodation, offering treatments like massages and facial therapies in the on-site spa.

Bird watching walks through the sanctuary and canal cruises exploring the backwaters are also available.
