Romance-Filled Boutique Kerala and Maldives Honeymoon
This honeymoon is for those looking for a taster of southern India before a week of blissful relaxation in the Maldives. This itinerary focuses in on the key highlights of Kerala – the backwaters and Cochin – and includes a week at the fabulous, chic Baros in the Maldives.
Your honeymoon begins at the small, intimate Old Harbour Hotel, in the heart of Fort Kochi. Just a short stroll from the iconic Chinese fishing nets, Old Harbour is a 300-year-old heritage mansion, offering timeless elegance and a super comfortable stay. After exploring the spice trading history and backstreets of Fort Kochi, you will move on to Coconut Lagoon in the backwaters. Chill out here for a day or two and take a leisurely cruise along the palm-fringed backwaters onboard your own private houseboat.
Head back then to Cochin and fly on to the Maldives and on to the legendary Baros Maldives, one of the region's iconic resorts. Expect a natural island paradise with swaying palms over pristine white sand beaches and an exquisite lagoon and house reef that can be explored directly from the beach. Luxurious rooms, gourmet dining, watersports, spa treatments, and complete relaxation will be the order of the day.
