The Boat Company Muhamma Luxury Houseboat Experience

02 Days / 01 Night

Start Point : Kayippuram Jetty, Muhamma, Alappuzha, Kerala

Experience the peaceful beauty of Kerala’s backwaters with The Boat Company, operating from Kayippuram Jetty in Muhamma, a quieter and more nature-focused stretch of the Vembanad Lake backwaters.

Unlike the crowded houseboat jetties around central Alleppey, Muhamma offers a calmer cruising environment with rich natural surroundings and easy access to some of the most scenic areas of Vembanad Lake.

The highlight of the fleet is Lexica, an award-winning two-bedroom ultra-luxury houseboat featuring private Jacuzzis, a massage room, sauna, live kitchen, pool table, bar counter, and spacious upper-deck areas.

Along with luxury accommodation, guests can enjoy unique backwater experiences including Chinese fishing nets, Pathiramanal Island, clam shelling, onboard or shoreside barbecues, swimming at the dockside pool, and sunrise and sunset experiences.
