Top Sightseeing Spots Near Holiday Island
When you stay with us at Holiday Island Boutique Villa, you aren’t just
visiting the backwaters; you are living in them. Here are the best spots to
explore nearby
Munroe Island (Mundrothuruthu)
Sightseeing and short boat rides to this remarkable island cluster can be
arranged on request.
The Experience: We recommend a private canoe cruise through the narrow
canals. You’ l witness the rhythmic lifestyle of the locals—coir retting and
prawn farming—al while shaded by a dense canopy of coconut palms.
The “Sinking Island” of Sambranikodi
A unique phenomenon where you can walk on a submerged sandbar in
the middle of the lake.
The Experience: It’s an ethereal feeling to stand in ankle-deep water with
the vast backwaters stretching in every direction.
Kalada River & Mangrove Trails
Where the river meets the lake, you’l find some of the most biodiverse
mangrove forests in Kerala.
The Experience: Perfect for birdwatchers. Keep an eye out for the vibrant
Blue Kingfisher or the White-belied Sea Eagle.
