"Amritara Beach Symphony is a little paradise. I loved my bungalow and enjoyed being close to the public beach where local families turn out to watch the sunset and fishermen haul in their catch in the morning. The pool is gorgeous, surrounded by lush greenery. The staff was attentive and helpful and arranged an amazing sunrise backwater boat tour. It felt like home-- would definitely stay again! Expedia needs to remove some of the older reviews for this spot as they don't reflect current...

"Beach was beautiful- World Class! The room was perfect- great size. Food was excellent with good variety for all. Pool was fun and clean. Staff was amazing and helpful. But remember that you are in a resort- best to go out and do some local shopping to get a real feel for the area. Recommend guests to go out on the beach first light to see the fishing boats come in."

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Kainakary?

These accommodations offer direct access to the intricate network of canals and lakes that define the region. You'll find yourself surrounded by coconut groves and lush greenery, with views of local life unfolding along the water's edge. This area is characterized by its tranquil setting, where the primary mode of transport is by boat.

Couples looking for a serene and romantic escape will find this area ideal. Spending time on a houseboat allows for private cruises through the backwaters, with opportunities to witness stunning sunsets and enjoy freshly prepared local cuisine. Resorts often provide similar peaceful settings with comfortable amenities and private balconies overlooking the water.

Travelers seeking a peaceful retreat and a unique cultural experience will appreciate staying directly on the backwaters.
When is the best time to go to Kainakary?

This period is ideal for activities like houseboat cruises, canoeing, and enjoying the outdoor scenery without the heavy rainfall or intense heat.
