Alappuzha, Kerala
A boutique heritage retreat on the edge of the backwaters.
Four rooms, a natural pool, and a private garden inside a lovingly preserved family home — a fully gated, pollution-free escape close to the lake.
A peaceful heritage retreat
Step into a slower, simpler way of life.
Welcome to The Roots Heritage, a charming boutique heritage retreat where traditional architecture, nature, and modern comfort come together. Built with warm wood, traditional clay tiles, and the character of a bygone era, our home offers an authentic glimpse into village living — surrounded by lush greenery and close to the serene lake.
Our fully gated and private property keeps you in a peaceful, pollution-free environment, away from the rush of everyday life. Take a refreshing dip in our natural pool, wander along quiet village paths, or simply relax and enjoy the gentle rhythm of life around you. Here, heritage is not just something to admire — it is something to experience.
Stay in comfort
Four rooms, one heritage experience.
Our four thoughtfully designed rooms offer a peaceful and comfortable stay while preserving the charm and character of our traditional heritage home.
Family Luxury Rooms
Space, comfort, and privacy
Our two spacious Family Luxury Rooms are designed for families and small groups seeking extra space and privacy. With a warm heritage ambience and carefully chosen furnishings, they provide a relaxing home-away-from-home experience — the beauty of traditional surroundings with every modern comfort you need.
Executive Luxury Rooms
Intimate, refined, and tranquil
Our two Executive Luxury Rooms offer an intimate and refined stay, ideal for couples, solo travellers, or business guests looking for comfort and tranquillity. Thoughtfully appointed interiors blend the charm of heritage with contemporary conveniences, in a home filled with history, character, and warmth.

Outdoors
The garden, the pool, and the quiet in between.
The grounds are as much a part of the stay as the rooms — a natural pool, a tiled poolside sitting area, and corners made for slowing down.
