For first-time visitors to India, Kerala offers the gentlest welcome. Known as God’s Own Country, it is a land of palm-fringed canals, drifting houseboats and a rhythm that moves with the water. Days unfold through Ayurvedic rituals, backwater cruises and unhurried coastal walks, before the journey concludes in the Maldives, where overwater villas and turquoise lagoons bring barefoot luxury to its purest form.
13 nights combining India’s tranquil backwaters with the Maldives’ pristine lagoons — including luxury accommodation, flights, private transfers, private guides, Ayurvedic experiences, a backwaters cruise and five nights at Niyama Private Islands. From €5,699 per person.
Kerala is where family travel slows down. In Cochin, history and spice markets provide a colourful introduction before you move into the backwaters, where private cruises and farm visits offer space to explore at your own rhythm. In Mararikulam, mornings might mean yoga by the sea while children cycle along the coast or join a cooking demonstration.
The Maldives then takes over as your playground — four nights in an overwater villa with the ocean at your door. Families can snorkel among coral gardens, kayak across calm lagoons or gather on the sand for dinners under the stars. It’s a journey that balances discovery with ease, designed so everyone finds their own pace.

Kerala rewards stillness — take time to watch life unfold on the water from your verandah. On Marari Beach, the simple rhythm of local fishing boats returning at dawn is as memorable as any guided excursion. In the Maldives, keep one evening free for a sandbank dinner — it’s the quietest table you’ll ever have.
