Your honeymoon is not just a corridor in a hotel. You have just been through the biggest experience of your life. All this pomp and circumstance. All this family. All this noise. All this emotion. It has been so exhausting. But now, after all this has passed, it is just you and your beloved. The last thing you need is a hotel lobby. A hotel breakfast with 200 other honeymooners. A hotel room that is like every other hotel room in this hotel. You need something that is like it was built just for this occasion. Cherai is such a place. Cherai is a stretch of beach where the Arabian sea meets the backwaters on an island. It is 35 kilometers north of Kochi. Cherai does not have any tourist scene. No promenade. Just coconut trees. Clean beaches. Peaceful backwaters. Silence that can only be achieved by being really remote from the hustle and bustle of everyday living. And in Cherai is Ambadis. Two villas that is a honeymoon experience that couples from all over India and the world need.
Why Cherai for a Honeymoon?
There are a lot of beautiful places in kerala. There are hills in Munnar. There are houseboats in Alleppey. And there is a famous beach in Kovalam. But Cherai has something that these places do not have in the same sense. Cherai has a backwater and a beach in one place of land, one just a walk away from the other, in a stillness that is almost sacred.And when it is a question of a honeymoon, this is very important. You want mornings to stretch out long. You want evenings to belong to yourself. You want a view that will change your breathing. You want a place where there is nothing for you to do, and this is a luxury rather than a bore.
Cherai offers all this. And two villas in Ambadis will place you right in the middle of the best that Cherai has to offer.
The Two Best Honeymoon Villas in Cherai
Ambadis 1BHK Private Beach View Villa – For Couples Who Want the Sea
There is a morning that only comes to pass if you have the sea in view from your bed.
There is a kind of light that comes in through the window that carries the sea with it – a kind of light that cannot be replicated by any other kind of illumination. Softer, more alive. And if you wake up on your honeymoon morning to that kind of illumination, with your partner by your side and the Arabian Sea in view outside the window, something shifts inside you that cannot be replicated by any resort in the world.
The Ambadis 1BHK Private Beach View Villa has been designed with this kind of moment in mind – a full one-bedroom villa that is yours alone, from the time you check in until the time you check out.
Evenings are a completely different story. “Cherai’s beach is a west-facing beach. In other words, it faces towards the Arabian Sea. In the season—from October to March—sunset is spectacular. Expansive. Golden. Completely undisturbed. Go down to the beach in the evenings. Return to your own villa. You’ll know why people come back to this place year after year.Ideal for: Couples wanting sea view, beach walks, and romantic sunsets over the Arabian Sea
Unique feature: Direct view of Arabian Sea from a fully private 1BHK villa
Location: Cherai – walking distance to beach, only 45 minutes from Kochi airport
Ambadis Lake View Villa — For Couples Who Want Stillness
Where the 1BHK Beach View Villa was romantic in the way of movies and space, the Lake View Villa was romantic in the way that changes you.
The view from the villa was the backwaters. Yes, the expanse of water that the state of Kerala has been known for the world over for the last few centuries or so. And if you have not had the privilege of waking up in the morning and looking out at the backwaters in the early morning dawn, then you don’t know the meaning of stillness. It was flat and calm. It was peaceful and serene. Everything was quiet in a way that made you feel like the world had decided to make today a day with no hurry.”That’s the first morning of the rest of your life together. And it happens here, at this window, with this view.”
The Lake View Villa is for the couple that wants to experience Kerala, not just view it. It is for the couple that wants their honeymoon not just to be a series of experiences, but also a state of mind. It is for the couple that wants to enjoy a leisurely breakfast over a long stretch of time with no place to get to, and feel that time has stood completely still for them.Best for: For those who seek the ultimate in relaxation, backwater views, and a completely private retreat experience
Standout feature: Backwater views in a completely private boutique villa experience
Location: Cherai – proximity to beach and town, 45 minutes from Kochi Airport
Which Villa is Right for Your Honeymoon?
One question that may help you in making a decision is – what do you want to wake up to?
If you want to wake up with a view of Arabian Sea, you enjoy walking on the beach, and you want to be surrounded by the energy of Arabian Sea when you are on your honeymoon, then you may opt for 1BHK Beach View Villa.
If you want to wake up in a place where you are surrounded by maximum calmness, you enjoy backwaters of Kerala, and you want to enjoy a leisurely stay on your honeymoon with a minimum of efforts required, then you may opt for Lake View Villa.
Both villas are totally private. Both villas are personally managed by the Ambadis team. And both villas are a short walk from Cherai Beach. And both villas offer a honeymoon experience that is unlike a hotel experience because it isn’t one.
Ayurveda on Your Honeymoon
Many honeymooners in Ambadis also like to add in a stay in a villa and a series of Ayurvedic treatments, and once you’ve done this, you know why!
Ayurveda is an ancient art of healing that is part of the history of Kerala. It is not a hotel spa. It is a system of therapeutic treatments which utilize ancient herbal oils that have been used for thousands of years.
There is something so soothing about being completely pampered for an hour while the backwaters glide lazily by your window after the stress of a wedding and traveling that comes afterwards. It is one of the most relaxing and intimate things that a honeymoon has to offer.
Some of the popular Ayurvedic treatments available for the honeymoon couples:
Abhyanga – oil massage
Shirodhara – pouring oil on the forehead
Pizhichil – oil therapy
You can contact Ambadis Villas directly on WhatsApp for Ayurveda treatments.
