India is full of amazing sights and beautiful places, but the backwaters of Kerala sit proudly atop many a bucket list, and with good reason.

This holiday, inspired by the BBC documentary The Millionaires’ Holiday Club, combines two of Kerala’s best features – luxury hospitality and its iconic houseboats.

All of our holidays are completely tailor-made and will be personalised to you. This is an example itinerary to inspire your next holiday.
