About Beautiful Alleppey Houseboat
Direct bookings, clear pricing, and authentic backwater stays since 2008.
We are a direct local houseboat operator based in Alappuzha. Our main boarding location is at Pallathuruthy, with select houseboat boardings also available from Punnamada and Kainakary. When you book with us, you speak directly with the fleet owners—no agent commissions, no hidden middleman fees, and no last-minute surprises.
Our Story
Beautiful Alleppey was started back in 2008 by native locals who grew up along the backwater channels of Kuttanad. Over the years, online booking portals made finding an honest houseboat stay confusing—with agents posting stock photos or charging inflated commission fees.
We built our business to keep things simple: show travelers exact photos of the boat they are renting, serve fresh home-style Kerala food cooked right on board, and operate from prime boarding locations. Operating primarily from Pallathuruthy gives our guests a peaceful start directly into the main river routes, while select boats also launch conveniently from Punnamada and Kainakary depending on the route and category you choose.

Every boat in our fleet is fully licensed by the Kerala Maritime Board and inspected every year before the season starts.
