ORIGINS

OUR JOURNEY

CHERAI SANCTUARY

Nestled along 300 meters of pristine river frontage in Cherai, Aura Aqua Farm House spans 4.5 acres of tranquil waters and coconut groves. What started as a vision to preserve authentic Kerala backwater living has grown into a serene sanctuary featuring cozy floating huts, traditional country houses, and sustainable aquaculture surrounded by nature.

LOCAL HERITAGE

Our sanctuary honors age-old Pokkali rice farming and aquaculture techniques. Guests connect deeply with native fishermen, discovering time-tested backwater traditions and sustainable living firsthand.

SERENE ESCAPE

Spanning 4.5 acres along the peaceful Cherai river, we invite guests to enjoy floating huts, authentic country lodging, fishing excursions, and breathtaking sunset boat rides across calm coastal waters.

Staying at Aura Aqua Farm House was pure magic. Waking up in a floating hut to the gentle water sound, going fishing with local fishermen, and watching sunset over Cherai river created memories we will cherish forever.
