Discover our story
Founded by Pramod Kaipattil, a native of this beautiful region, Malabar Houseboat was born from a deep love for the local culture and a passion for sharing its charm with the world. We wanted to create a service that wasn’t just about tourism, but about offering a genuine glimpse into the peaceful way of life on the backwaters. Our journey began with a single, beautifully crafted houseboat and a simple promise: to treat every guest like family and to showcase the very best of our home.
From those humble beginnings, our passion has only deepened. The name ‘Malabar Houseboat’ itself is a tribute to the rich heritage of the Malabar coast and our pledge to offer a majestic, comfortable experience. We believe every journey on our houseboats should feel special, like a stay in a floating palace, where the unparalleled beauty of nature meets the warmth of true Keralan hospitality.
