Brigade Luxury Island Resort at Vaikom: 70 Villas on the Kerala Backwaters
3 & 4 BHK · Price on Request
Brigade Luxury Island Resort at Vaikom is a pre-launch backwater resort designed around privacy, wellness and the rhythm of the Kerala waterways. Brigade Group is developing the property in partnership with Marriott International, and it will carry The Ritz-Carlton name. The resort is positioned for travellers who want a complete island retreat rather than a conventional hotel stay.
The lifestyle promise is built on the water. Each of the 70 villas comes with its own private pool, so the day can move from morning swims to quiet afternoons on a private terrace without leaving the property. Wellness and leisure lead the programme, with a spa, a fitness centre, a yoga and meditation deck, and five dining venues that draw on the flavours of the region.
The design approach favours calm, open spaces that let the backwater landscape stay in view. Villas are planned in 3 BHK and 4 BHK formats, with layouts that work for families, couples and small groups. Materials and planning are chosen for comfort and longevity, so the homes feel settled within their surroundings.
Vaikom is a place where the pace of the water shapes daily life, and this is a rare moment to secure a home on the island at the start of its development. Brigade Group brings a long track record in building and hospitality, along with a growing Kerala footprint that includes Kochi. Early engagement gives buyers the opportunity to shape their choice of villa before the resort opens.
Brigade Luxury Island Resort at Vaikom invites you to explore a pre-launch offering that combines Ritz-Carlton service with the quiet of the Kerala backwaters. Speak with our team to learn more about the villa types, the island setting and the journey ahead.

Island backwater site, Kottayam district, Kerala · Kottayam
Vaikom is an island town on the Vembanad backwaters in Kottayam district, Kerala, where a slow pace of life sits alongside one of the state's best-known temple towns. The Vaikom Mahadeva Temple anchors the town's cultural identity, and the surrounding waterways give the area a character shaped by lakes, canals and paddy fields. Kumarakom, one of Kerala's best-known tourism destinations, lies nearby, placing the island within easy reach of a well-established leisure circuit.
The island site offers a rare combination of seclusion and access. Kochi is about 33 km to the south, Kottayam is about 33 km to the north, and a speedboat ride from Bolgatty Jetty in Kochi takes 40 to 60 minutes through the backwaters. Vaikom Road railway station on the Ernakulam to Kottayam to Kollam line gives the town a direct rail link, and the road network through Vechoor connects the area to Cherthala and beyond.

India's first water metro system opened in April 2023 and links island communities across Kochi by fast electric ferry. Its network strengthens the region's commuting options and supports the growing appeal of the backwater corridor.
Terminals across seven locations, including Vaikom, have been built under National Waterway 3. The network improves cargo and passenger movement along the Kerala backwaters and supports tourism and local trade.
A major road project is planned through Vechoor to connect Cherthala with Manarcaud. The corridor will shorten travel across central Kerala and improve access to the Vaikom area.
Vaikom Road station sits on the Ernakulam to Kottayam to Kollam line, offering rail access to the wider Kerala network. Its connections support commuting to Kochi and Kottayam.
Cochin International Airport at Nedumbassery is about 45 km from Vaikom Road station. The airport gives international and domestic travellers direct access to the Vaikom and Kumarakom region.
Vaikom sits on the Vembanad backwaters, a setting shaped by temple traditions, waterways and paddy fields. The island location offers a sense of place that few resort properties in Kerala can match, with Kumarakom and Kochi within easy reach.
The resort will carry The Ritz-Carlton name under Marriott International, bringing global hospitality standards to the Kerala backwaters. The brand's service model and loyalty network extend the appeal of the property to frequent travellers.
All 70 villas come with their own private pool, giving every home a personal retreat. Privacy and direct access to the water shape the daily experience, from early morning swims to quiet evenings.
The resort's programme centres on wellness, with The Ritz-Carlton Spa, a fitness centre and a yoga and meditation deck. Five dining venues and leisure options round out a stay designed for rest and renewal.
Brigade Group was founded in Bengaluru in 1986 and has delivered more than 300 buildings and over 110 million square feet across its portfolio. Its hospitality arm already operates hotels in Kochi, which supports its Kerala ambitions.
The resort is reached by road from Kochi and Kottayam and by speedboat from Bolgatty Jetty in Kochi. Vaikom Road station and the planned Vechoor road corridor add to the site's connectivity as the region grows.
