Kerala’s famous sculptor Kanai Kunhiraman whose exuberant sculptures dot the greenery has landscaped its gardens. They combine to offer an ideal setting for picnics and day trips. There is a pontoon bridge to the beach, a wading pool for kids, pony rides, a floating restaurant and facilities for minor aqua sports.
The Village is bordered by the Veli lagoon and the Arabian sea. The lagoon here is separated from the sea by a narrow sand bar. Facilities at the village include water sports in the lagoon and an 18-acre waterfront park.
