A Boutique Backwater Retreat in Kochi
Facing the scenic backwaters of Kerala, Baymaas Lakehouse is designed with a contemporary architectural style while still preserving strong local influences. The property features elegant private pool villas, traditional tiled roofs, handmade floor tiles, brass fittings, and beautiful wooden interiors that reflect Kerala’s rich craftsmanship.

The Story Behind Baymaas
