Our History

A Home Rooted in Family and Tradition

“Do not follow where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.”
– Ralph Waldo Emerson

Tucked away amidst lush greenery, Ayana’s Homestay invites guests to immerse themselves in authentic, local experiences while staying with the Nair family. Home-cooked food is a central part of the stay, offering a glimpse into daily life and the way a family comes together and thrives.

As you step off the boat and walk through the verdant surroundings, the vibrant colours of the property and its beautifully maintained gardens welcome you with warmth and charm.

The homestay, lovingly run by the Nair family, is named after Ayana, their first granddaughter, following a tradition that honours the women in the family.

Nestled on a tranquil island accessible only by boat, Ayana’s opens the door to Kerala’s heritage, village life, and warm hospitality. Here, your days unfold gently — watching locals fish, farm, climb coconut trees, and go about their daily routines in harmony with nature.

We invite you to become a part of our family, to enjoy delicious home-cooked meals, and to experience Kerala not as a tourist, but as one of us.

Ayana’s Heritage Villa

Where Kerala’s roots meet comfort and charm in the heart of Alleppey

Established in 2010 with a humble homestay in the heart of the Kerala backwaters, Ayana’s began with a vision: to offer solo travelers an authentic experience rooted in Kerala’s rich traditions. Building on this foundation, we have lovingly restored a 110-year-old traditional home into Ayana’s Heritage Villa—a space that reflects both heritage and comfort.

Originally constructed by one of the 42 Jain families brought from Kutch, Gujarat, to establish trade in Alappuzha—a once-flourishing port of the Travancore kingdom—this house carries deep cultural history. We’ve preserved its original charm while carefully enhancing it with modern comforts and thoughtful, artistic touches to offer our guests a truly special stay.
