“Ilona Lake Resort” is inimitable and unique in its name itself. The name “Ilona” is of a Hungarian origin and is pronounced as “eye-LOH-nah” which means ‘sun ray, light or one that shines’ and has connotations of what is ‘beautiful and pure’. It is this distinctive feature that is projected in the design, ambience and location of the resort.

Ilona Lake resort, is situated on a cape like formation, marvelously cuddled by the enchanting Vembanaadu Lake and a backwater rivulet. The beauty is further enhanced by a natural rivulet, flowing right across the resort over which some of our chalets are built, giving it a true Venetian look, befitting the scenic backwaters of Kerala, India. The resort offers an unparalleled view of the seemingly boundless Vembanaadu Lake with a panoramic sight of the beautiful island called Pathiramanal. Ilona Lake resort is tucked right in the soul of a charming little village in Kerala called Kannankara, away from the hustle and bustle of the City, and yet close and accessible to all functional comforts and luxury of a classy resort.

Accommodation in the resort is conceived to provide maximum comfort and at the same time to give you a sense of physical exclusivity and privacy. The villas are carefully designed with all the features of a classy resort (personal pools, large open spaces, jogging tracks, etc.) but at the same time the lodging units are designed in the
traditional style of Kerala architecture. Physical exclusivity and privacy is important to us and this is achieved by discretion and great personal care from our well trained staff.

We believe that a stay in the Ilona Lake resort, by the side of the enchanting lake, the soothing rivulets and the natural ecosystem of the village around, will give you a sense of peace and help you understand your worldly concerns in a new perspective and return with a refreshed mind and a body full of energy. The Ilona Lake resort is designed and serviced to cajole your mind, soul and body by our true traditional Kerala hospitality.
