CURATED BACKWATER LIVING
SunnyBySonia redefines what it means to truly escape in the heart of Kerala’s storied backwaters. There is a rare kind of stillness that finds you here, where the water mirrors the sky and every moment feels unhurried, and this property was born to let you live inside that feeling. Every detail of this retreat has been shaped around one singular purpose to offer you a stay that is as extraordinary as the landscape surrounding it.
Every detail of this retreat has been shaped around one singular purpose to offer you a stay that is as extraordinary as the landscape surrounding it. From the stone-crafted outdoor jacuzzi kissed by open skies, to the lush grounds that ease into the waterfront, Sunny by Sonia is where thoughtful curation meets the raw beauty of Vembanad.
Two intimate bedrooms, one breathtaking setting, and a sunset that has to be witnessed to be believed this is the kind of place that stays with you long after you leave. Step into a world where the backwaters slow time down and nature does all the talking step into SunnyBySonia.
THE SETTING
SunnyBySonia wakes you into a world that most people only dream about, where glassy backwaters stretch endlessly before you and the morning air carries nothing but the quiet song of the water. Perched along the serene shores of Kaniyampuzha in Aroor, this intimate retreat sits at the very edge of the Vembanad Lake system, one of Kerala’s most breathtaking natural wonders. Here, the landscape does not merely surround you, it draws you in, holds you gently, and refuses to let the outside world matter anymore.
THE EXPERIENCE
As the sun begins its slow descent over the backwaters, the sky above SunnyBySonia transforms into something almost impossibly beautiful, painting the water in shades of amber and gold that no photograph can truly capture. Step into the outdoor jacuzzi, hand-crafted from natural stone and open to the open sky, and let the warmth of the water meet the cool of the evening breeze. This is not just a stay, it is a sequence of moments, each one more memorable than the last, that you will find yourself returning to in your mind long after you leave.
THE EXCLUSIVITY
SunnyBySonia is entirely yours two beautifully appointed bedrooms, a lovingly landscaped property, and a setting of pure backwater splendour shared with nobody but the people you choose to bring along. There are no lobbies, no strangers at breakfast, no compromise, just your family or your closest circle wrapped in the kind of privacy that true luxury always promises but rarely delivers. This is what it feels like when a place has been curated not for the many, but thoughtfully and completely for you.
ABOUT SONIA
Sonia has always believed that the most beautiful spaces are the ones that feel genuinely alive, shaped by love rather than formula, and SunnyBySonia is the fullest expression of that belief brought into the world. For years, she has poured her eye for beauty and her instinct for comfort into crafting a retreat that feels both elevated and deeply human.
Sonia grew up with an intimate connection to Kerala’s waterways, spending long afternoons watching light play across the backwaters in ways that never seemed to repeat themselves. That childhood wonder never left her, and it quietly informed every stone laid, every plant chosen, and every corner shaped within this property. Her vision was never simply to build a beautiful place, but to create a living experience that guests carry home in their hearts long after the holiday ends.
