Set along Vypin’s backwater edge, Anchorage is a premium villa in Kochi that blends coastal charm with easy comfort.

With 4 ensuite bedrooms, spacious living areas, and a private deck overlooking the backwaters, it’s designed for families or groups looking to slow down without losing comfort or connection.

Indoors, soft tones, large windows, and comfortable seating keep the mood relaxed, while easy access to the deck means you’re never far from the view.

Enjoy BBQ evenings by the water, meditative mornings on the deck, or fishing trips guided by locals who know the tides. When you’re ready to explore, head to Cherai Beach for a swim, see the Chinese fishing nets at sunset, or wander Fort Kochi’s historic streets.

Unique Dining Experience at The Anchorage, Vypin

Dining

At this homestay in Kochi, dine on traditional family recipes, fresh local seafood, and homemade wine—served on the waterfront deck, shaded verandas, or in the villa’s airy dining spaces.

Dining at The Anchorage blends coastal flavour, family tradition, and the easy pace of life by the water. At this homestay in Kochi, meals are served across inviting spaces—on the waterfront deck, in the shaded verandas, or around the villa’s bright dining table indoors.

The menu draws heavily from recipes passed down through generations of your hosts’ family. Fresh ingredients, especially fish, are sourced daily from local fisher folk—arriving at your plate as aromatic curries, crisp fried catches, or delicate coconut-based stews. Lunch might bring fluffy rice with tangy meen curry, while evenings could see platters of grilled seafood or slow-cooked meats prepared in the open air.

Alongside these regional staples, your hosts also cater to simpler cravings—salads, sandwiches, or light snacks—making each meal feel personal and unfussy. A highlight for many is sampling the exquisite homemade wines that reflect years of care and skill.

Whether enjoyed after a morning exploring Vypin’s backwaters or as the sun dips into the horizon, meals at The Anchorage are generous, rooted in place, and best savoured without hurry.

Green Sustainability Practices

Anchorage weaves sustainability into daily life through thoughtful practices that honour its backwater setting. Waste is carefully segregated and channelled through responsible disposal systems. The villa’s design maximises natural ventilation and daylight, reducing the need for artificial cooling or lighting. Expansive green spaces and native planting help moderate temperatures while supporting local biodiversity. Together, these measures reflect a mindful approach to hospitality—one that safeguards the delicate coastal and backwater ecosystem of Kochi for generations to come.
