In Kerala, Onam is more than just a celebration, it’s like the whole place breathes differently. Families get together, friends end up reuniting, and even companies try to honour that spirit of togetherness. So choosing the right spot can really matter, if you want your Onam celebration in Kochi to feel truly unforgettable.
Every Onam event at Vihara by CMK is made to be warm, full of smiles, and hard to forget. This luxury backwater resort in Kochi sits alongside calm backwaters, and it fuses Kerala’s deep traditions with a breathtaking natural backdrop, so it becomes the perfect spot for group gatherings, corporate festivities, and family meet ups, all at once.
Experience the True Spirit of Onam
A real Onam get-together is all about mouthwatering cuisine, sincere rituals, and laughter, not just a quick thing.
From the minute visitors step into Vihara, they start getting a genuine Keralan feeling.

Once the plates are cleared, the games begin — and this is where the real memories get made.
