Affordable Luxury: How Kerala Offers More Value Than Vietnam or Bali When Australians think of tropical holidays in Asia, Bali
Home / Blog
When Australians think of tropical holidays in Asia, Bali and Vietnam are at the forefront of their minds for most. But what if we told you that there is a destination offering everything you love about Bali and Vietnam—and more—at an even better value? Welcome to Kerala, a lush paradise in India between the Arabian Sea and the Western Ghats.
At Mate Way, we can help travelers experience the best of Kerala—without sacrificing style or comfort. Whether you are looking for beachside bliss, a relaxing retreat, or a cultural escape, Kerala overtly offers luxury that is often cheaper than what you can find in Bali or Vietnam.
Fewer Crowds, More Peace
In contrast to Bali’s party hotspots or Vietnam’s vibrant cities, you’d find peace and tranquility in Kerala. Imagine: quiet backwaters, leisurely beaches such as Varkala, and the beautiful inland hill stations of Munnar—none of the throngs of tourists.
Boutique Stays at Budget-Friendly Rates
Kerala has your back with stunning places to stay, from private houseboats to eco-luxury hotels on tea plantations—at a fraction of the price you would pay to stay at Bali or Da Nang.
Wellness That Feels Like a Gift
Ayurveda was born in Kerala with restorative treatments and yoga retreats that are authentic and much cheaper than a comparable experience found in Bali. If you are seeking an authentic experience of relaxation or to recover, this is it; you will be able to breathe easily.
Cultural Immersion Without the Tourist Price Tag
There’s Kathakali dance shows, meals served on banana leaves and temple festivals either included or offered at little or no cost – no overpriced “tourist-only” options here!
Gourmet on a Budget
Like seafood? Kerala’s fresh coastal cuisine is delicious and reasonably priced. You’ll eat world-class meals in Kerala – street food or five-star – and pay a third of what you pay in major tourist areas.
Kerala provides personal, peaceful, and pleasantly inexpensive luxury. It is a place where you can enjoy luxury without sacrificing comfort for cost—you get both.
At Mate Way, we create unforgettable Kerala experiences for travelers who value something unique, valuable, and meaningful.
