4- and 5-star hotels in Alwaye
This shortlist covers the 4- and 5-star hotels in Alwaye, Kerala, from riverside villas and pool resorts to airport-side apartments and town-centre residencies. It is for couples, families and business travellers who want a comfortable base in Alwaye or a practical stop near Kochi and Cochin International Airport.
Staying in Alwaye
Alwaye is a Kerala town built around the Periyar River, best known for the Aluva Mahadeva Temple and its annual Shivaratri festival, with the Aluva Manappuram serving as a riverside site for rituals and gatherings. Visitors find a mix of temples, markets, educational institutions and commercial streets, set between Kochi and the airport, so the town works both as a place to explore and as a stopover on the way in or out of the region.
The listed hotels are spread across several parts of Alwaye rather than clustered in one spot. Park Residency Arcadia sits 0.6 km from the centre on Aluva Perumbavoor Ksrtc Road, and Rosy Villa Riverside Stay with Pool & View is 0.7 km away on Kalady Aluva Road. Yelza Hotel and Residence and Mather Rajagiri Furnished Apartments lie along Aluva Perumbavoor Road and Rajagiri Hospital Road, while Kovilakam Heritage Resort is 4.1 km out. The Surya Cochin and Mayflower Airport Launge cochin international airport sit on the airport side, and Seashore Residency, Forestay 3 BHK Villa Kochi and Athirappilly POLARIS Riverside Pool Resort are furthest out, at 23.8 km, 21.0 km and 20.5 km.

Plan your stay
Getting there and around
Alwaye is well connected by rail, with Aluva Railway Station serving as a major stop on the Ernakulam–Thrissur line.

By road, Alwaye is linked to Kochi and other cities via National Highway 544 and other state highways. Local transport includes buses, auto-rickshaws and taxis.
