Vishu, the Malayali New Year, is one of Kerala’s most important festivals. In 2026, Vishu falls on Tuesday, 14 April, with the related celebrations running across the weekend before and the week after for families who shift the gathering to a more convenient date. For Kollam district families, Chavara is a practical place to host a Vishu-related family gathering or a Vishu sadya meal with out-of-town relatives. This guide covers how to enquire at Aamees Paradise for Vishu 2026.

Why Chavara draws Vishu gatherings in Kollam district

Chavara is a quiet census town on the Kollam–Alappuzha corridor next to the wider Ashtamudi backwater coastal locality. Many Kollam families pick Chavara over Kollam town centre for a Vishu gathering because the water-facing surroundings give the day a calm, festival-appropriate setting. Parking and access are confirmed on enquiry; the Location page has the full address, map and coordinates for relatives driving from Alappuzha, Kottayam, or Thiruvananthapuram.

Vishu 2026 date options for Aamees Paradise

Tuesday, 14 April 2026 is the actual Vishu. Many families choose the prior Saturday or Sunday (11 April or 12 April) so working relatives can attend without taking leave. Others choose the following Saturday (18 April). Send two date options — Vishu day itself plus a weekend fallback — so the team can check Event Auditorium availability quickly.

Sadya, dietary, and catering scope

If your Vishu gathering includes a sadya, state the style of sadya, any regional variants, and any strict dietary needs (Jain, no-onion no-garlic, halal, gluten, allergies). Catering and menus are confirmed during follow-up; nothing is published as a sadya package on the website. Any in-house or third-party caterer involved is clearly stated at the time of written confirmation.

Same-property stays for out-of-town relatives

Vishu visitors from outside Kollam often want an overnight stay. Aamees Paradise has one 1-BHK Entire Villa (standard 3 guests) and two AC Guest Rooms (2 guests each) on the same grounds. Share the number of adults, children, and elders — and whether some will stay the night before, the night of, or both. Extra guests may be accepted for an additional charge on written confirmation.

Vishukkani and gathering layout

If your programme includes a Vishukkani display, a small stage for the kani, or a separate children’s corner for younger relatives, add that to your first message. Layout is confirmed together with auditorium space rather than a generic diagram on the website.

Deposit and Booking & Enquiry Terms

Once you receive a written confirmation for an event date or any stays, the Booking & Enquiry Terms apply: 50% deposit for an event date, 40% for stays. Vishu dates are competitive — do not delay the deposit step thinking another family will not take the same weekend.
