Nayarambalam is a suburb of Cochin city and coastal village on Vypin island in Ernakulam District in the state of Kerala, India.

The village is surrounded by Edavanakkad Gram Panchayat to the north, Narakkal Gram Panchayat to the south, the Arabian Sea to the west and Veeranpuzha to the east. Nayarambalam lies almost at the center of Vypin Island. Agriculture and fishing were traditionally the main sources of income for the people, but now most of the people depend on Cochin city, the nearest city on the mainland. There are still lots of paddy fields and fish ponds especially in the eastern and western areas of the village.

These details are taken from the official website of the Kerala Government.

The name Nayarambalam comes from Nair and Ambalam (temple) in reference to the prominent Bhagavathy Temple managed traditionally by the Bhagavathy Temple Karayogam consisting only of patrons belonging to the Nair community.
