"We stayed in the floating cottage- brilliant concept where the wooden cottage is built by the backwaters, but provides spectacular views of the sea."

Poovar Island Resort
Poovar Island Resort is a statement hotel ensconced in the breathtaking beauty of Kerala, where the emerald backwaters meet the ultramarine sea. As you arrive, you're greeted by swaying coconut palms and a symphony of nature-a vibrant canvas of endless golden sands, crimson sunsets, and lush vegetation. The lobby encapsulates this ambiance, adorned with traditional Kerala art and adding an aura of refined contemporary opulence. Signature features like the sunken Pool Bar allow for the perfect refreshment experience while relaxing in the water, epitomizing the art of leisure. The elegantly designed suites, notably the Maharajah Suite Cottages, offer spacious retreats with separate living areas, painted in soothing pastel colors-a sanctuary of tranquility. The on-site dining experiences are no less remarkable; master chefs conjure culinary delights in both buffet and à la carte styles, accommodating every palate while seamlessly complementing the Ayurvedic treatments offered throughout the resort.
Explore the Local Area
Beyond the confines of the resort lies the awe-inspiring journey along the banks of the Kollar River, a 72-kilometer stretch that showcases the region's rich tapestry of banana, rice, rubber, and tea plantations. A mere 3 kilometers away, Poovar Island beckons with its natural allure, while Thiruvananthapuram International Airport is conveniently located just 30 kilometers from this paradise-a mere 45-minute drive ensures swift access for international travelers. The juxtaposition of serene nature and city life makes for an ideal experience, where guests can explore the vibrancy of Thiruvananthapuram and return to their tranquil abode at the resort.
Room Information
Poovar Island Resort boasts a total of 8 Premier Land Cottages situated across a 23-acre estate, each offering an ample 550 square feet of space. These elegantly appointed accommodations reflect the careful design choices synonymous with Kerala's rich heritage. Every cottage features essential amenities such as air-conditioning, satellite TV, a minibar, and plush sitting areas, ensuring a comfortable and enriching stay. The Kerala Ayurveda Cottages similarly offer between 600 to 700 square feet, creating a space where tranquility and luxury converge within nature's embrace.
Room Upgrades
For those seeking heightened luxury, the Ayurveda Deluxe Cottages provide expansive 750 square feet retreats, designed to foster ultimate relaxation, while the Maharajah Suite Cottages, at a generous 800 square feet, are perfect for those desiring a little more space-the decision between lavishness and intimacy is elegantly solved here. These enhancements also offer expansive sundecks with private views, making the allure of the floating cottages irresistible, albeit exclusively curated for romantic getaways as children and extra guests are not permitted.
“In my opinion, this resort distinguishes itself with unique floating cottages and a strong emphasis on Ayurvedic wellness. Its location, bordering both the Arabian Sea and lush backwaters, provides an idyllic backdrop. I think the sunken pool bar adds a touch of exclusivity for relaxation.”
