Reception at Trivandrum air port
To island resort and stay there
Evening in the lake and beach
Poovar Island is a rare find in Southern Kerala. Enveloped by the most serene backwaters and opening out to the sea and a dream golden sand beach, in close proximity to Trivandrum, Poovar is truly a window into paradise.
At the resort only the sound of the waves and the whistling of birds punctuate the tranquility. The acreage is abundant in well-preserved local flora, with hundreds of varieties of spices, exotic flowers and dense banana & coconut groves. The sun god smiles generously on Poovar. Here, time stopped a few decades ago.
The star attraction at our “Island of Smiles” however is the Ayurveda Ashram. Based on the ancient science of life, Ayurveda is an immensely successful alternative for total rejuvenation.
There’s a lot to do in idyllic Poovar besides soaking in nature. Laze on hammocks, sunbathe on the beach, swim in the translucent waters of the swimming pool, row to a neighbouring fishing village, try your luck on a fishing expedition or take in a spectacular backwaters sunset cruise.
