Poovar Island

Poovar Island is a haven for people who desire seclusion. Backwaters and the Neyyar River, which flows into the Arabian Sea nearby, surround this tiny island. Poovar Island is a tropical haven that is encircled by the tranquil Kerala backwaters, bordered by the massive Arabian Sea on the east and the magnificent towering Ghats on the west. This island spreads out to the ocean with a dream golden beach. Only a 10-minute riverboat journey will get you to the island, which is located 30 kilometers from Trivandrum International Airport.


A wonderful atmosphere is created around you by swaying coconut trees, boundless golden dunes, the ultramarine of the ocean, emerald backwaters, scarlet sunsets, and lush green flora. This unique island is the perfect far-flung hideaway spot for a peaceful vacation in breathtaking natural settings. At our lovely Kerala ayurvedic resort, you can select between floating villas and land cottages for lodging. The area is a beautiful mixture of green due to the dense development of spices and floral plants amid coconut and banana orchards.


Butterfly flutter and a range of colorful birds add to nature's spectacle. They are constantly active, using the bushes and even the floating hyacinths as play areas. Unfortunately, swimming is not permitted at the beach. Here, the estuarine belt experiences powerful currents all year round.
