Unspoilt
and miraculously unexplored, Poovar Island is a rare Adam and
Eve find in Southern Kerala. Enveloped by the most serene backwaters,
and opening out to the sea and a dream golden sand beach. Poovar
is truly a window into paradise. Time stopped a few decades ago.
As you cross the little town of Poovar you are welcomed by their
Welcome Area where boats await you for a unique experience. A
ten minutes boat ride and your eyes are greeted by the beautiful
estuary with the backwaters on one side and the beach on the other.
Facing this enchanting estuary lies the island of Poovar. The
tranquility is punctuated by the sound of waves and the birds.
The acreage is abundant in well preserved local flora, with hundreds
of species of spices, exotic flowers, complete with banana and
coconut groves. The sun God smiles generously on idyllic Poovar.
There's lots to do in addition to soaking in nature, and the hammocks
and the beach. Row to a neighboring fishing village in 2 minutes.
Alter course, and visit a centuries old martial arts village.
Kerala is the birthplace of a unique martial art form. Poovar
Island Resort is a mix of floating cottages, and conventional
accommodation. Floating units are constructed on hollow light
weight concrete hulls. They are air conditioned and fully equipped
with all modern amenities,
