Poovar Island Resort

Poovar is a small Island located very near to capital of Kerala Thiruvananthapuram. Thiruvananthapuram also known as Trivandrum, was the erstwhile capital of Travancore and is the State Capital today. Fringing the coast of Kerala and winding far inland is an intricate network of innumerable Lagoons, Lakes, Canals, Estuaries and the Deltas of forty-four rivers that drain into the Arabian Sea. Over 900 kms of this labyrinthine water world is navigable. As characteristic of Kerala as the 600km long coastline of dazzling beaches is the dense, lush Backwaters of the state. And while hill stations are all over the country and palm-fringed beaches too, the Backwaters are unique to Kerala

The tranquility is punctuated only by the sound of the waves and the whistling of the birds. The acreage is abundant in well-preserved local flora, with hundreds of varieties of species, exotic flowers and dense banana and coconut groves. The sun of god smiles generously on Poovar.

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 neighboring fishing village, try your luck on a fishing expedition or take in a spectacular backwaters sunset cruise.
