Property Overview 

Perched at the confluence of the Neyyar River, serene backwaters, and the Arabian Sea, Poovar Island Resort offers a sublime blend of beach, water, wellness, and sustainability. Spread over around 25 acres of lush coconut gardens, estuary edges, golden beach front, and verdant green zones, the resort immerses guests in a natural haven. Accommodation options include land cottages, floating cottages, Ayurveda‑dedicated suites & cottages, each designed with Kerala‑style architecture, warm wood finishes, thatched or traditional roofing, and modern comforts.

The heart of wellness here is the Ayurveda Village—a sacred centre where the ancient 6,000‑year old science of Ayurveda is practiced in its purest form. With two resident doctors, skilled masseurs, 13 treatment rooms including steam rooms, and a dedicated Herbarium for medicinal plants, the resort offers specialized therapy packages: rejuvenation (Rasayana), purification (Panchakarma), stress management, weight loss, chronic joint care, etc. Yoga & meditation sessions are held daily in tranquil open or floating pavilions, in tune with sea and river breezes. Food is treated not just as fuel but as medicine — the in‑house Ayurveda restaurant curates meals to complement wellness programs, using locally sourced, seasonal and organic ingredients.

Sustainability is deeply embedded: solar and wind‑energy sections reduce reliance on fossil fuel, sewage treatment plant, bio toiletries, natural ventilation, bio waste management, and organic gardens. Floating cottages and backwater‑facing rooms enhance connection with water and sky. Guests wake up to sunrise reflections on water, lounge by estuary edges, dine under stars, drift asleep to gentle waves. For those seeking a restorative, yet luxurious escape close to nature—with wellness as the centre—Poovar Island Resort stands apart.
