Property Overview 

Situated on a cliff overlooking the Arabian Sea and the wide, powdery beaches of Kovalam, The Travancore Heritage Beach Resort is a heritage‑style retreat that gracefully blends traditional Kerala architecture with modern wellness and sustainable luxury. Spread over roughly 15 acres of lush gardens and landscaped environs at Chowara, south of Kovalam, this resort offers sea‑view and garden‑view rooms, verandas, private balconies, and period timber ‘nalukettu’ and tile‑roofed houses transported and reconstructed with care to retain craftsmanship.

Wellness is woven into the fabric of the resort. Its Anandam Ayurvedam is an NABH‑approved Ayurveda centre offering tailored programmes ranging from stress management to detox and beauty care, using therapies like Abhyangam, Shirodhara, Pizhichil, under expert physicians.

Guests can participate in yoga and meditation, enjoy nutritious Ayurvedic meals, relax by sea‑facing pools, and engage in mindful walks in the gardens or along the beach.

Accommodations range from cosy heritage homes to grand pool mansions, villas perched atop the cliff, and premium suites with expansive sea views.

Sustainable design is visible in the use of traditional materials, natural ventilation, garden baths, and layout that respects the coastline and surrounding greenery. A stay here feels like stepping into a slower, richer rhythm of life: dawn meditations, sunset sea breezes, Ayurvedic healing, and evenings lulled by waves.
