Absolutely stunning and peaceful ambience, offering both mental relaxation and physical comfort.The weather during this season added to the beauty of our trip, making the experience even more memorable. The staff were courteous and the service provided was truly commendable. A must-visit destination to experience the perfect blend of natural beauty, elegance, comfort, and peace.

Amazing place. Very well maintained island. Best for those who love to stay away from the hustle and bustle of life for a few days. Old style accommodation equipped with all modern amenities. The staff are very helpful and courteous. The buffet breakfast was sumptuous with a respectable spread. View from the resort is very beautiful. The property is surrounded by a lake. The sea and the lake are separated by a small strip of land. This beach visit is freely arranged by the property. The resort offers yoga, massage etc. The only negative I found is the non-replacement of old coat and hard mattress. Please be aware that one needs a boat to reach the resort. Free pickup and drop is arranged by the Property itself 24 x 7. All you need is to call the reception once you reach the Parking sites. If you are planning to reach the resort after 5.30 pm, please go to the Parking site 2.

We have spend our first anniversary in poovar island resort we didn’t had any idea that the resort have got no road access . We went in the boat from the parking area the journey was beautiful and we were welcomed nicely by the reception and given a brief description of property and activities. We haven’t got enough time to spend there but within the time we got we explored and left Despite the jammed doors and limited morning breakfast spread everything was overwhelming… Don’t know if it is because of the location we couldn’t tolerate the tab water spell in the wash room .
