Location:

Located 30 kms. from Trivandrum, the capital of Kerala.

An innovative range of tourist accommodation, "Floats", a cluster of 10 floating cottages, is getting ready for occupation at Poovar 30 km from Thiruvananthapuram.

The cottages are located at the meeting point of the Neyyar river, the Arabian Sea and a stretch of backwaters.They are built on platforms made of fibre, steel and ferrocement, in the traditional Kerala style of architecture.

The resort also offers facilities like swimming pool, restaurant, conference hall etc., in addition to about 20 other ordinary cottages facing the water body.

Poovaar is unspoilt and unexplored, envoloped by the most serene backwaters, and opening out to the sea and a dream golden sand beach. The historical importance of Povar has its strong ties with the legendary King of the erstwhile Princely State of Travancore, the great Marthanda Varma Maharaja.
