Poovar Island Resort / 3 Nights Rejuvenation Program
Premium Hospital in a Resort Setting | Healing & Wellness Property
India / Kerala / Kovalam - Beach | River

Poovar Island Resort is a backwater-and-beach resort operated as a unit of Floatels India Private Limited, situated at K.P. VII/911, Pozhiyoor, Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala. Floatels India was formed in 1999 by Mr Kabeer Khader, an NRI entrepreneur based in Dubai, and Mr M. R. Narayanan, an electronics engineer and industrialist. The resort occupies approximately 25 acres of lush coconut gardens beside the backwaters and Arabian Sea and is reached from the mainland by an approximately 10-minute boat transfer; Kerala Tourism records the property at about 30 km from Thiruvananthapuram International Airport 

The property combines conventional resort accommodation with a dedicated Poovar Ayurveda Village, an Ayurvedic treatment and rejuvenation centre incorporating a medicinal Herbarium, Ayurveda accommodation and a specialised Ayurveda restaurant. Its medical offering encompasses rejuvenation, Panchakarma/body purification, body immunisation, stress management, weight management and chronic joint-focused care, alongside traditional Kerala therapies, yoga and meditation. The Ayurveda centre holds NABH accreditation for Panchakarma, with the current NABH certificate valid from 27 September 2024 to 26 September 2027 

Property Design and Landscape 

Poovar Island Resort is defined by its unusual geographical setting, with Kerala backwaters, the Arabian Sea, a golden-sand beach and tropical coconut vegetation forming the principal landscape context. The resort is designed as a low-rise, nature-integrated property, with land-based cottages arranged within landscaped gardens and distinctive floating cottages positioned on the backwaters facing the sea. Kerala Tourism specifically records the property as being built among coconut gardens alongside the beach, with land accommodation arranged around a swimming pool located on a natural lily-pond setting.  

The architectural language incorporates traditional Kerala elements, including tiled roofs, timber detailing, landscaped courtyards and naturally integrated outdoor spaces. The historic resort brochure depicts extensive planted areas, traditional roof forms, open corridors and a separate Ayurveda complex with treatment spaces. The Ayurveda Village itself has a distinct village-like character and includes its own treatment facilities, pool and therapeutic environment. Earlier property documentation also records environmentally conscious floating accommodation using natural and renewable design elements.  

Founders and Ayurvedic Heritage 

The resort's corporate foundation dates to 1999, when Mr Kabeer Khader and Mr M. R. Narayanan formed Floatels India Private Limited. Khader, a chartered accountant based in Dubai, had business interests in surface-preparation equipment and materials serving refinery, shipping and chemical industries, while Narayanan, an electronics engineer, had promoted businesses in electronics, software and environmental pollution-control sectors. The resort was subsequently developed as a distinctive island-oriented hospitality property combining backwater access, beach surroundings and floating accommodation.  

Ayurveda became a dedicated component of the property through Poovar Ayurveda Village, developed as an exclusive Ayurvedic treatment and rejuvenation centre within the resort environment. The Ayurveda operation maintains a medicinal Herbarium and applies traditional Ayurvedic therapies through qualified medical supervision and therapists. The centre is presently associated with Poovar Ayurveda Village Private Limited, incorporated on 9 November 2023, while the NABH accreditation identifies Poovar Ayurveda Village as a unit of Floatels India Private Limited.  

Ayurveda Philosophy and Approach 

The Ayurveda Village follows a traditional Ayurvedic framework centred on achieving improved physical, mental and spiritual health through balancing bodily functions and adapting lifestyle practices to natural principles. The property presents Ayurveda as a system concerned not only with individual therapies but also with diet, yoga, meditation, daily routine and broader lifestyle regulation. Its treatment environment is intended to provide an integrated setting in which traditional therapies can be undertaken alongside rest and controlled dietary practices.  

The centre's therapeutic portfolio covers rejuvenation, body purification, body immunisation, stress management, weight management and chronic joint care, with particular attention to degenerative joint conditions affecting the spine and neck and programmes addressing rheumatism and arthritis. The property also places emphasis on traditional Kerala treatment methods and physician-directed therapy. Current Ayurveda packages incorporate medical consultation, therapy, medicines, dietary provisions and daily yoga, while the intensity and selection of treatment are determined according to medical recommendations.

Ayurvedic treatment at Poovar Island Resort is structured around doctor consultation and physician-directed therapy

More about Poovar Island Resort


Poovar Island Resort provides a varied dining environment that includes dedicated Ayurvedic cuisine alongside conventional resort dining. The principal outlets include Tiffin’s Restaurant, the Ayurveda Restaurant, Kappa Bar and Sunken Bar, allowing the property to cater separately to guests following structured Ayurvedic programmes and those seeking a broader leisure-dining experience. Tiffin’s Restaurant serves Indian, Continental and Chinese cuisine through buffet and à la carte options and also functions as a 24-hour coffee shop. Its published meal schedule includes breakfast from 07:30 to 10:30, lunch from 13:00 to 15:30 and dinner from 19:30 to 22:30. 

The dedicated Ayurveda Restaurant is reserved for guests undertaking Ayurvedic treatments and follows a more controlled dietary approach. Meals are prepared as vegetarian Ayurvedic diet food, with food choices prescribed in accordance with the guest’s treatment requirements and Ayurvedic medical guidance. The restaurant serves breakfast from 08:00 to 10:30, lunch from 12:30 to 15:00 and dinner from 19:00 to 21:00. Ayurveda treatment packages include breakfast, lunch and dinner, with meals served from a special Ayurveda menu rather than the general resort menu. The dietary arrangement forms part of the treatment environment, supporting the physician-directed Ayurvedic regimen throughout the stay. 

The resort's Ayurvedic food philosophy places emphasis on fresh vegetarian ingredients and diet appropriate to Ayurvedic treatment, with the wider Ayurveda concept incorporating vegetables, herbs and medicinal ingredients as part of therapeutic nutrition. Meals are therefore positioned as an integral component of the Ayurveda stay rather than simply as a conventional hospitality service. Guests following an Ayurvedic programme are expected to adhere to the prescribed diet, while the separate Ayurveda Restaurant provides an environment specifically designed around the requirements of treatment and rejuvenation. 

Poovar Island Resort provides a range of leisure opportunities designed around its island setting, backwaters, beach surroundings and tropical landscape. Guests can spend their free time using the resort’s swimming pool, kiddies pool, beach area, library and indoor games facilities, while beach volleyball provides an additional recreational option. The resort also offers meditation and yoga, allowing guests to incorporate quieter, wellness-oriented activities into their stay. Pool towels are provided as a complimentary facility, and the swimming pool area includes the Sunken Bar, which serves fresh juices, mocktails, snacks, soft beverages, tea and coffee. 

The resort’s location surrounded by Kerala backwaters and close to the Arabian Sea also supports nature-oriented leisure experiences. A sunset cruise is available as a chargeable facility, while a beach visit is listed among the complimentary services. Sightseeing trips can also be arranged for guests who wish to explore the surrounding area beyond the resort. These activities complement the property's setting, where water, coastal scenery and tropical vegetation form an integral part of the guest experience. 

For more relaxed indoor leisure, Poovar Island Resort provides a library and indoor games, while team activities and games are available as an additional chargeable service. Guests can also enjoy time around the swimming pool and beach, making the leisure offering suitable for both active recreation and unhurried relaxation. The combination of water-based activities, beach access, outdoor recreation, indoor pursuits, yoga and meditation, cruises and sightseeing allows leisure time to be adapted to different preferences while retaining the resort's nature-oriented island character. 

Poovar Island Resort incorporates Ayurveda and yoga through its dedicated Poovar Ayurveda Village, an exclusive Ayurvedic treatment and rejuvenation centre within the property. The Ayurveda facility follows traditional Ayurvedic principles with an emphasis on supporting physical, mental and spiritual well-being. Its approach includes Ayurvedic consultations, therapeutic treatments, rejuvenation therapies, medicines and prescribed routines according to the guest’s individual health requirements. The Ayurveda centre also has a medicinal herbarium and a specialised restaurant serving Ayurvedic cuisine, integrating treatment, diet and lifestyle as complementary components of the stay.

The Ayurvedic offering includes treatment categories such as Panchakarma, Rasayana, Kayakalpa, Medodhara, Mana Swastha, chronic joint care, and yoga and meditation. Panchakarma is positioned as a deeper Ayurvedic cleansing and purification approach, while rejuvenation-oriented therapies such as Rasayana and Kayakalpa form part of the centre’s broader traditional wellness offering. Treatment planning is supported by Ayurveda doctors, with therapies and medicines recommended according to the individual’s condition and treatment requirements. The property’s Ayurveda facilities have also been associated with a dedicated Ayurvedic healthcare establishment, Poovar Ayurveda Village, which holds NABH accreditation within the Panchakarma scope for the relevant accreditation period.

Yoga and meditation form part of the resort’s wellness activities and are incorporated into Ayurveda stays as a complementary practice. The Ayurveda package information lists daily yoga from 07:00 to 08:00, while the resort’s facilities information identifies meditation and yoga among its complimentary offerings. These practices provide a structured element of physical movement, relaxation and mental discipline alongside Ayurvedic therapies and daily routines.

The Ayurveda approach also places particular importance on diet as part of the therapeutic process. Meals for Ayurveda guests are served through a dedicated Ayurveda Restaurant, where diet plans are carefully advised by Ayurveda doctors. The resort states that its Ayurvedic diet follows traditional principles and uses vegetarian ingredients, including vegetables and leaves associated with medicinal properties. The chefs are trained to understand the dietary requirements associated with Ayurvedic treatment, making food an integrated component of the overall Ayurveda experience rather than simply a conventional dining service.

For guests undertaking Ayurveda packages, the resort combines doctor consultation, Ayurvedic therapies, massage, medicines, recommended rejuvenation or body-purification procedures, prescribed diet, yoga and meditation within a structured stay. The package guidelines also specify abstinence from alcohol, cigarettes and junk food during Ayurveda packages. The resort states that Panchakarma requires a minimum of 14 days, while weight-reduction programs require a minimum of 21 days, reflecting the longer treatment duration considered necessary for these specific therapeutic objectives.

3 Nights Rejuvenation Program
  • Description

    The 3 Nights Rejuvenation Program at Poovar Island Resort is an Ayurvedic wellness program centred on Rasayana Chikilsa (Rejuvenation Therapy), intended for guests seeking to restore vitality and support a healthy, balanced state of physical, mental and spiritual wellbeing. The retreat describes Rasayana as an approach concerned with promoting vitality and healthy living while addressing degenerative processes through rejuvenation of the body’s functional systems. It is therefore suited to individuals seeking restorative and preventive wellness rather than treatment of a specific disease. The Program offering provides a defined rejuvenation-focused stay.

    The program’s broader objectives are to support renewed vitality, healthy ageing and sustained wellbeing, with Ayurvedic dietary principles and appropriate lifestyle regulation forming part of the retreat’s approach to maintaining health. The centre considers diet important to the effectiveness of Ayurvedic care and provides food adapted to guests undergoing treatment. The intended benefits are therefore oriented towards continued wellbeing beyond the retreat rather than a guaranteed medical outcome. Following consultation and clinical assessment, the Ayurvedic physician determines an individualised course of care according to the guest’s health status, personal requirements, strength and therapeutic objectives, allowing the rejuvenation plan to be adapted to the individual rather than applied as a uniform protocol.

    Note:

    All treatments and program components are personalised following the initial consultation with the retreat's Ayurveda doctor and the guest's health condition. Therapy protocols may vary accordingly.

I stayed here for just one night when on a work trip to the area. firstly the location is just amazing..set on a isle between the sea and the backwaters it offers the best of both worlds. In fact you need to take a 20 mins boat ride thru the beautiful shimmering backwaters to reach the property. The property itself is well maintained with many categories of rooms..budget , mid range and the more expensive floating water villas. Room interiors and amenities are mostly the same across categories although the location and views varies within the property. Amenities wise, it offers a nice swimming pool, gym and ayurveda center, massage and spa center, and 3 restaurants on the property. Spacious with lawns and lots of walk ways offering views of the sea and backwaters. Last but not least, very pleasant staff always ready to help. Great luxury resort to spend a few nights in the peace and quiet of the Kerala countryside.

Wonderful experience as we really enjoyed the place. Rooms were clean and they had lot of facilities as well. The short complementary ride to nearby beach is with it. The beach is a must visit. The food here is a bit pricy but worth every penny. They also offer ayurveda treatment, which are to its highest standards. Best place to visit.!

Situated in a great location ? pick up and drop from poovar parking area by their own boat. Check-in time 1PM and check put time 11AM Rooms are good, but it can be maintained better. Staffs are helping and responding to the needful immediately. Evening time we can enjoy the stunning sunset with a cup of tea/coffee. Complementary breakfast is being provided. It's filled with variety of dishes (South indian) Lunch and dinner coming with 2 options. One is buffet system and another regular restaurant type ordering. If you are planning for a post wedding Photoshoot, then it is the right place for that. Best season to visit poovar island resort is from july to September. October to December the season will be much hotter and humidity. Morning and evenjng complementary sea visiting is being organized. (Mrng 8am to 10am) & (evng 3pm to 5pm) Night light music event is happeneing. It's good to make small dance moves along with your friends/family..

Play and activities area also available with many indoor games. Gym facility is also there. Ayurveda spa available. You can check details on the brochure.
