Estuary Sarovar Portico Island
India, Indian Subcontinent
Poovar
There is no boring taxi ride to the Estuary Sarovar Portico Island – you go by boat. From the small fishing village of Poovar, near Kovalam, you'll be ferried along a gently winding river, through the coconut groves to your exclusive island paradise – the Estuary Sarovar Portico Island!
The hotel occupies an idyllic location overlooking an azure blue lagoon and a long stretch of sandy beach. The Arabian Sea laps at the shore – it's the perfect backdrop – a glittering ribbon of blue in this oasis of calm and tranquillity.
The exquisite Estuary Sarovar Portico Island: the perfect holiday hideaway
Helping you to relax even more, rooms at the Estuary Sarovar Portico Island put comfort first. The garden view rooms are all light and airy and come fully equipped with cable TV, telephone, minibar and en suite bathroom. You may even upgrade to an estuary view room. Just ask for details.
The ambience throughout is laidback and convivial. Staff are fully attentive to your needs. And just wait till you see the spectacular floating restaurant. In fact, the Estuary Sarovar Portico Island is full of places where you'll want to stop and marvel at your surroundings. Take a wander in the beautiful garden and you'll discover the swimming pool, bordered with palm trees and looking out over the lagoon. And beyond that – a quick boat ride away is the main beach.
And if all of that isn't relaxing enough, why not enjoy a few sessions at the hotel's Ayurvedic centre for a traditional health and wellbeing treatment.
This must be one of the jewels in Kerala's crown. The stunningly located and wonderfully relaxing Estuary Sarovar Portico Island is a perfect island paradise.

Best vacation stay
The overall vibe of the place is reallyy good with amazing scenery and all . The rooms were well , neat and clean . Since the location is near the beach itss reallyy good and calm with lots of spaces to spend time . The food is also really good.
Amazing experience as always
We are repeat customers of this property. We love this place for the ambiance it gives. Willing to pay the premium for it. But this time due to the day tours the hotel is taking in the place was so crowded it killed the exclusivity vibe we enjoy. The food is good. The buffet spread is vast and well balanced. The à la carte menu is good. Monsoon time the place really comes alive. Mosquitoes are there on the evening after sunset take mosquito repellent. Other than that a great experience.
Subpar experience
We were super excited for a staycation and booked based on online review and pictures, including the pool picture they show online. To start with there is active construction all over the property, there is no long pool as shown online (either construction or just being built, super sad as we went specifically for this pool experience). Rooms are average , service is average. For the price they charge, I would highly recommend double checking prior. Net, we ended up in an overall sub par experience!
