Resort Overview

The Travancore Heritage is located 23 km from Trivandrum (the capital of Kerala, India), on the untouched beach of Chowara, south of Kovalam.

Travancore Heritage is a true showcase of traditional Kerala architecture. The charming tiled roofs of wooden houses blend beautifully into the surrounding landscape, while intricate wood carvings and the resort’s lush green grounds create an atmosphere of timeless harmony.

The property features numerous heritage houses originally built in the last century and brought from different parts of Kerala. They have been carefully restored while preserving their original beauty and character. The resort offers a total of 90 rooms.

Travancore Heritage also has its own medicinal herb garden, along with a laboratory where healing preparations are produced.

There are two large outdoor swimming pools on the property, both overlooking the sea.

The atmosphere is grand and aristocratic, yet warm and inviting. Surrounded by coconut palms and flowering gardens, the resort feels like a royal tropical retreat.
