About Resort :
The Travancore Heritage is a sea side resort in 8 acres of lush green coconut
garden and landscaped environs located at Chowara - south of Koval am, near Trivandrum, Kerala. The resort stands on a high cliff overlooking the Arabian
Sea and a long wide beach of powdery white sand. The Travancore Heritage is
conceived and developed as a Heritage Property to bring to life the age-old
traditional architectural splendor of the region with its typical timber
houses and 'Nalukettus' with tiled roofing, which allow for living in
communion with all the elements of Nature.
The courtyard within the 'Nalukettu' in its center, around which the four
wings of the house were built in timber, bring in the air, sunlight and the
rain water right into the house making the inhabitants live in tune with
Mother Nature. Travancore Heritage comprises of many such houses built at
various periods in the past 60 - 100 years from several locations in
Travancore, rebuilt at the site after being dismantled and transported with
utmost care, with all their architectural grandeur with fine woodcarvings on
the rafters, gables and the connecting timber members on the walls intact.
