About The Travancore Heritage Beach Resort
The Travancore Heritage Beach Resort is at Chowara, south of Kovalam in Thiruvananthapuram district. It is not in Kollam. The resort sits on 8 acres on a cliff with its own beach access, about 20 km from Trivandrum airport, and WedMeGood lists 90 rooms, a lawn for 200 standing and prices on request.
Its size suits a mid-sized beach wedding: the sangeet by the pool, the ceremony on the lawn above the sea, and a 988 sq ft air-conditioned banquet hall for 120 as the rain plan. The listing permits outside decorators, so the design is open to the couple's own team.
Panigrahana would plan it as a two-day residential wedding for 100 to 200 guests, with most of the list sleeping on site and the sunset ceremony on the lawn. The questions to settle before signing are the room count and the bar, both covered below.

- Air-conditioned banquet hall, 988 sq ft, for 120 (resort)

Designed, not just planned
How we would design a wedding at The Travancore Heritage Beach Resort
The resort's buildings have tiled roofs and white walls around the pool, so the palette should stay close to them: white, brass, marigold and banana leaf. A cliff lawn catches the wind off the sea, which means hanging decor has to be weighted, candles need hurricane glass and the mandap should be built low and braced. Light the path down to the beach if guests will use it after dark.
Which function goes where
| Haldi | The poolside (90 seated / 150 floating) in the morning. |
|---|---|
| Mehendi | The banquet hall, 988 sq ft and air-conditioned, for up to 120. |
| Sangeet | The lawn with a stage, finishing by 10 pm. |
| Wedding ceremony | The lawn above the sea at sunset (120 seated), with the banquet hall as the written rain plan. |
| Reception | The lawn for up to 200 standing. |
Season and weather
December to March is the dry window on this coast. The southwest monsoon (June to September) makes an outdoor cliff-top evening a gamble, so hold the banquet hall as the rain plan in those months.
Arrivals, access and logistics
Trivandrum International Airport is about 20 km, Kovalam 8.5 km and the Vizhinjam seaport 2 km from the resort (resort). If the guest list outgrows the rooms, plan coaches from Kovalam hotels for the overflow.

Planning notes for The Travancore Heritage Beach Resort
Is The Travancore Heritage Beach Resort the right venue for your wedding?
| Right for you if | Couples planning a beach wedding of 100 to 200 near Kovalam who want outside decorators allowed and most guests staying on site. |
|---|---|
| Look elsewhere if | A reception above 200, or a family that needs a large indoor hall. The Leela Kovalam and Taj Green Cove are the bigger Kovalam options. |
| Planner tip | Confirm the room count first: the listing says 90 and the resort publishes no total. Then get the alcohol arrangement on paper, because the listing's 'no in-house bar, outside alcohol permitted' needs the licence and the corkage terms spelled out before you plan the bar. |

Asked and answered
The Travancore Heritage Beach Resort wedding questions
Is The Travancore Heritage in Kollam or Kovalam?
Neither exactly: it is at Chowara, on the Poovar–Vizhinjam Road about 8.5 km from Kovalam, in Thiruvananthapuram district (PIN 695501). It is not in Kollam, which is a different district further north.
How much does a wedding at The Travancore Heritage cost?
The resort does not publish wedding prices and its WedMeGood listing says price on request (checked 26 September 2026). Ask for one written quote that covers rooms, the lawn, every meal and the taxes for your dates.
What is the per plate rate at The Travancore Heritage?
No plate rate is published by the resort or on its WedMeGood listing. Catering is in-house only, with multi-cuisine and Ayurvedic menus, so ask for the menu rates in writing.
How many guests can The Travancore Heritage hold for a wedding?
WedMeGood lists the lawn at 120 seated or 200 floating and the poolside at 90 seated or 150 floating. The resort lists an air-conditioned banquet hall of 988 sq ft for 120 and a boardroom for 25.
How many rooms does The Travancore Heritage have?
90, according to its WedMeGood listing. The resort's own site lists six room categories but no total, so confirm the number before you plan the block.
Are outside decorators allowed at The Travancore Heritage?
Yes. The WedMeGood listing says outside decorators are permitted. Catering is in-house only.
Is alcohol allowed at a wedding at The Travancore Heritage?
The listing says the resort has no in-house bar and permits outside alcohol. Because that is unusual, get the licence position, who serves it and any corkage charge in writing, and check your dates against Kerala's dry days.
What time does the music have to stop at The Travancore Heritage?
Outdoor amplified sound in Kerala stops at 10 pm, which applies to the lawn and the poolside. The listing says an in-house DJ is available and outside DJs are permitted; confirm the cut-off in writing.
When is the best season for a wedding at The Travancore Heritage?
December to March. From June to September the southwest monsoon makes an evening on the cliff-top lawn risky, so the banquet hall has to be held as the rain plan.
Is The Travancore Heritage good for a wedding?
For a beach-side wedding of 100 to 200 with guests staying on site and your own decorators, it fits well. For a larger reception or a big indoor hall, look at The Leela Kovalam or Taj Green Cove.
Does Panigrahana plan weddings at The Travancore Heritage?
Yes. Panigrahana Weddings is an independent wedding planning and design studio working across Kerala, Bangalore and Goa. We design and produce the wedding; the resort holds the date and the rooms. Send your dates and guest count and we will check availability with The Travancore Heritage for you.
