Thanks Bobby for a two hour (4,000 steps towards my frequent flyer points!!) site inspection of Shangri-La Singapore. What a magnificent property catering for the ultimate traveller, the business traveller, the leisure traveller and the family travellers. As for the kids, we’ll they are treated like royalty including their own little slippers, robes and a few novelty things to make their stay memorable. All of this in one place.

Linking our beautiful south west to more visitors !

WA, you'll want to tell your friends and family in Sydney about this one.

A new direct flight between Busselton and Sydney will take off in March next year.

And starting from 8am AWST today, they'll be able to sn**ch up cheaper fares to our beautiful South West region from just $109.

But they need be quick - because the offer will only last 12 hours ✈️

And now we say farewell for another year. Already missing the team from Poovar Island Resorts and can’t wait to come back next year. Dates are in 31st August - 14 September. Who’s going to join me ?

23/09/2023

For those of you who have been here before you will all know how much fun it is to visit Hemen at his shop on the island. We all leave here a little lighter in weight and more in $$$ - the joy we have in his ‘Mary Poppins shop’ is amazing. You see something not in your colour he magically retrieves it from under the counter or up on a shelf. It’s always an hilarious memorable experience. Friends forever Hemen xx

22/09/2023

Our farewell dinner was out of this world. Thank you to all the teams for putting together a magnificent feast. Until next year !

21/09/2023

Today was Sari day. One of the favourite on the calendar and one where our beautiful therapists get to dress us up for a special lunch. The team excelled this year and we were treated to some fabulous drummers.

20/09/2023

Dinner tonight was accompanied by some cultural dancers and music.

What is so wonderful about coming to Poovar Island Resorts and detoxing with the incredible benefits of Ayurveda is the other things you can have done while you are here. Doctor Adarsh John is an absolutely fantastic dentist and best of all a clean and scale is pain free. Not often you come out of the dentist chair with a smile on your face !!

Yesterday was a sunset boat ride around the back waters. Early treatments today then it was odd to the museum to eat our lunch in the park. After it was off to the new shopping centre LuLu mart before a quick trip to Kovalam Beach to see the Shiva temple. Now time to relax before dinner and an early night. All this detoxing is tiring !!

16/09/2023

We went off the island today on a Temple tour. It was so cool to see a real elephant coming out into the streets before we arrived. Now it’s time to relax and prepare for “poop night” and flush away all those nasty toxins !!!

14/09/2023

Cooking demonstration yesterday afternoon, followed by dinner outside with a cultural show. Then it was a walk around the island catching the night lights before bed. This afternoon we went over to the beach to dip our feet 👣 in the Arabian Sea. Back to our rooms sitting on the verandah watching the sunset before dinner in company with a little squirrel 🐿️ enjoying a coconut 🥥 that dropped from the tree. Life couldn’t be better !!

12/09/2023

Just another day in paradise. And to the kids who took our pool noodles - we know where you live !!!

11/09/2023

03/09/2023
