Thapovan Heritage Home
Thapovan is nestled within verdant surroundings... just away from the din and bustle of
city life. Perched exquisitely on top of a hillock and cliff, the heritage home is bordered
by the virgin Nellikunnu beach. It also lies in proximity to other tourist attractions like
Kovalam, Thiruvallam and Vellayani.
Architectural marvels in wood. Carved religiously on the principles of Thachushastra- the mystical science
of engineering. Gabled roof, imposing wood columns at the entrance, panelled walls...Step in and transport
yourself into a pristine world that had challenged technology with aesthetic ingenuity.
Golden flames flickering in exquisite Thookkuvilakku (hanging lamps) was its answer to electricity.
Water in charmingly designed basins for air conditioning. And the architectural genius of yore that
allowed unhindered flow of cool air through all rooms.
In the courtyard, a few paces in front of the entrance door, is the Thulasithara. A three feet
high structure holding the hallowed Thulasi plant. It symbolises the presence of the divine.
Relax peacefully in this serene ambience. You will be caressed by the soft roar of the waves.
The virgin Nellikunnu beach is just a two minutes walk from the homes.
