A Soulful Escape Just an Hour from Trivandrum – Truly a Hidden Treasure Ritu River Retreat isn’t just a place — it’s a feeling. One of the most serene and breathtaking destinations I’ve had the joy of experiencing in recent times. Tucked away just an hour’s drive from Trivandrum, this gem sits close to the road, yet feels miles away from the chaos of the world. Because there’s not much development around, what you hear is not traffic or noise — but the gentle, hypnotic melody of the river flowing by. And when it rains… the entire landscape transforms into something straight out of a dream. The property is alive — vibrant, green, and lovingly cared for. Every corner feels like it has a story. The house is a true beauty — charming, rustic, yet tastefully kept. It has all the essentials: a cozy kitchen setup, a neat washroom, and ample space for a group to unwind. But this isn’t the kind of place you come to party. It’s a sanctuary. A space meant to be respected and relished for its raw.

I recently stayed at this lovely house with my family and had a great experience. The space was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. The host was friendly and responsive, making check-in and check-out smooth and stress-free. The neighborhood was quiet and felt safe, with easy access to shops and restaurants nearby. Overall, it was a very pleasant stay—I would definitely return and recommend it to others looking for a cozy and convenient place to stay.

Everything was so good since the start. Veena waited for us till late in the night, and treated us like family. Location is very good just infront of ShreeVaraha temple. View is awesome. If you’re going for darshan, I would highly recommend this place.

Salva was a great host and very helpful. Her place was spacious and very clean and she was very responsive to any questions. Apartment is located in an ideal spot with many restaurants and cafes a quick walk away (5 or less mins!) and it was easy to get an uber/tuktuk as well. Really recommend her place for anyone looking for a place to stay while in Trivandrum.
