When I think about the most desirable(and luxurious) accommodation I can imagine, two things pop into mind:
1.Over water villas
2.Private pool villas
I used to think it was only possible to have one of these options. Now I know that’s not true. You can have both at the Shwas Homes in Cochin!
I first discovered these fabulous pool villas at the Shwas Homes when I was researching accommodation options.
I love it because it’s near Cochin Metro City(so very convenient) and it has the best value accommodation I have ever found if you like luxurious over water villas. And who doesn’t!
In this Shwas Homes review, I’m going to show you inside our awesome pool villa and give you all the details of staying in the Shwas Homes. Just to be very clear, this review is not sponsored in any way. We paid for the room ourselves and we never tell anyone that we are bloggers.

The villa is quite large with a variety of room types. Many of them have private pools and you have the option of being in a villa over the water.
We, of course, could not resist the temptation of being over the water.
We booked an executive pool villa and were upgraded on check in to one with a full ocean view – this means we were pointed out at the end facing the sea rather than facing another villa.
The villa is a decent size. It started with a bedroom area – this has two queen size beds, desk area, cupboards, fridge and plenty of space. We had 5 of us including a baby in a crib(we travel with our own) and there was plenty of space. There was a ceiling fan and good air conditioning in this area.
The fridge came with a couple of free complimentary soft drinks as well as some bottled water.
The coolest part about the bedroom area is definitely the glass panel down to the ocean below. We all loved looking through it especially our baby.
Next to the bedroom is a kitchenette with microwave, stools, sink and some crockery and cutlery. Next is the bathroom with the shower having ocean views!
The Shwas Homes has a lot of kid focused or kid friendly attractions to help with rainy days, younger sibling nap times or when the pool isn’t enough.
Outdoors there’s an inflatable maze, archery, segways and mini electric cars for kids plus bikes to rent.
There’s a pool. It’s a good size especially as most people have their own pools.
There’s two small playgrounds. One of them is in a pool and this is great fun for young kids.
The facilities at the Shwas Homes are much better though. There were more places to hang out and the kids’ room. There is a river to enjoy.
