Kovalam’s beaches are a popular destination, yet still maintain an air of calm. There are a series of bays to choose from, so you’re sure to find a spot to yourself. Here you can relax on the warm palm-fringed sands, or wander along the headland.
We really love the old lighthouse, where you can climb up to the top and watch glorious sunsets over the Arabian Sea.
Compared to quiet Marari which has only recently risen to prominence, Kovalam has been a favourite for a while, and has a choice of good resorts. Many resorts offer ayurvedic massage and treatments, perfect for those wishing to rejuvenate their senses with some pampering.
It’s convenient location just a short hop from Trivandrum Airport make it perfect way to end your Indian holiday with a few days of R&R.
