Leela Kovalam Beach Resort

Leela Kovalam Beach Resort- Kerala

This one is meant for the lovers of luxuries.

Around 15 km from Thiruvanantpuram and right on the one of the most famous beaches of Kerala is the 5 Star Hotel belonging to the prestigious Leela Group of Hotels. The hotel sits comfortably atop a cliff facing the Arabian Sea and spreads over an area of 44 acres. The hotel pampers you to the extent of spoiling and the magnificent surroundings contribute in their own way to make you feel extremely special. Swaying palm trees hide and unhide a lot that is happening on the beach. And the beach itself (the part that belongs to the hotel exclusively) is around 2.5 km long. Enough to give you a vivacious time during your stay.

The hotel has the honour of being the first Five Star Beach Resort of Kerala and it also happens to be the largest one amongst all. Staying at the Leela Kovalam Beach Resort is inspiring as you realize the significance of relaxation and fun that you have been missing out for a long time now. And then, the little place of Kovalam along with the surrounding area itself is very beautiful and worth exploring.

The Rooms

At Leela Kovalam Beach Resort, you have the option of choosing from a whole range of rooms. There are Sea view rooms, Beach view rooms, Royal Suites, and Seaside Cottages with private Villas. The Sea view rooms with their interiors designed in traditional Keralese style gives a close look at the sea all the time without you actually going out of the room. Just stand in the balcony and enjoy the view as the sun signs off for the day.

The four suites of royal Halycon Castle are a treat for your luxury yearning soul. The granite built Castle has had the distinction of being the summer retreat of the former Maharajas of Travancore and stands apart from the rest of the rooms. Outside the palm groves and inside the Italian floor tiles, antique finish furniture and a king size bed contribute to enhance the feeling of regality. Every step you take here infuses in you a renewed sense of being at an extremely special place.

Distinct from the Castle that oozes every bit of royal charm are the Cottages that together make up an atmosphere resembling a village. Lined up on the shore, these cottages remind you of the traditional 18 th century Kerala wooden houses the moment you step inside. Like those houses, the cottages of Kovalam Beach Resort follow the concept of open bathroom. Additionally, these bathrooms also have bathtubs and Sundeck chairs. Staying in these Cottages is a pleasure as you get a feel of being free. Come out of the cottage and move ahead to reach the beach. Alternatively, you can also move to the backside and reach the swimming pool. It is like every step forward and backwards greets you with a different attractions.
