Places to Stay in Kovalam

No excursion can be best enjoyed had the accommodation offered monotonous views and lacked basic facilities. So, go through our recommendation list, and try to book a stay in places like: Poovar Island Resort, The Leela Kovalam Beach, Uday Samudra Leisure Beach Resort, or any other resort located near Kovalam.  

Kovalam was once and still remains a haven for hippies and every year, there is an influx of backpackers from Europe and Israel. The number of visitors from European countries increased as the Halcyon Castle was built on the orders of Queen Maharani Sethu Lakshmi Bayi, who entertained people from Europe. The Europeans discovered the underlying beauty of the town and thereafter, started visiting it more often. They come in search of a new culture and heritage.
