About Kovalam Beach

Kovalam Beach: A Tropical Paradise Beckons!

Imagine golden sands, swaying palms, and the turquoise embrace of the Arabian Sea โ€“ that's Kovalam for you! Located just outside Thiruvananthapuram, this beach isn't just beautiful; it's steeped in history.

Once a quiet fishing village, Kovalam gained prominence in the 1930s when the Regent Maharani Sethu Lakshmi Bayi of Travancore built a resort, Halcyon Castle, here, attracting European guests. This laid the foundation for Kovalam's transformation into a popular tourist destination.

Today, Kovalam is divided into three crescent-shaped beaches: Lighthouse Beach, Hawa Beach, and Samudra Beach. Lighthouse Beach, known for its iconic red and white lighthouse, is the most popular. Hawa Beach, also known as Eve's Beach, offers stunning views. Samudra Beach, slightly quieter, is perfect for a peaceful escape.

Enjoy sunbathing, swimming, Ayurvedic massages, and delicious seafood! Experience the magic of Kovalam โ€“ a blend of natural beauty and fascinating history.
