    Kovalam Holidays are situated on one of the best known beach resorts in Kerala. Translated Kovalam means grove of coconut trees and this couldn't be a better description for this former fishing town due to the palm covered headlands which separate the three main sandy beaches in Kovalam. Overlooking the Arabian Sea, the beaches in Kovalam offer safe bathing and are the major attraction of this resort.

    Kovalam beach holidays

    Kovalam holidays are best known for the quality of its golden sandy beaches. To the north the quieter beaches are used by the fishermen who pull their nets directly on to the beach. Due to the quality of the local fish and the history of Kovalam as a fishing town most of the local restaurants specialise in seafood and fish dishes which are excellent. To the south of the Kovalam beach the bays are more populated with holiday makers. The safe waters at Kovalam also offer great opportunities for snorkelling and you can try scuba diving, or if you don't want to get you feet wet, why not book a boat trip from the beach along the coast?

    Kovalam holidays - great facilities available

    There are a number of sites and places of interest in Kovalam and the surrounding area, to the south is the port of Vizhinjam, famous for its temples and mosque as well as the high quality of its local fish. The town of Kovalam has a number of shops offering a range of souvenirs while hotels and salons in Kovalam also offer Ayurvedic massage, ideal for rejuvenating and relaxing whilst on holiday in Kerala.

    We would just like to say that my husband and I have recently returned from a holiday to Kerala during March. This would be the fifth time we have travelled with Mercury Direct to this resort and hotel. As usual Travencore Heritage Hotel and its staff did not disappoint. We had a wonderful holiday and are looking forward to our return. Also Mr Babu from Jayasree Travel did his best to ensure we were looked after.

The house boat accommodation exceeded expectations and the experience was truly memorable! The boutique hotel in Cochin was very welcoming and well presented as was the beautiful home stay and the wildlife...
