Top Kovalam Hotel Reviews

Frequently asked questions

Which area of Kovalam is best to stay in for beaches?
The best area to stay in Kovalam for beaches is Lighthouse Beach, the most well-known and central of Kovalam's three crescent-shaped beaches.

Lighthouse Beach is the largest and most developed of Kovalam's beaches, stretching along the coastline with the iconic Kovalam Lighthouse at its southern end. It's lined with a promenade featuring numerous restaurants, cafes, and shops. You'll find a good mix of accommodation options directly on or very close to the beachfront.

Couples looking for a relaxing beach holiday will find Lighthouse Beach ideal. You can enjoy sunbathing, swimming, and various water activities like surfing or catamaran rides during the day. In the evenings, the promenade offers plenty of choices for a meal with sea views, and you can easily take a leisurely stroll to the lighthouse for panoramic views of the coastline.

For solo travellers, Lighthouse Beach offers a good balance of activity and convenience. The presence of other travellers and the array of beachfront establishments mean there's always something going on, making it easy to find a spot to relax or dine.
What beach activities should we do in Kovalam?
The best area to stay in Kovalam is along Lighthouse Beach and Hawa Beach, as these are the main hubs for activities and offer direct access to the sea.

Lighthouse Beach is the largest and most popular beach in Kovalam, named after its historic lighthouse that offers panoramic views. It's a bustling stretch with a promenade lined with restaurants, shops, and places offering various water sports. You'll find plenty of sun loungers and umbrellas available for hire.

Couples often enjoy Lighthouse Beach for its convenience and varied options. You can easily spend a day swimming, sunbathing, or trying out activities like surfing or parasailing. In the evenings, many restaurants set up tables on the sand, providing a lovely setting for a meal by the sea.

Hawa Beach, also known as Eve's Beach, is just north of Lighthouse Beach and is generally a more tranquil option. It's a crescent-shaped beach popular with those looking for a slightly less crowded experience.

For travellers seeking a more relaxed beach day, Hawa Beach is a good choice. It's still close enough to the amenities of Lighthouse Beach but offers a bit more seclusion for sunbathing or a peaceful swim.
Can I cancel my beach hotel reservation on Expedia?
Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel's cancellation deadline. This is often within 24-48 hours of your scheduled arrival. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use Expedia's "Fully refundable property" filter during your search to find the right beach hotel in Kovalam for you.
