Beach Hotels in Kovalam

Our stay at Amara Ayurveda Retreat in Kovalam was truly wonderful. Right from the start, the team showed incredible hospitality—when we arrived a day late, they graciously pushed our stay forward without any extra cost. That level of understanding immediately set the tone for a heartfelt experience. The Ayurvedic therapies were the highlight of our trip. My wife absolutely loved her full-body massage with Gita, who was caring and skilled. I also had a deeply relaxing session with a therapist (a tall gentleman with a mustache) who was equally excellent—both of them made us feel at ease and completely rejuvenated. The saltwater swimming pool was another gem, soothing and refreshing after the treatments. Breakfast was delicious and thoughtfully catered to our preferences. While the traditional South Indian dishes were absolutely authentic and flavorful, the staff happily prepared eggs and omelettes for us as well—something we really appreciated. The serene greenery, warm staff, and the attention to detail in every corner made this retreat more than just a stay—it was a healing experience. We left feeling lighter, refreshed, and deeply grateful. Highly recommended for anyone looking for genuine Ayurveda, peace, and wellness in Kerala. 🌿✨

We spent 3 nights in the cottage, a perfect place also to european standards.Evering is in working order and clean. Well equipped kitchen can be used. Jinu ist a excellent host and also a taxi driver, so you can do your travel arrangements with him.

Location, service and great Hospitality.

The location is just perfect one minute away from the beach. It has a great area downstairs to just sit and connect with people, also a balcony and a Terrasse. Breakfast is homemade and delicious. The manager Diljith knows a lot about India and Festivals. He is a great company!! It was a wonderful stay.

The room was spacious, neat, and clean, providing a comfortable stay. The staff were polite and attentive, and the food served was delicious. One of the highlights was the stunning sea view from both the balcony and the restaurant, which made our stay even more enjoyable.

My room was spacious and clean with a big comfortable bed, a refrigerator and a balcony. Its situated among palm trees in a quiet location, but still close to the beach, and the staff is helpful. A good place to stay.

We've stayed in Rockholm for 2 weeks and really enjoyed it The restaurant is so good that we didn't bother to go and eat somewhere else most of the time when we were at the hotel. Besides the regular menu they can also do something on request and all of that is very reasonably priced (compared to most of the European prices for the same quality and service). The breakfast is mainly vegetarian but variety is wide enough and some options are changed every day, we tried something new in different combinations every day. Non-veg breakfast options are always present but limited and some of the breakfast dishes could be spicy The receptionists are very helpful and helped us with the currency exchange, helped to book a scooter (since it was a low season it was hard to find anything working), arranged a reliable transfer to the airport at a good price (compared to an external transfer booking services), they can also help with everything related to tours and other activities We've really enjoyed the pool, even though it's not so big and rather shallow it appeared to be good enough for us. The water, pool itself and surrounding area were very clean. We didn't go to the beach but during the daytime it could be really considered as a private beach as there's always nobody even though the beach itself looks pleasant and clean, at the evening there will be cloud of locals watching the sunset and local kids playing football The room itself was clean, cozy and with enough lighting options. WiFi has proven to be stable and rather fast. And of course the view from the balcony is breathtaking and it's main feature of the hotel for sure The location is also nice, in a very quiet and somewhat secluded area but in just 5 minutes walk to the main beach with all other hotels and restaurants All the staff is very helpful and sincerely friendly

Great stay for a good price, best hotel in Kovalam because of the pool and the location
