Samudra Kovalam

The sun-kissed Samudra Kovalam is close to the famous Kovalam beach, but also boasts its very own stretch of beach and stunning views out to sea. Indeed, 'Samudra' actually means 'the ocean'. And there's a real feeling that the Samudra Kovalam relaxed atmosphere comes of being so very close to the sea. There's a different pace of life here – a calming ebb and flow – making this the perfect place to relax.

The Samudra Kovalam's spectacular views and tranquillity make for a really relaxed holiday:

With the emphasis on relaxation, why not treat yourself to a traditional Ayurveda therapy treatment? It'll leave you feeling wonderfully 'in-tune' and ready for anything. Or you may prefer something a little less esoteric. The Samudra Kovalam benefits from its very own beer parlour – and that's definitely worth a visit too.

If you want to mix relaxing days on the beach with a bit of exploring, then the Samudra Kovalam is an excellent choice. It's really well placed for getting out and about and enjoying a little bit more of the spectacular Keralan countryside.

Returning home to your comfortable hotel is always a treat. Why not start the evening off with a cooling drink followed by one of the great selection of in-house movies which offer a great night in – that's assuming you're not tempted to take an evening stroll along the beach.

Your deluxe en suite room will be fully air conditioned and most feature a balcony or terrace. Just get in touch if you'd like to confirm that. You'll have a TV and telephone too of course, and a great outlook over the hotel garden and pool.

The Samudra Kovalam provides wonderfully tranquil accommodation – a perfect antidote to the stresses of modern life. With its spectacular setting and easy-access to more of Kerala it's an excellent base for your holiday.
