Discover the best things to do in Kovalam

Kovalam was once a sleepy fishing village, its tranquil shores a favourite haunt of the ancient Travancore royal family. In the 1960s, it began to transform into a beach destination, attracting hippies and travellers seeking sun, sand, and surf. Today, Kovalam's 45 km of coastline offers an irresistible blend of relaxation and adventure. You can try your hand at water sports, indulge in Ayurvedic massages, or simply soak up the sun on the pristine beaches. As the sun dips into the ocean, Kovalam's beachside eateries come alive with the scent of fresh seafood and the sound of laughter, creating an infectious sense of joy that's hard to shake.
