Located right on the Chowara beach, Travancore Heritage is a sea side resort features accommodations in a traditional architecture with smooth interior lighting and spacious bathrooms. Guests can relax with traditional Indian Ayurveda treatments and massages or enjoy swimming at the 2 outdoor pools. Trivandum International Airport is a 40-minute drive away.

I enjoyed every single moment of my four night stay at The Travancore Heritage. They are master of hospitality and you feel immediately welcomed by the female reception staff. The property is very large, plenty of space, beautifully maintained. Wonderful gardens, easy to stroll around, with fantastic beach views. They have 2 restaurants, with a wonderful selection of food choices, the chef and his team take care of your every need. I managed to squeeze in a few Ayurveda treatments, (only due to they were fully booked), the best I have received in India. The top swimming pool was very clean and lovely to chill out on the day beds after a day of sightseeing, location easy to walk to beach, local shops (good shopping), temples and church. You will need a tut tuk to visit lighthouse and town, just walk outside the resort and they will help you out. The other pool is for families and children. Their is activities to do if you like and a short walk to the beach, the lifeguards are wonderful and set up your day beds for you, great location for sunset! My room was spacious and clean, the bed comfortable and I loved the balcony that I could view the ocean from, the staff even left me towel animals. A special shout out to Annie for going above and beyond, her kindness is a gift! You could easily stay here for a week, I highly recommend booking your stay here.

Niraamaya Retreats, Surya Samudra, Kovalam presents romantic seaside getaways in Trivandrum, with its private beach and beautiful sea-facing infinity pool. Pampering spa treatments can be enjoyed at the Niramaya Spa while soothing yoga session can be experienced on a platform overlooking the sea.

Amazing serene location with a beautiful swimming pool overlooking the beach and a good private beach. Nestled in the midst of a lot of greenery. The place is extremely relaxing and the staff are very friendly. The place also has a very homely feel with beautiful private cottages rather than the usual hotel feel which I preferred over Leela Kovalam. Overall absolutely loved it and will definitely recommend!

    The hotel is in an excellent location, very handy for a short stroll to the beach, without being directly on the seafront. Bijoy was the perfect host, making us feel welcome on arrival and providing valuable information and advice. It's easy to see why he has so many repeat guests. There was plenty of choice for dining, with many decent restaurants and cafes very close at hand.
