Which Beach Resort Is The Best For You? The Top Beach Hotels In Kerala

Poovar Beach

Poovar is actually a beach and backwater resort rolled into one. The hotels are located on the banks of a beautiful estuary. You have to hop across by boat to reach the beach that is on a spit of land on the opposite side. Very much the place to go for a quiet ‘get away from it all holiday’ in idyllic tropical surroundings.

Chowara Beach

Chowara is the quiet alternative to Kovalam’s popular beaches. It lies about 5 miles to the south with long, wide sandy beaches lined with coconut palms. There is a fishing village near the beach with ample opportunities to watch fisherfolk casting their nets.

Beaches At Kovalam

Kovalam offers some of the best sea bathing beaches in India, especially during the Winter Season. The resort of Kovalam spreads over 3 crescent shaped beaches that are separated by rocky headlands.

• The largest and best known is Lighthouse Beach which also has the shallowest water. It is possible to go in to the sea for up to 100m at waist height in certain places. Next is Hawah Beach in the middle and Samudra Beach which has a fishing village.

• Behind the beaches and on the headlands are tiny roads and alleyways with shops, markets and local eateries.

• Some beaches can get crowded during weekends. Kovalam also attracts a large number of charter-package tourists during the Winter Season.

Kovalam - Excursions And Things To Do

• Take a day trip to Kanya Kumari, the southernmost tip of the Indian sub-continent, visiting Padmanathapuram Palace, the seat of the old Travancore rulers, on the way.

• Go on an overnight Rice Boat cruise on the vast Ashtamudi Lake near Kollam or the much more scenic waterways further north that form the Alleppey Backwaters.

• Experience Kerala’s famous Kathakali Dance with an evening performance at Trivandrum or watch the exciting ancient warrior martial arts of Kerala known as Kalari where swords and daggers are used for combat to the sound of rhythmic drums.

• Kerala is home to the ancient Indian healing art of Ayurveda. You can go for a simple rejuvenating massage or a longer course of more intensive treatments.
 Varkala

Varkala Beach

Kerala’s answer to Goa is rapidly becoming the beach destination of choice for independent and budget conscious travellers to Kerala.

• The Papanasam Beach at Varkala has a white, silvery stretch of sand, above which rise steep and rocky cliffs. Great for chilling out to the extraordinary sunsets that are seen over the Arabian Sea.

• Above the cliff is a narrow road lined with a Kashmiri bazaar and a large number of restaurants and guesthouses.

• Not the place to head to if you are looking for 5 star luxury.

 Mararikulam

Mararikulam Beach

• A very quiet fishing village that is carving out a niche as a rather exclusive resort. Deserted beaches spread out for miles in either direction to ensure complete privacy. The waves of the Arabian Sea break gently against soft white sands lined with swaying coconut trees.
