I’m Shamon Shaji, a passionate traveler and the mind behind a chain of resorts across Kerala’s finest destinations. Are you longing to escape the daily grind? I suggest Kovalam, one of the best spots to unwind.
Places to visit in Kovalam: Start at Lighthouse Beach, where the panoramic sea view is worth the climb. Relax at Hawa Beach or enjoy a boat ride at Vellayani Lake for a quieter retreat. History whispers through Halcyon Castle, while the Vizhinjam Rock Cut Cave Temple adds a spiritual touch. And don’t miss an Ayurvedic spa—because Kovalam is all about rejuvenation!
Kovalam: Where Time Slows Down by the Sea
Kovalam isn’t just a destination—it’s a feeling. It was a sleepy fishing village once, and today it’s a beautiful spot where the waves write stories on golden sands, and life unfolds soft and gentle. Mornings begin with fishermen casting their nets, while yoga lovers stretch under the rising sun. By afternoon, the scent of fresh seafood fills the air, and as the evening rolls in, the sky turns into a masterpiece of colors!
Kovalam is the best tourist spot in Kerala for Ayurveda, adventure, or just to take a break from your monotony of life; Kovalam has a way of making you forget the rush of life. Feel the vibes of Kovalam!
