Maharaju Palace is a three star property on the coast at Kovalam, in Thiruvananthapuram district, South Kerala. It holds a guest score of 4.3 out of 5 from 31 reviews. Its position, 700 m from Kovalam and about 10 minutes on foot, is the deciding factor: easy for beach days, less so if you want town life on the doorstep.
What Maharaju Palace offers
Maharaju Palace is a three star property. It has a guest score of 4.3 out of 5 from 31 reviews. The listed facilities cover the practical side of a beach stay: air conditioning and non smoking rooms, a 24 hour front desk with express check in, 24 hour security, concierge, luggage storage and laundry.
For leisure, the property lists a garden, a terrace and a balcony, a badminton court and yoga, plus massage. Breakfast is available, and room service covers the rest of the day. Free WiFi, car hire and a shuttle service help with getting around, while a garden and terrace give you somewhere to sit outside between beach trips.
Where it sits
The property is outside Neyyattinkara, in the wider Thiruvananthapuram district, in South Kerala. It is on the coast, by the sea. Neyyattinkara is a town in Thiruvananthapuram district, and the address puts the property 9.3 km from the centre of Neyyattinkara.
The destination is Kovalam, a coast at 0 to 20 m, three coves under a headland and a lighthouse, fifteen kilometres from the state capital and its airport. Maharaju Palace is 700 m from Kovalam, about 10 minutes on foot. That short walk is what makes the location work for beach time and simple evenings.
Who it suits
Maharaju Palace suits travellers who want a coastal base within a short walk of Kovalam and do not mind being outside Neyyattinkara. It also suits anyone who values a garden, terrace or balcony, yoga and massage, and a front desk that stays open around the clock. It is less suited to visitors who want the state capital's museums and Padmanabhaswamy temple on the doorstep, or who prefer a town centre location.
Planning a stay
Come between November and March. The sea is not swimmable in the southwest monsoon and the flags mean it. Kovalam works as an arrival or a decompression stop rather than a two-week base, and Thiruvananthapuram, its museums and Padmanabhaswamy temple are a half-hour away. Book with that rhythm in mind.
