Where the resort sits
The resort is on Light House Road Kovalam Beach, on the coast, by the sea. It is 1.4 km from Kovalam, about 15 minutes on foot. The setting is outside Neyyattinkara, in the wider Thiruvananthapuram district, in South Kerala. Neyyattinkara is a town in Thiruvananthapuram district, and the resort is 8.4 km from the centre of Neyyattinkara.
Kovalam is a coast destination at 0 to 20 m altitude. It has three coves under a headland and a lighthouse, fifteen kilometres from the state capital and its airport. The beach that started Kerala tourism, and still the easiest sea in the state to reach from a plane.
Who will like it
It suits guests who want a beachfront resort with a pool, spa and restaurant, and who value a private beach. It also suits those who plan to visit Thiruvananthapuram, its museums and Padmanabhaswamy temple, a half hour away. It does not suit travellers seeking a quiet town base or those who prefer to be in Neyyattinkara itself.
When to plan a stay
The best season is November to March. The sea is not swimmable in the southwest monsoon and the flags mean it. Plan accordingly if swimming is important. The resort works as an arrival or a decompression stop rather than a two week base.
