Where it sits
The resort is outside Thiruvananthapuram, in the wider Thiruvananthapuram district, in South Kerala. It is on the coast, by the sea, and the address is G V Raja Vattapara Road. Thiruvananthapuram is the headquarters of Thiruvananthapuram district, a municipal corporation.
The property is 9.9 km from the centre of Thiruvananthapuram and 1.5 km from Kovalam, about 20 minutes on foot. Kovalam itself is 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 it suits
This suits travellers who want a full five star resort with a pool, spa, fitness centre and multiple dining options, and who value being on the coast with easy access to Thiruvananthapuram. It does not suit those seeking a small guesthouse or a property in the centre of the city. The guest score of 4.6 from 3533 reviews indicates high satisfaction, but the scale and facilities mean it is not for you if you prefer simple, low-key stays.
Planning a stay
Plan for November to March. The sea is not swimmable in the southwest monsoon and the flags mean it. The property is 9.9 km from the centre of Thiruvananthapuram, so allow for that when arranging city visits. It works as an arrival or a decompression stop rather than a two-week base, and the 20 minute walk to Kovalam makes the beach accessible without a vehicle.
What the property lists
Where it is
About 9.9 km from the centre of thiruvananthapuram, in Thiruvananthapuram district. That is a ride rather than a walk. The listed address is G V Raja Vattapara Road.
