Vijaya Varma Beach Resort is a three star property on Light House Road in Vizhinjam, with its own private beach and a garden, spa and restaurant on site. It sits 900 m from Kovalam, about 10 minutes on foot, and holds a guest score of 4 out of 5 from 235 reviews. The deciding factor is simple: you are here for the coast, not for the town.
Rooms and facilities
Vijaya Varma Beach Resort is a three star property, rated 4 out of 5 from 235 reviews. It lists 24 hour front desk, air conditioning, balcony, family rooms, non smoking rooms, refrigerator, room service, free WiFi, free parking and luggage storage. Breakfast and a restaurant cover meals without leaving the grounds, and laundry, currency exchange and car hire handle the practical side of a longer stay.
The leisure side rests on the sea and the spa. There is a private beach and another beach nearby, a garden and a terrace, plus massage, spa, steam room and yoga. That combination is the reason to choose it over a plain room in Kovalam.
Where it sits
The resort stands outside Neyyattinkara, in the wider Thiruvananthapuram district, in South Kerala. Neyyattinkara is a town in Thiruvananthapuram district, and the property is 9.2 km from the centre of Neyyattinkara. It is on the coast, by the sea.
Kovalam is the destination you are buying into, and Vijaya Varma Beach Resort is 900 m from Kovalam, about 10 minutes on foot. Kovalam is why most people come: three coves under a headland and a lighthouse, fifteen kilometres from the state capital and its airport.
Who it suits
It suits travellers who want the Kovalam coast on foot, with a private beach, a spa and a restaurant inside the property, and family rooms for those with children. It does not suit anyone expecting a town-centre location or a base for moving around Thiruvananthapuram daily, because the address is Vizhinjam and the nearest town centre is 9.2 km away.
When to plan a stay
The season here is November to March. The sea is not swimmable in the southwest monsoon and the flags mean it. Time a visit inside that window if swimming matters. Outside it, the spa, garden and terrace still function, but the private beach loses its main use.
What the property lists
Where it is
About 9.2 km from the centre of neyyattinkara, in Thiruvananthapuram district. That is a ride rather than a walk. The listed address is Light House Road Vizhinjam.
