The ultimate in luxury with panoramic views of the coastline

Cradled in a rock face between two spectacular beaches, the Leela Kovalam offers panoramic views of the famous Kovalam coastline providing beautiful setting for a tropical holiday experience. Devote days to swinging in a hammock surrounded by swaying palms or feel the ocean spray as you relax on the resort's exclusive beach. By night feast on Indian cuisine in The Terrace and watch the still waters of the Arabian Sea, or sip thirst quenching cocktails in the elegant bar. For an active stay tennis, badminton, table tennis and even archery can be enjoyed whilst down on the sands beach volleyball and yoga are available. After why not relax with a pampering treatment at the spa and soothe those every day tensions away.

Offering spectacular views, lush surrounds and a range of facilities, this resort is ideal for those wanting a relaxing break in the beautiful land of Kovalam. Wi-Fi is available for a fee.

Welcoming Experience

The stay in Leela Kovalam was amazing with the staff being extremely warm and cooperative towards us. They went out of the way to even plan surprise for us to make the stay even more memorable. All the restaurant staff were equally inviting in their hospitality.

Old under valued rustic and waste of money

Property has good location but the rooms are old rustic. Poor service basic amenities are not working . Hotel is no value. Not even a 3 star hotel just big in size . Very Disappointed, would never visit again .
