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.

Great hotel and excellent service!

Binyamina, Israel

We stayed at the Leela for 4 nights after 10 days of a family trip in both northern and southern parts of India. When checking in we got 2 rooms that we weren't happy with since they weren't connected rooms (and we are 5 people), weren't updated and had a bad sense of humidity, at the same moment we arrived I went back to the reception and the nice supervisor was super responsive and provided the best service, understood our needs and upgraded us to a suite at 'The Club' which is a newer part of the hotel and has separate facilities. This was a WOW room that fits us all ( a couple with 3 kids), and from that moment we were so happy and started our last part of our yearly family vacation. Food was nice, spa was excellent, pool was very cool and the hotel staff were amazing. A great way to finish our vacation 😀

A luxurious vacation

I visited the Leela kovalam property with my wife and another couple, the stay was incredibly relaxing. The property is located on a hill with a view of the sea. The services by the staff were laudable and a special mention of the Guest relationship manager, MRS Rekha Nair who helped us return my wife’s forgotten wallet to Bangalore safely, and also helped celebrate our brother in law’s anniversary. The vacation was one to remember and the Leela is top in my list of very hospitable resorts and hotels.
