EXPERIENCE INDIA WITH THE LEELA

The Leela Kovalam, A Raviz Hotel

It stands on the rocky promontories of the seaside town of Kovalam. The exterior features pristine white walls and red-tiled roofs, with expansive sundecks offering panoramic views of the seascape. The 67-acre resort includes the historic Halcyon Castle, now called The Kovalam Palace, the erstwhile summer retreat of the Travancore royal family.

Go on a beach ramble, stopping to shop for local delights: handlooms, spices, Kerala handicrafts… For adventurous souls, beach boating, snorkelling, and scuba diving are on offer. Visit Aaramam, our sprawling 5-acre organic vegetable garden. Relish mouthwatering seafood delicacies cooked with the freshest catch of the day. Afterwards, head to our luxury spa for Ayurvedic treatments. The Leela Kovalam, a Raviz Hotel, isn’t just a stay—it is a taste of life, the traditional way, in God’s own country.
