Kovalam

Kovalam is a crescent-shaped beach town on Kerala's southern coast, near Thiruvananthapuram, known for its lighthouse-marked shoreline and long tradition of Ayurvedic wellness tourism. Its calm, palm-backed beaches - Lighthouse Beach, Hawah Beach and Samudra Beach - are lined with resorts offering doctor-supervised Ayurvedic treatments, yoga and naturopathy alongside standard beach holidays. Combining a milder monsoon season for therapeutic treatments with Kerala's broader backwater and hill circuit, Kovalam has grown into one of South India's most established wellness tourism destinations.
