Frequently asked questions

How much does a beach hotel in Kovalam cost?
Prices for beach hotels in Kovalam vary, but you can find a great deal from £19 on Expedia. You're likely to find lower rates if you're travelling during the off-peak season or mid-week. Find the best deals by being flexible with your dates, and sort search results by "Price: low to high" for our cheapest rates.
Which area of Kovalam is best to stay in for beaches?
The best area to stay in Kovalam for beaches is Lighthouse Beach, the most well-known and central of Kovalam's three crescent-shaped beaches.

Lighthouse Beach is the largest and most developed of Kovalam's beaches, stretching along the coastline with the iconic Kovalam Lighthouse at its southern end. It's lined with a promenade featuring numerous restaurants, cafes, and shops. You'll find a good mix of accommodation options directly on or very close to the beachfront.

Couples looking for a relaxing beach holiday will find Lighthouse Beach ideal. You can enjoy sunbathing, swimming, and various water activities like surfing or catamaran rides during the day. In the evenings, the promenade offers plenty of choices for a meal with sea views, and you can easily take a leisurely stroll to the lighthouse for panoramic views of the coastline.

For solo travellers, Lighthouse Beach offers a good balance of activity and convenience. The presence of other travellers and the array of beachfront establishments mean there's always something going on, making it easy to find a spot to relax or dine.
How can I save on a beach hotel in Kovalam with Expedia?
One Key™ —Expedia's free travel rewards programme—gives you instant access to perks and Member Prices on Kovalam beach hotels. Plus, you'll earn OneKeyCash™* on eligible bookings to use on future trips. Typically, booking in advance will help you save on your hotel booking. But, if you're feeling spontaneous, check out the last-minute deals.



*Excludes taxes and fees. OneKeyCash is not redeemable for cash and can only be used on Expedia and other participating brands.
What beach activities should we do in Kovalam?
The best area to stay in Kovalam is along Lighthouse Beach and Hawa Beach, as these are the main hubs for activities and offer direct access to the sea.

Lighthouse Beach is the largest and most popular beach in Kovalam, named after its historic lighthouse that offers panoramic views. It's a bustling stretch with a promenade lined with restaurants, shops, and places offering various water sports. You'll find plenty of sun loungers and umbrellas available for hire.

Couples often enjoy Lighthouse Beach for its convenience and varied options. You can easily spend a day swimming, sunbathing, or trying out activities like surfing or parasailing. In the evenings, many restaurants set up tables on the sand, providing a lovely setting for a meal by the sea.

Hawa Beach, also known as Eve's Beach, is just north of Lighthouse Beach and is generally a more tranquil option. It's a crescent-shaped beach popular with those looking for a slightly less crowded experience.

For travellers seeking a more relaxed beach day, Hawa Beach is a good choice. It's still close enough to the amenities of Lighthouse Beach but offers a bit more seclusion for sunbathing or a peaceful swim.
Is it cheaper to book flights and a beach hotel in Kovalam as a package?
Booking a beach hotel and flight package on Expedia can be cheaper than booking flights and hotels separately. Bundling can lead to significant savings, especially for international travel or when booking a beach vacation package well in advance. However, savings vary depending on factors like destination, travel dates, and availability, so it's wise to compare options. With access to over 300,000 hotels worldwide, Expedia makes it easy to build the perfect travel package.
Can I cancel my beach hotel reservation on Expedia?
Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel's cancellation deadline. This is often within 24-48 hours of your scheduled arrival. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use Expedia's "Fully refundable property" filter during your search to find the right beach hotel in Kovalam for you.
