[](https://expedia.co.uk/Thiruvananthapuram-Hotels-The-Raviz-Kovalam.h848868.Hotel-Information) ![Beach Florra Inn](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/6000000/5280000/5278100/5278016/27c8b896_y.jpg) ### Beach Florra Inn 8/10 Good "I like location and its restaurant" [](https://expedia.co.uk/Neyyattinkara-Hotels-Beach-Florra-Inn.h5278016.Hotel-Information) ## Frequently asked questions ### How much does a budget hotel in Kovalam cost? ### Which area of Kovalam is best to stay in for cheap hotels? > Solo travellers will find a good selection of guesthouses and smaller hotels tucked away on the streets leading up from Lighthouse Beach. Many offer basic but comfortable rooms, often with fans instead of air conditioning, which lowers the price. It's a great spot for meeting other travellers, and the beach itself provides free entertainment and people-watching opportunities. > > > Couples can also find excellent value in this area. Look for accommodations slightly set back from the main beachfront to discover quieter, more intimate stays that are still only a short walk from the sand and surf. Many of these places are family-run, offering a personal touch and often including breakfast in the room rate, further stretching your budget. ### When is the most affordable time to visit Kovalam? > For solo travellers, the monsoon season can be a wonderfully tranquil time to experience Kovalam. The beaches are less crowded, offering a peaceful atmosphere for relaxation, and many guesthouses and smaller hotels provide attractive discounts. You'll find it easier to haggle for better prices on local goods and services too. > > > Couples looking for a romantic getaway on a budget will appreciate the reduced costs during these months. The lush greenery brought by the rains creates a beautiful, serene backdrop, and many Ayurvedic centres offer special packages at a fraction of the dry season prices. ### Is Kovalam a budget-friendly destination? > Solo travellers will find a lot of guesthouses and homestays offering comfortable yet inexpensive rooms, particularly away from the immediate beachfront. Areas slightly inland from Lighthouse Beach or Hawa Beach often provide better value. Public transport, primarily local buses and auto-rickshaws, is incredibly cheap for getting around. > > > Couples can enjoy delicious Keralan cuisine at very reasonable prices, with fresh seafood readily available at beachside shacks or local eateries. Many of the most enjoyable activities in Kovalam are also free or low-cost, such as relaxing on the beautiful beaches, watching the fishermen, or taking a leisurely stroll along the promenade. You can also explore the local markets for unique souvenirs without breaking the bank. ### How can I save on a budget hotel in Kovalam with Expedia? ### What free activities should we do in Kovalam? > Kovalam's stunning beaches are the main draw, and spending time by the Arabian Sea costs nothing. Lighthouse Beach, Hawah Beach, and Samudra Beach are all interconnected and provide ample space for leisurely strolls, sunbathing, or simply watching the local fishermen at work. Solo travellers can enjoy the quiet contemplation of a sunrise or sunset over the ocean, which is a truly magical and free experience. > > > Beyond the beaches, exploring the local fishing villages offers a glimpse into authentic Keralan life. Wander through the narrow lanes, observe the traditional fishing boats (catamarans) being prepared or returning with their catch, and soak in the vibrant setting. This is a fantastic way to connect with the local community without spending a penny. You can also take a pleasant walk up to the iconic Kovalam Lighthouse for panoramic views of the coastline – while there's a small fee to climb the lighthouse itself, the walk to its base and the surrounding scenery are completely free to enjoy. ### Is it cheaper to book flights and a hotel in Kovalam as a package? ### Can I cancel my budget hotel reservation on Expedia? ## Explore a world of travel with Expedia -
