The Cove sits on the clifftop with the sea in front of it. Casa stands beside a private freshwater lagoon, wrapped in green. Six rooms in all, breakfast included, food cooked in house and a garden built for slow mornings. Thirty minutes from Trivandrum city, five from the beach.
The largest room at The Cove, with a curve of windows, a private terrace and the horizon in front of it. Wake to open sea and watch the light move across it all day.
A room that floats above the water, built for stillness. A daybed on the balcony, birds in the morning and the quietest space on the property. The one guests ask for by name.
Intimate and low and refined, tucked into the cliffside. A bathtub, a small table by the window and not much else. Small on purpose.
Lagoon views, long sunsets and a bathtub worth staying in. The suite at Casa, with a balcony in the treetops and the room that catches the best of the evening.
Wrapped in green with shaded sit-outs. Open the doors and the garden comes in. A desk by the window for the ones who bring a little work along.
Earthy and grounded, built around the natural stone of the hillside rather than over it. Rough stone in the bathroom, smooth wood in the room.
Three rooms in each house. Nobody queues for breakfast, nobody talks over your sunset and the hosts know every guest by name.
The Cove looks out to the Arabian Sea. Casa looks down on a private freshwater lagoon ringed by rock and palms. Pick the water you want to wake to.
Breakfast is included. Lunch and dinner come out of clay pots on request, cooked the way it is cooked at home here. Sadya on the big days, served properly.
Five minutes to Kovalam beach, fifteen to Vizhinjam and thirty to the city. Up the hill you hear birds instead of traffic.
Stone, wood, cane and clay, built into the hillside rather than set on top of it. Nature led, not decorated to look it.
Anniversaries, birthdays and long dinners happen in the garden between the two houses. Stay the night after the celebration, or book the garden for your own.
"The place was very nice. We really enjoyed the food and the view, the rooms were very clean and the best part was the very friendly and accomodating stuff. The owner came and met us and made us feel like home. Even at night sent some complimentary ice-cream. The best place to be in Kovalam."
"A truly relaxing stay. Watching the sunset over the quarry and sea view while listening to the birds was the highlight of my visit. The peaceful surroundings helped me forget my stress and reconnect with nature."
"Amazing view to spend an evening and a luxurious stay. Very private and secluded cozy warm ambience as the name. Lovely host and top notch service!"
"Was recommended to me by a friend and I must say it was such a peaceful stay. The ambience was relaxing and I was shocked to see a place so close to the city in Kovalam yet away from all the hustle and bustle. Already spoke to the sweet hosts and planned out my next trip here along with my family."
"Lovely views of a lake and the ocean in the distance. Away from the main road and noise. Cozy place indeed."
"Awesome spot. Quarry and sea view, good rooms, good service. Awesome spot for vibing with [palm thatch] hut and grass lawn with rocks to vibe with friends or events."

Off K.S. Road, near the Kunnumpara temple, Kovalam, Thiruvananthapuram. Close enough to the beach for an evening swim, far enough up the hill that you hear birds instead of traffic.
