The cultural city of Kochi is full of attractions, such as Chinese Fishing Nets and Fort Kochi Beach, and is loved for its entertainment and seafood restaurants.
Shri Padmanabhaswamy Temple is in the heart of Thiruvananthapuram, so why not stop by during your stay. Why not take a stroll along the beaches and watch the sunset while you're here?
If being by the water is a major draw, Kovalam Beach is a spot you might want to check out, located 0.8 mi (1.3 km) from central Kovalam. If you want to continue walking by the waves, head to Lighthouse Beach and Hawah Beach, both within a short walk.
Commune with nature and explore the great outdoors at Varkala Cliff during your travels in Varkala. While you're in the area, stroll along the beautiful beaches.

"Excellent Family Stay with Commendable Service & Breakfast!
My family (4 adults and 2 kids) recently enjoyed a wonderful two-night stay at The Leela Trivandrum in two Premier Sea View rooms. Overall, it was a fantastic experience—everyone loved the stay and the food.
The breakfast, in particular, was a highlight. The quality and variety were truly commendable. A special mention must go to the chef for the outstanding millet dosa, which became a family favorite!
While the rooms had a slightly older feel, they offered a lovely ambiance with thoughtful furnishings, thermostat-controlled ACs, and a very spacious balcony. The balcony was perfect for relaxing, reading, or enjoying a coffee. We must thank Sunitha from housekeeping for maintaining our rooms so impeccably. The only minor drawbacks were some sporadic mosquitoes on the balcony during mornings and evenings and a missed opportunity for coconut water at the beach (though portable water was available).
What truly made our stay exceptional was the service. It was excellent across the board. All the staff were highly courteous and professional. We'd like to give special thanks to Sushmita, Neethi1, and Neethi2 at the front desk for their warmth and efficiency, making us feel welcome from start to finish.
I highly recommend The Leela Trivandrum for a relaxing family getaway!"
