Hotels in India

The Trident’s a large, purpose-built hotel on the peaceful northern outskirts of Bhubaneshwar.

‘Heavenly’ is a word often used to describe the Surya Samudra, an ultra-chic boutique resort overlooking a pair of golden-sand coves to the south of Kovalam.

A sprawling, 200-metre swimming pool forms the focal point of this beautiful backwater resort on the shores of Vembanad Lake.

The Vivanta Taj Malabar enjoys a plum spot at the top of Willingdon Island, overlooking Cochin’s historic harbour.

The Leela, one of Kerala’s ritziest addresses, occupies a prime position on the clifftop above the northernmost of Kovalam’s three coves.
