Kovalam, Kerala Holidays, India

The Raviz Kovalam, one of Kerala’s ritziest addresses, occupies a prime position on the clifftop above the northernmost of Kovalam’s three coves. Its chalet rooms, which you’re taken to in golf carts, step down the hillside to the resort’s own stretch of beach, but you can also swim in a pair of exquisite infinity pools, enjoying the sublime sea views afterwards over a cocktail at the candle-lit terrace bar. The buffet spread are a sumptuous as you’d expect from a ‘five-star-deluxe’ hotel, and service impeccable.

Our opinion

A deluxe resort offering a selection of rooms and suites, fab infinity pool and quality restaurants.
