BOOK THE BEST! WINTER HOUSE APARTMENTS, a well kept secret for discerning guests and needs little advertising. We have 3 SUPERIOR studio apartments, 1st floor and secure, away from the busy roads but on a gentler incline, not as steep as elsewhere. Within 5 minutes walk of Lighthouse Beach and set amid lush, green, tropical surroundings with uninterrupted views through the palm groves. Not another roof top in sight, so unique in Kovalam!! Our private rear balconies are ideal for spotting birds & small wildlife. Each EXCLUSIVE, individual, very spacious, modern, a/c studio has twin or double beds sleeping 2 adults, en-suite shower rooms with hot & cold water. We have satellite TV, ceiling fans, kitchen area with refrigerator, electric kettle/toaster, crockery supplied. All you need for making a continental breakfast or snack. Be assured, it is too hot, you will not want to cook with such a delicious variety of fresh food available at the beach restaurants and priced so reasonable. To enoy the sunsets, the ambiance of the Keralans and to sit in the moonlight overlooking the beguiling Arabian Sea is so enticing. A true delight to bring you peace and contentment.
Power cuts - NO PROBLEM - automatic battery back up installed - so cool!
All windows with mosquito screens and good sized private balconies with attractive bamboo furniture for relaxation
Purified water delivered to the studios as requested.

KERALAN HOSPITALITY WITH EUROPEAN INFLUENCE. IT'S SO GOOD.
Fabulous views of the beach!! Dining in the TREETOPS RESTAURANT at THE SAGARA BEACH RESORT nearby with 10% discount, a display of Kathakali dancing arranged regularly in high season. Guests can enjoy all facilities at the Resort including free use of the swimming pool, sun loungers/towels. WiFi in reception. Safety deposit boxes, international telephone dialling, tours arranged at local rates. Enjoy the Ayurvedic Treatment Programmes by the emminant consultant, Dr V Franklin.
A stay in Kovalam is a relaxing mixture of sun, sea and delicious food. So be sure to pack a few good books. In contrast, colourful, noisy temple festivals & cultural events in January and February.
Note: A torch is advisable for your evening stroll to the beach.
KERALA - meaning The Land of the Coconut and formally known as The Malabar Coast is a mixture of adventure and relaxation. Palm fringed backwaters, lush tropical forests, mist-clad hill stations, colourful festivals, wildlife sancturies and idyllic beaches provide a gentle backdrop for enjoying ancient Ayurvedic treatments and swaying elephant rides. Truly exotic, it's easy to see why National Geographic voted this Indian state one of it's 10 "Paradise Found" destinations.
Food - dining in Kerala is a beautiful, ethnic and spicy experience. With rice paddies, coconut groves and spice plantations in abundance. Menus feature international dishes but are normally filled with delicious seafood, curries and masalas. As a speciallity traditional meals are served on leaves from one of Kerala's 22 variety of banana.
Weather - all year round temperatures. Average maximum - 31 degrees C with light breezes. Language - Malayalam but English widely spoken. Currency - Indian rupee - money exchanges easily available throughout resort.

The weather was more pleasant than in December in Kovalam. Sitting out on the balcony was so private, we both loved the tranquility.
