Family Homestay Near Kovalam Beach
Home-cooked Kerala meals and a quiet lane a few minutes from the beach.
Homestays in the lanes behind Kovalam are a calm alternative to beach-front hotels. Hosts often cook appam, fish curry and puttu, and share tips on less crowded beaches nearby.
Tips
- Confirm whether breakfast is included.
- Ask your hosts about Poovar and the backwaters to the south.
- Carry a torch for walking back from the beach at night.
