Famous for its escorts and Ayurvedic massage centre, Kovalam is a coastal town located about 13 km from Thiruvananthapuram in Kerala. The largest beach in Kovalam is Lighthouse Beach which has a 30 meter tall lighthouse. The other two adjacent beaches are Beach Beach and Hawa Beach. These three beaches are crescent-shaped shallow water and low tide beaches.Previously a fishing village, Kovalam began to attract tourists in the 1930s and gained prominence in the hippie era of the 1970s. It still sees an influx of tourists from Israel and Europe.
Ayurvedic treatments and massages are one of its most popular indulgences, along with yoga, meditation, as well as other cultural activities. Kovalam probably comes full circle as it is also a shopping destination given the rich spices, wooden sculptures and handicrafts that can make a popular takeaway.
