Fodor's Expert Review The Leela Kovalam
Beach Rd., Kovalam, Kerala, 695527, India
All rooms at this luxurious property are large and have balconies offering sea views; beachfront chalets also have private compounds. The main block of the Leela was designed by one of India's most famous architects, Charles Correa, and is built in tiers on a bluff overlooking the Arabian Sea. The enormous lobby, with a sloping roof, is lit by massive skylights. Golf carts take you around the property.
PROS

CONS
- pricey

- getting to the bars and restaurants on Lighthouse Beach is a bit of a walk
