500 metres from Samudra Beach in Kovalam, Ganesh House Ayurveda Homestay provides accommodation with access to a sauna, spa facilities and wellness packages.

I really liked the hotel and the hospitable hosts. It’s a great place where I was able to relax. There is hot water, and everything is very clean. I highly recommend it if you’re looking for an affordable weekend stay. The people in the area are very friendly. Plus, there are beautiful cliffs and a park nearby, which make for a lovely atmosphere.

    Loved the stay in Santa Maria Kovalam. Not only it's value for money but also such lovely hosts and perfect location from beach. Any one travelling around it's worthy to stay here. Beach just a few steps. Host Siraj was a wonderful friend. And mind-blowing art works are going on for the property by Appu.

    Shida was a lovely hostess - communication was excellent, and she was very helpful - We enjoyed some interesting conversations. Shida told us about local events , such as the festival in the nearby temple. She helped us and other guests with travel arrangements. Her staff were also kind and helpful. The location was good - slightly away from the busy seafront which I liked. We felt very safe and that our room was secure. It was a relaxing and happy stay.
