A statement hotel perched on the stunning shores of Kovalam, Gokulam Grand Turtle On The Beach draws you into a realm where the Arabian Sea gently kisses the sands, inviting exploration and introspection. As you step into the grand lobby, prepare for an immediate visual feast: the contrast of cool marble floors underfoot against the warm tones of intricately designed Asian art pieces lining the walls. The inviting staff, ready with a gracious welcome, set the tone for an experience steeped in refined contemporary opulence. Ascend to the rooftop terrace for breathtaking views of the coastline as the sun dips below the horizon; gather for artisanal cocktails at the Zero° Bar, known for its vibrant ambience and striking decor. The dining experience is equally compelling; at The Catamaran, a multi-cuisine marvel, each dish is met with an artistry that reflects the lush local produce spun into culinary masterpieces. Indulge in wellness at the full-service spa, rejuvenated by treatments inspired by ancient traditions, perfectly harmonized with the tranquil coastal backdrop.

Explore the Local Area

Kovalam, a haven of sandy shores and azure waves, offers an authentic connection to Kerala's rich heritage. Stroll the lively beachfront with its famed Chinese fishing nets, explore the serene green pathways that lead to the iconic Vizhinjam Lighthouse, and enjoy leisurely hours at the nearby Kovalam Beach and Light House Beach (both just 0.5 km away). Nearby attractions such as the Tibetan Gallery (0.5 km) and Sagarika Marine Research Aquarium (1.5 km) invite curiosity and wonder. A swift 15 km transfer from Thiruvananthapuram International Airport efficiently connects travelers to this picturesque locale, ensuring effortless access to both cultural and natural marvels.
