Tucked into the southern curl of Lighthouse Beach, the 14 elegant and refreshingly spacious rooms at this stylish pad gaze out on the beach from private balconies beyond sliding French doors. Wooden furniture, terracotta-tiled floors and earthy patterned textiles create a simple-chic look, while the terrace hosts the excellent restaurant Fusion and there's a brand-new pool.
The same team runs Kovalam's equally popular, more affordable Beach Hotel nearby.
