Once upon a laid back fishing village Kovalam is now an international beach wedding destination. The beach town is located by the Arabian Sea and is silhouetted by the giant palm trees and that’s what the name Kovalam literally translates to: the grove of coconut trees.
Wikipedia Trivia: It is the only international beach in India.
Located just 16kms away from Trivandrum the capital city, it is easily accessible. It has three beaches separated by rocky outcroppings in its coastline and together the three beaches Lighthouse, Hawa and Samudra make the crescent of Kovalam beach. While Lighthouse and Hawa are relatively touristy, outlined with shops, ayurvedic and yoga centres, shacks and restaurants, Samudra beach is more peaceful and quaint with upmarket resorts and restaurants.
A beach wedding at one of the spectacular’s beach in God’s own country is forever a wonderful idea. Soft lighting, sound and sight of sea waves, an endless stretch of coconut trees, fresh flowers, delectable cuisine, traditional music, and dance, everything just comes together to make your wedding surreal.
