Uday Samudra Leisure Beach Hotel

Set on Kovalam’s serene shoreline in Neyyattinkara, Uday Samudra Leisure Beach Hotel perches just 15 meters from the sea and steps from Samudra Beach Park. You’re minutes from Kovalam Beach, Hawah Beach and Vellayani Lake, and roughly 12–15 km from Trivandrum International Airport.

This upscale 5-star leisure beach hotel spreads across four acres of lawns, coconut groves and blue pools and offers over 170 rooms and suites with sea views. Rooms feature minibars, work desks and cable/digital programming; many bathrooms include tubs and separate showers and rooms are individually decorated for a relaxed, coastal vibe.

Wellness is front and center with a full-service spa, a health club/gym, sauna and three sea-facing outdoor pools — including a poolside sunken bar — plus an arcade/game room and hair salon. Expect concierge services, gift shop options, free self-parking and the kind of sea-breeze mornings that make slow starts feel essential.

The hotel offers a business center and conference facilities, 24-hour front desk service and wireless internet access (in-room access may carry a surcharge), plus airport shuttle service available for a fee.

Choose from four on-site restaurants including CAFE CHARLIE, a coffee shop and poolside bar, with a multi-cuisine restaurant serving lavish à la carte and buffet spreads and live-band nights on special occasions. 24-hour room service is available and buffet breakfasts are offered daily for a fee.
