Palmleaves Beach Resort  

On a quiet village beach in Puthenthope, Thiruvananthapuram — a family-run beach hotel set about 16 km from the city center and roughly 17–18 km from major city temples and the international airport. Expect rural Kerala vibes and easy access to local sights like museums, malls and Technopark within a short drive.

Twenty rooms with minibars and private balconies look out toward the sand. Rooms feature private bathrooms (showers or deep soaking tubs in some), complimentary toiletries and cable. The property keeps things rustic and authentic — a thatched, open-air beach restaurant among palm trees and daily village life, including fishermen working the shore.

A pristine beach fronts the property and there’s a pool for lazy afternoons and sea-breeze mornings. Wellness offerings include massages, body treatments and facials. On-site conveniences span concierge service, gift shop/newsstand, library, picnic and barbecue areas, tour desk, laundry/dry cleaning, car rental and free self-parking; roundtrip airport shuttle is available for a surcharge.

A conference hall and express check-in make small meetings possible. Complimentary wireless internet (Wi‑Fi) is available throughout, plus luggage storage and dry-cleaning services.

Two on-site restaurants include a newly built open, thatched beach eatery serving fresh home-cooked cuisine and seafood straight from local fishermen. A complimentary continental breakfast is served daily (typically 7:30–10:00 AM), and limited room service is offered.
