Taj Green Cove Resort & Spa Kovalam 

A Balinese-inspired getaway

Taj Green Cove is a one-of-a-kind resort in Kovalam, blending all the things Kerala is famous for: nature, backwaters and the sea.

Spread over 16 acres of thick tropical gardens, Taj Green Cove is set behind a lagoon and a kilometre-long stretch of coastline. There is a J Wellness Circle spa complete with a Naturopathy doctor who can craft a personal wellness plan on request. Guests can enjoy a boat ride with a local fisherman through the serene backwaters or take a dip in the infinity pool with wonderful views over the Arabian Sea.
