Soma Palmshore
India, Indian Subcontinent
Kovalam
With its ocean views and serene setting, the Soma Palmshore is the place to go for a relaxing, rejuvenating holiday. The famous Light House Beach is just a stone's throw away. A little further out, the shops, restaurants and coconut trees of Kovalam make it a great place for a day out. A little sightseeing perhaps, but nothing too strenuous - then it's back to the hotel to relax a little bit more.
The Soma Palmshore in Kerela Kovalam is the perfect place to unwind:
You know you're going to enjoy a relaxing holiday when you can see and hear the ocean from your hotel. Staying at the Soma Palmshore - just 50 metres from Light House Beach - you can feel the stresses and strains of life simply melting away.
If you take your relaxation seriously, then you can enjoy a wonderful Ayurveda spa treatment too. The treatments can help soothe your mind and body and leave you feeling refreshed and ready for anything.
The beauty salon is a good place to go next. Or perhaps pop into one of the restaurants for a snack or a delicious meal. Let's not forget the swimming pool - a great place to get together with friends and enjoy the perfect blue skies and glorious sunshine. The Soma Palmshore really is given over to your enjoyment.
With smart sea-facing rooms, and rooms overlooking the garden, you'll want to make full use of your balcony and really drink the views in too. The option to upgrade to a Deluxe room is also available - just ask when you book. All rooms come with satellite TV, telephone, and hairdryer (on request). If you need to stay connected whilst your away, Wi-Fi is available in the lobby.
With your very own private beach to enjoy and opportunities to relax everywhere, your stay at the Soma Palmshore will be a wonderfully laidback experience.

My stay at soma palm shore beach resort
Had a really lovely stay at Soma Palmshore Beach Resort. The location is just beautiful—right by the beach, with such calming vibes all around. It’s a perfect place to relax, enjoy nature, and just slow down. The Ayurveda therapies and peaceful environment made it even more special.
Apart from the therapies, the food was amazing! I’ve never seen so many varieties in satvik food, and every dish was just perfect in taste.
The staff was warm and took great care of everything. I highly recommend this resort if you love nature and want to truly unwind. 🌊✨

Worst Hospitality Experience – Poor Food, Rude Staff, and Safety Concerns
Very disappointing experience. We were served burnt milk tea, and even after complaining, the replacement tea tasted the same. The dinner was equally disappointing, with excessive salt in both the noodles and fried rice, making them difficult to eat.
The restaurant and hotel staff were unable to provide several items we ordered, and there were repeated issues in understanding and taking our order correctly, even when communicated clearly in English.
One of the biggest concerns was safety. Access to the beach was through a small, old, and potentially dangerous gate, which is especially risky for children, elderly guests, and families.
The overall attitude of the manager and staff was unprofessional and discourteous. Two ladies in our group were spoken to rudely, and we felt that guests were not being treated equally and respectfully. Hospitality should never be influenced by a guest's caste, colour, language, or background.
The experience was so unpleasant that we checked out after just one night, despite having paid for two nights. Unfortunately, this was one of the worst hospitality experiences we have had.
The management should focus on improving food quality, staff behaviour, communication skills, guest safety, and ensuring that every guest is treated with dignity and respect.
I would not recommend this property based on my experience.
