A striking presence on the shores of Vizhinjam, Little Elephant Beach Resort is a destination that elegantly marries Indian hospitality with coastal charm. Located a mere 20 meters from the pristine sands of Lighthouse Beach, the resort invites guests into a haven of comfort and sophistication. As you step through the entrance, the fresh sea air envelops you while the warm, inviting colors of the lobby create an immediate sense of calm. Eye-catching local artwork adorns the walls, inspired by the vibrancy of the region, while your eyes dance over the tasteful furnishings and polished marble floors. The atmosphere here is one of relaxed elegance, hinting at the indulgences that await throughout your stay. Ascend to the rooftop, where sweeping views of the Arabian Sea provide a breathtaking backdrop for sunset cocktails, or retreat to the spa, where treatments are tailored to refresh both body and spirit.

Explore the Local Area

Ideally situated just 13 km from the bustling Trivandrum bus and train station, and 20 km from Thiruvananthapuram International Airport, the Little Elephant Beach Resort offers easy access to local wonders. Take a leisurely five-minute stroll to the beach, where you can indulge in sun-soaked days or engage in yoga sessions on the shore. Nearby attractions like the Sagarika Marine Research Aquarium (0.5 km away) and the Tibetan Gallery (1 km) reveal the cultural richness of the area. Coveted Kovalam Beach, along with the charming Napier Museum and the ornate Sree Padmanabha Swamy Temple, are both a scenic 30-minute drive away. Guests are ideally positioned to explore local neighborhoods, bustling markets, and enjoy authentic culinary experiences within a stone's throw of the resort.

Room Information

Little Elephant Beach Resort comprises five doubles bedrooms, each designed with meticulous attention to detail. Each room features a king-sized bed, en suite bathroom with a shower, and a private balcony offering stunning beach views. Amenities include air conditioning, a refrigerator, complimentary WiFi, and a dining table - perfect for intimate meals. The spacious layout, highlighted by tastefully tiled marble flooring and elegant furnishings, ensures a refined, comfortable retreat, whether for leisure or work. Each room boasts a charming sitting area that enhances the home-like feel.

Room Upgrades

Guests seeking additional space and comfort will appreciate the upgrade options available. The first-floor double rooms measure approximately 350 sq ft, and feature a terrace with sea views, along with kitchen amenities, including cookware and a toaster. Meanwhile, the upgraded suites span 450 sq ft, accommodating up to three guests with an additional sofa bed for extra comfort. Each upgraded suite incorporates a separate living area, enhancing the experience of plush relaxation. Upgraded bookings come with even finer details, such as premium toiletries and exclusive access to spa services at an enhanced rate.

“I think this is a particularly good find on Lighthouse Beach, located in a quieter area yet still convenient to many restaurants. I was impressed by reports of exceptional cleanliness, a friendly staff, and, usefully, rooms that include a fridge and kettle for making coffee. I believe the sea views and complimentary bathroom products further enhance its appeal.”
