Ensuring that you carry the right essentials can help you and your kids make the most of your time on your trip to Kovalam.
From carrying appropriate swimming gear to choosing from the right hotels in Kovalam, plan your trip based on the checklist given below:
Swimming Gear
Kovalam has a number of beaches and islands that tourists can visit. From Lighthouse Beach and Hawa Beach to Poovar Island and the Vizhinjam Lighthouse, Kovalam offers a variety of attractions for kids. Many of these attractions are located near water bodies. Your kids might naturally want to play in the water at these locations and can often ask you to join them. You can stay prepared for these situations by carrying the appropriate swimwear and accessories with you. Swimwear can also come in handy when you or your kids might want to access a swimming pool facility at one of the Kovalam beach resorts/Kovalam hotels.
Tours
To ensure that you don’t spend a lot of time asking for directions and searching for landmarks, book your stay at a reputed hotel that can organise a tour for you. On a tour, you can worry less about where you’re going and focus more on your kids as you travel in Kovalam. You can also check if the hotel in Kovalam that you’ve planned to book your stay in can arrange for a guide to help you with the tour.
Additional Apparel
Planning a trip to Kovalam, or any location that is filled with beaches and islands should always include the carrying of some extra set of clothes. Children, being naturally enthusiastic and playful, might not bother at times, to change their attire before jumping into the water. At times like these, you could need an extra set of clothes as you wouldn’t want your kids to be soaking wet all day, after some playtime in the water.
Medicines
Beach holidays come with beautiful coastal waters, sand, and sunshine, but can also bring with them the possibility of rashes, sunburn, itching, bites/stings. Kids can often be uninhibited in their eagerness to play and may often spend long durations in the hot sun or in wild areas that could inhabit insects. Apart from keeping a close eye on your kids and preventing from going overboard while playing, you can carry over-the-counter/prescribed medicines on your trip. Carrying medicines can also save you some trips to the pharmacy during your trip.
Accommodation with facilities
Choosing from good Kovalam hotels or Kovalam beach resorts that come with an assortment of facilities can play an important role on your trips. For instance, if you plan to go for an Ayurvedic session at your hotel, you wouldn’t want your kids to get bored/be idle. For times like these, a hotel that comes with facilities like swimming pool, cultural programmes, indoor and outdoor games, a kids playroom, can be of great help. Ensure that your checklist includes such facilities to help you make your selection from the hotels in Kovalam.
