Halcyon Castle, also known as Kovalam Palace, is a historic landmark situated in the coastal town of Kovalam in Kerala, India. Built in 1932 by M.R. Sri Rama Varma Valiya Koil Thampuran, the consort of Maharani Sethu Lakshmi Bayi, as a summer retreat, it exhibits a unique blend of traditional Kerala architecture with colonial influences. Once a private residence of the Travancore Royal Family, the castle has since changed hands and functions and has been transformed into an upscale hotel. Nestled amidst natural beauty, the castle is surrounded by groves of swaying coconut trees, and is just a stone's throw away from the famous Kovalam Beach, making it a popular destination for tourists seeking both cultural experiences and beachside relaxation. Its stately charm and verdant setting represent the regal splendor of bygone eras, offering visitors a glimpse into the royal heritage of Kerala.
