Tourism
Koduvila's primary tourist draw is the Ashtamudi Lake, which surrounds most parts of this beautiful village. The proximity of another tourist spot viz Munroe Island has contributed much to the development of this village. Tourism is still undeveloped due to a lack of infrastructure such as hotels and home stays. The nearest airport is the Thiruvananthapuram International Airport. The nearest railway station is at Kollam. There is also a small railway station in Munroe Island (4 km).
