Kandanvilai is a village in Kanyakumari District in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu.
In 1935, Kandanvilai was attached to the Karankadu parish under the Diocese of Quilon. During this time Mr Packianathan donated his land to a Diocese and requested that a church be built in Kandanvilai [கண்டன்விளை]. The Bishop of the Diocese of Quilon, Most Rev Fr. Aloysius Maria Benziger OCD consented and together with the parish priest of Karankadu came down to Kandanvilai to select a site. The bishop, the priest and the people were overjoyed and confirmed the site for the Church. In Tamil, the vision was interpreted as "Kanavil Kanda Vilai."
It is on the Nagercoil–Monday Nager Highway, 13km (08miles) from Nagercoil.
The nearest railway station is Erainel. The nearest airport is Trivandrum.
Kandanvilai is home to the St. Therese of Infant Jesus Church, the first church built for St. Therese of Lisieux after her Beatification on April 7, 1924.
