6 Top-Rated Specialty lodgings in Varkala Town, Varkala, Thiruvananthapuram District, Kerala

May 7, 2023 Natalie Tallman

Let the beautiful coastal town of Varkala melt your worries and tensions away. Varkala’s peaceful seaside cliffs adjoin the Arabian Sea, setting the scene for several water spouts and wellness spas. The waters lapping at Papanasam beach are considered to have holy, sin-cleansing properties, and the nearby Ayurveda treatment center will cleanse what the ocean missed.

Very Disappointed

Reviewed By aparnac_111

The hotel has been rated 4 star but has no amenities of a 4 star hotel. We stayed in Garden View Rooms which was priced at Rs 3100 per night for a twin bedroom. Very poorly maintained property with lots of insects and mosquitoes at night. The bathrooms were stinking. Not recommended for families.

Thiruvambadi Beach Retreat

Loved the swinging day bed!

Reviewed By r0ban

We spent three nights at this hotel (also branded as Namasthe) which is at the quieter south end of Varkala Cliff and absolutely loved our stay. The only downside was the pool wasn’t fully operational until the day we had to check out, despite the staff working really hard to have it fixed earlier. It wasn’t a problem though, as the beach was utterly phenomenal, and we spent many hours in that beautiful warm sea. The rooms at the hotel were clean and really generously sized. Aircon and hot water were great and the wifi was ok as well. My favourite place to hang out was on the swinging daybed. It was the perfect place to read and relax. It’s just a short walk to all the attractions of the Cliff and we had some memorable sunset cocktails and excellent meals — potato and cheese momos were a standout. The staff at the hotel were super honest and helpful. We would not hesitate to recommend a stay here.

Green House Ayurvedic Resort

Reviewed By Basia2022

It was a pleasure staying at Green House Ayurvedic Resort, which is 3 minutes walking from the Sea. Green House is a great resort with excellent ayurvedic treatmens, good food, cozy rooms, yoga space for practice (props available) and extraordinary service. I spent there one month doing my Panchakarma which was amazing. Rajeev and Hari are professional therapists with huge experience, very helpful and friendly. Overall the experience was brilliant and I enjoyed it a lot. I will definitely come there again and would recommend this place to anyone looking for professional ayurvedic treatment or retreat. Hari and Rajeev - many thanks for all your help, support and great treatment!

Agasthya Ayurvedic Wellness Centre

Lovely experience with the Doctor and her lovely therapists

Reviewed By Kazlovestomove

We stumbled upon the doctor by chance with no prior booking and she welcomed us with open arms and was very accommodating to fit in with our other holiday plans . What a warm and beautiful person,so caring and genuine. We didn't stay there but had a few treatments over the 3 days. The girls were clearly well trained and knowledgeable and we felt very nurtured. This was the real Ayurvedic experience and Dr Suthry spent a lot of time with us and was genuinely interested in our well being. I hope to return one day.

The Lungi Vibe

The Lungi Vibe has 10 private rooms and 18 dorms. We are situated on the north cliff. Only walkable distance to the main beach and black beach.

Wonderful hostel!!! It felt like home!

Reviewed By breathingtree

Great location and great atmosphere of the place. With my private porch surrounded by a lush garden I was able to have private time, but if I wanted to meet the other guests I could just go to the outdoor eating/communal hangout area. A rare match for backpackers/budget travelers in the area. Good standards to prive ratio, and amazingly helpful people running the place. Close to several great places to eat. Guests are interesting, but so are Alsin and Julie who rum the place. Their friends also drop by and hang out on a regular basis which makes it easy to get to know locals too. I could not recommend this place more!

Varkala stay with sea view

Reviewed By VASANTH R

Cozy, beautiful, and comfortable stay, comes within budget. Safe access to a small back sand beach with privacy. Breakfast served in house, home cooked for the day. Host was amazing and got us arranged for everything we asked for. Over all happy experience. Will visit again.
