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.

Amazing location

Reviewed By Cash8288

The hotels warm feeling and good service is over and above the AMAZING location ! I have not rated it 5 stars cos it needs a little modernisation and maintenance :) The location of the hotel is right near to the beach, walkable distance though that path is closed in the rains.

Magnolia Guesthouse

Magnolia Guest House is a little paradise in Varkala, Kerala. Magnolia has beautiful view over Indian Ocean. From Magnolia, there is only 3 minutes walk to a number of beautiful and romantic beaches which provides privacy and happy times. 10 minutes walk away from Magnolia is the Varkala North Cliff and the main beach where you can enjoy the thrills and pills of various restaurants, shopping or a game of beach football or volleyball.

A beautiful place to stay with very good service and tasty food !

Reviewed By claudiagB7563PU

I spent three wonderful weeks at Magnolia Guesthouse in March/April. I had a bungalow with a view of the sea and the palm trees. The owner Ameersha Salim and his staff were always very friendly and helpful. The food in the restaurant is also very tasty. Attention was also paid to the cleaning of the pool. I was particularly impressed by the design of the garden with the flowering variety of plants. The beautiful, quiet Odayam Beach is only a 2-minute walk from the guesthouse. Thank you Magnolia Guesthouse team for a great time!

Varkala Marine Palace

We are one of the prime properties as far as Varkala is concerned owing to our location. We are rightly on Papanasam beach, ideally in between the north & South Cliffs. We do have road accessibility inside to our resort. We offers 6 sea face extra spacious (suites) high end rooms, with private kitchen, attached toilets, balconies overlooking sea, running hot water as the specialties. Three rooms are on top floor, made in traditional Kerala style wooden cottage types.

Excellent Stay!

Reviewed By Somarupa

We booked a super deluxe room which came with a personal patio, kitchen and open air shower. The rooms are sea facing and clean built in traditional wooden architecture. The hotel is right on the Papanasam beach, so you can walk late night on the sea shore or go for a early morning sea bath. The manager was very helpful in arranging a two-wheeler for us. They have an attached restaurant also, which serves decent food and beer. Overall a very pleasant experience. Rooms have wifi, drinking water and hot water facility

Was there for 3 weeks and was as happy as can be! The room was very comfortable, clean and spacious. They have security in the building which made me feel very safe. It is conveniently located from the Cliff. My sheets were changed regularly, the room cleaned and sprayed for bugs. The staff was kind, helpful and always had a smile on their face. Abishek and Aji made sure I always had everything I needed and that my needs were being met. I will definitely be going back and staying at this property.

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.

This was my second time, and we will keep staying at this place whenever we will visit Varkala as it is just a fantastic place to stay if you are visiting Varkala. Well maintained property with pool facility. Walking distance from the helipad, cliff and beach. Amicable, courteous staff. Tasty food. Family-friendly atmosphere. The stay was excellent. The rooms were neat and clean. Well maintained swimming pool. We also had a great time in the pool. Breakfast was superb with wide varieties. Special mention about Mr Praveen, GM, is a very cheerful, active and pleasant person to interact with. Overall, the place is excellent, and I will definitely recommend staying in Sajjoy’s.
