The stay was very good, it was big enough for 2 people with all the facilities, the location is just 20m away from the cliff view, the varkala beach is just 5mins away. The rooms were very clean and the caretaker Akhil was very helpful , he arranged a rental scooter and dropped us to the bus stop on the day of check-out. The view for the sea from the avanthi restaurant is just beautiful.

I stayed in Varkala for 3 nights. This was mainly due to train timings. 2 nights would’ve been enough. I did a yoga class and auryvedic massage on the last day this would have been better in the second day.
What I did find slightly confusing was the references to North & South Cliff whereas I think South Cliff was an extension of the cliff walk - starting with North cliff.
Plenty of choice for food although a particular favourite was Sun Francisco - the Veg Tali was delicious and good value for money.

Varkala beach is busy very busy on weekends with lots of Indian tourists. The cliff side walk has lots of restaurants and shops. We found the beach a bit rough with the waves but beyond the waves it was calm . The stairs to the beach can be challenging if you have knee issues . It’s has a good atmosphere but we prefer less touristy places hence staying at Odayam each area .

Touristic place.
Touristic place. So lots of restaurants with a large variety of meals, bars, shops, ressorts, loud music, massage.
Best restaurant is Clafouti for me.
Nice beaches, big temple.
This is a tourist destination. India' s soul not there. Crowdy, noisy, pushy salesmen, beggers, stray dogs.
Pretty dirty environment cause of littering.
2 to 3 days stay is enough.

AS OF ME, IT'S NOT SUITABLE FOR THE FAMILY TRAVELLERS, ITS UNSAFE TO ALLOW THE CHILDRENS TO PLAY IN THE SEA SOUR IT HAS DEEPER EVEN IN THE SEA SOUR, BEACH NEAR AREA HAS VERY NARROW ROADS & COJUSTED. I FELT THE CHERAI BEACH IS FAR BETTER THAN THE VARKALA.

Beautiful views from the cliffs, plenty of beaches, option to learn surfing (!), good food, and the most gorgeous mangrove/backwaters (30 mins away).... that's Varakala in nutshell. Lovely cliffside walks with breaks for some ice cream at Scoopy or a whole Israeli breakfast(yummmm) at Buddha Bar. We loved ABBA for all other hunger pangs. Having a rented scooter to go around the places away from the cliffs helps, but there were plenty of Autos as well.

Its took travel time is too far, Kerala roads are not good.
Its took travel time is too far, Kerala roads are not good. Many people not follow traffic rules. Really upset to road travel to Kerala. Many sign boards are shown only in Malayalam Language, we struggled with read.
Except that places are really good and peoples also very friendly.
A beautiful secret escape a stone's throw away from The north cliff! Cliff Cottage is not to be missed! If Varkala's slow pace of life is what you're looking for the cottage is the perfect place to relax! The guys who run it are very helpful and chill. Each room has it's own terrace, the animals on the grounds are as lovely as the garden and you can hear the birds chirping all day! At an affordable price and so close to everything Varkala offers, Cliff Cottage is my favourite place to stay in Varkala!
We loved our stay at Kerala Cottage. The location is perfect, you step out the cottage and you’re 10 steps from a beautiful beach, and stunningly warm ocean.
It was great being just far enough from Varkala cliff to have serenity but also east access to all the restaurants and facilities. The major upside was the lack of others on the beach and not having to climb a cliff after a swim.
All the staff and management couldn’t help us too much, it was a great stay with great breakfasts!
This has to be one of the best beach stays I've had. Clean room, spacious bathroom, the breakfast nook above the reception area has a lovely view. The staff was the sweetest and the most prompt. The beach is within walking distance and the area is serene and perfect for those who prefer less crowd. The resort is at quite a distance from the busy North Cliff area that is packed with cafes, shops and hotels but one can do a small hike to go to the other side or just take an auto,
Location 10/10 - 1 min walk from Varakala cliff
Room 6/10 : basic room with not very hotel like beds but not bad either. It was okayish.
Staff : 10/10 very cordial, friendly. 100/10 for blacky, the dog they have on the property 🥹
There is no TV, the charging ports aren't near the bed, toilet clogs every time you flush.
Had a good stay overall. But kinda expensive if it's not for the location, I wouldn't pay 3K a night to stay here
Food is very good especially veg. Children would love to eat Dal kichdi which is complementary too. Access to resort from Varkala sivagiri station was convenient. If people wanted to see the north cliff especially shopping and dining, we can take the road uphill by walk or auto. If u want to access the beach down, best route would be taking a walk close to Janardanaswamy temple. Kaveri elephant park is worth watching.
The stay was very good, it was big enough for 2 people with all the facilities, the location is just 20m away from the cliff view, the varkala beach is just 5mins away. The rooms were very clean and the caretaker Akhil was very helpful , he arranged a rental scooter and dropped us to the bus stop on the day of check-out. The view for the sea from the avanthi restaurant is just beautiful.
great central location within easy reach of the cliff and beach. staff were friendly and helpful. they have a kitchen where you can store food etc and you can also buy hot/cold drinks, breakfasts, other meals and also provide drinking water free of charge so no need to keep buying plastic bottles. I had a private room which was spacious and comfortable. there is also a communal terrace.
This is the best place to stay in Varkala. It is very close to the cliff, nevertheless very quiet and cosy and the rooms are spaciious and very clean with a very nice balkony. The people are very friendly, helping their guests with everything and making them feel at home. I liked this place so much that I came back here and I can highly recommend this place to everyone.
Good location - close enough to the beach but away from the tourism of North Cliff. Opposite an auto rickshaw stop so you can get everywhere easily. Lovely and helpful owner who provides an excellent breakfast (home made brown bread is yum!) Nice, clean rooms in an Indian homely style. Powerful AC. Discount at excellent spa 2 doors down.
The hospitality and food was exceptional. The owner makes sure to serve your food personally and be always present for your service. They make you feel like guests and not tourists. Walking distance from the helipad and all the cafes in North cliff. A must stay if you’re in Varkala.
This villa is really beautiful. Room and the place was very clean. Hosts were very welcoming and we were offered welcome drinks as well as a continental breakfast. It’s located in a peaceful neighbourhood but still an easy access to the cliff and beach with 15 mins walk
We had a great stay...room was really neat and clean... services are really good and most exciting thing is,the location very nearest to the beach and really enjoyed the stay 🥰 again and again we suggest this as the best place to stay in Varkala cliff
I loved how the property is located close to the north cliff and yet affordable. The host was very helpful and kind, we had the most wonderful time at Varkala. what I loved most is the adorable little dog of the owner, who welcomes all with a smile .
Feel good at the check-in, Excellent hospitality by Abhilash & Family.
This place is just walking distance from the cliff.
Very easy to reach from railway station too.
Total a best place to enjoy Varkala.
Looking forward to stay again. 😊
It sits at the prime location. Most restaurants are accessible from the hostel on foot. You can always get auto from the helipad parking. Beach is 2min down the cliff hike. Food inside the hostel is decent.
friendly and kind staff. great location to beach and cliffs. clean facilities. hot shower. plenty of parking. vibe\chi of the place. responsive host,. access to fridge to store food. recommended.
