Panchavadi Ayurvedic Beach Resort offers accommodations in Varkala. It offers various massage services. Free private parking is available on site.

I had an amazing time at Panchavadi Beach Resort. Good price for good quality in a safe and charming location very close to Varkala Beach, the hotel benefits from a generous and quiet natural environment. My room was very decent, all the amenities we needed were there, good wifi, several electrical outlets in different places in the room as well as in the bathroom and in addition on a window there was a mosquito filter for that the air comes inside and cools the temperature of the room, I hardly used the automatic ventilation. From the hotel you are close to visit everything interesting in Varkala, (near the hotel there are rickshaws to transport you everywhere or a bus stop, just ask the staff at the hotel hotel team) centers and schools of: Ayurveda, massages, Yoga, and other places of health or Arts, the beautiful Sri Janardanaswamy temple with its large swimming pool, other temples, the city, the cliffs red with the charming restaurants cafes and shops, the fishing village, other beaches, the city with the market, the cinema, the station or if you want to go and do other activities in the region. The staff of the Panchavadi team is really one of the best I have known, it's like a family, they are professional, kind, smiling, respectful and always there to answer you if you have any questions or requests about Varkala and activities (ex: ayurveda, massages) or other excursions and visits to do during your stay, ask them if you need and they will be happy to help you. I felt like home and enjoyed my stay in the best possible way for a solo traveler, I can only recommend this place to everyone.

We felt really comfortable at Gipsy Walker Guesthouse. The rooms were spotless clean and had comfortable furniture, also a closet was provided to store clothes. Moreover, the balcony was very spacious and nice to hang out and the rooftop was great for morning yoga (mats provided). The staff was amazing and very helpful and we can definitely recommend the delicious homemade food.

    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.

    The main beach of Varkala - around the helipad area- has gone through an unhealthy and unregulated development over the years. It has lost its rural charm. Head north - beyond the mosque. There you`ll find hidden treasures: Odayam beach, Baba`s restaurant, and some other places on the small hillock. The lotus pond with the buffaloes is a magical place.

    i'd highly suggest that the beach visit should be at noon or go to the black sand beach. the view the water everything is better over there. But that too gets crowded after 16:30. must do would be kayaking with mangrove village adventures and surfing at black sand beach. you can even go for a boat ride at munroe island. Do go to the soul by lost hostels and rent out a bike to ride around

    Stayed a night at Soul, Varkala, easily one of the best and comfortable hotel stays I ever had. The cliff is only few mins walk from the place. The rooms, bathrooms are spacious and are very clean. Really appreciate their extra care for cleanliness. They have spacious parking, campfire facility and open areas in nature with hammocks to unwind. Soham, the manager of the place, is very helpful and friendly. All staffs are attentive and humble. To anyone looking for a stay at Varkala, this is the best option.

    The Mansion is few meters from the beautiful cliff near Manthara Temple . Varkala beach & cliff is just 10 minutes drive. Peaceful to spend time with Family . Host gives his best to meet all the tourist needs. He did in fact arranged a scooter for us to visit Jatayu statue (500 per day). Since I had chosen breakfast- it was served from his home from the vicinity. Overall it was a peaceful & joyful vacation with my wife and kid. At last Sanjeev the host arranged auto also for us to reach railway station .

    The positive, and friendly vibe of the place was enhanced because of the owner, his pets and the other friendly guests! The room, decor and location was as advertised. However, what was not advertised is the friendly and accommodating nature of the host! If you like pets/animals, this is your place to stay in Varkala. It is also located close to the cliff, beach and many restaurants. Looking forward to staying here again, the next time I'm in Varkala!

    This place has a peaceful vibe and everything is just cool. The staff, volunteers and guests are amazing. Imagine people coming back to stay at this hostel and it's only been a year since they started. So, I highly recommend this place if you want a peaceful vibe and a beach nearby. It's not a party place like other hostels in Varkala, this is a place with a vibe to it. If you meet ingie and choto please say 'hi' and play with them.

    Clean spacious room with the bathroom and shaded balcony. Good location, close to the all happenings on the cliff and to my favourite Black Beach. The greenery around gives break from the heat. Extra points for the drinking water :) I also appreciate the fact that there was always someone from management to help. I came way before check-in time as my train arrived in early morning and my room was ready in 15 minutes.

    Right on the beach, the views from the resort were breathtaking! It was so peaceful and relaxing. The family and staff managing the place were very courteous and helpful. They even provided us with a scooter to explore Varkala and helped arranging a cab back to the airport. The sunset views were the best from here..even better than what we saw in the varkala cliff/market areas!

    The best part i can say it's closed to Varkala Jaganathan temple and the beach. This is the only and only reason to book this hotel. The next one as my booking for 1 night which later i planned to extend one more day, which i asked the property directly, that is managed by Mr.Hari. They were doing charity for needy people that's really appreciated.

About 20 mins walk to South Cliff with selection of excellent restaurants. You can walk 10 mins and get a bus for 10 rupees to town centre and railway station.

    This place is perfect because it’s the only resort directly at the varkala beach. everyone else needs to climb down the cliff while you just step out onto the sand.
