Lock in a great price for Maadathil Cottages - rated 9.5 by recent guests.

to get started.

Ros, United Kingdom

Staff are so friendly, welcoming and accommodating. They go the extra mile to ensure your stay is as pleasant as possible. It’s also very calm and relaxing, the perfect retreat.

Alan, United Kingdom

Superb service, amazing beachfront breakfasts, excellent location on quiet part of beach but still accessible.

Richard, United Kingdom

Beautiful location , fantastic staff who go out of their way to help with everything. Nothing is too much trouble .

Amanda, United Kingdom

Staff were really friendly, always up for a casual chat, and helped with any query we had. The beach is literally yards away, which is really the big draw of the place. Odayam beach is more chilled out than Varkala, less busy and far more beautiful, but if you want to do the cliff and Varkala beach it's only a walk to the other end of the beach from the cottages and it's all there. Stay at Odayam, and it's the best of both worlds. Definitely heading back here on our next trip!!

Morgan, United Kingdom

Beautiful resort, located a short walk from the main Varkala area - peaceful, comfortable and picturesque. Absolutely amazing food in the restaurant, which only caters for guests (not the general public) so everything is cooked to order - the food we had was incredible. Great breakfast too, comfortable rooms, very friendly and helpful staff.

Mfisicismcowic, Ireland

The room was as pictured, the bed was comfortable, the a/c worked well (and quietly), the waves were near (if not directly seen), the grounds are pretty, the ocean is lovely with a sandy, quiet beach (we saw dolphins only 50m from shore), but most of all, the staff does everything they can to help you out with everything from info to rickshaws. They even made us a small meal AFTER the restaurant closed, even though we were just late to dinner. There's a yoga school next door, so yoga is available every morning at 8am (and some afternoons, too), plus our hotel gave us a couple yoga mats to borrow. I highly, highly recommend staying here if you like it quiet and peaceful.

Danielle, USA

Odyam is everything we wanted after travelling south from Mumbai. Maadathil Cottages capped off a wonderful experience in India. We will visit again! Thank to all at this lovely resort. See you for New Year 2021.

Lyn, United Kingdom

Great location removed from the crowds at the cliffs, very friendly staff and even if not luxurious a place one could easily spend long quiet days.

Christian, Germany

We loved this place from start to finish. It's beautiful - you can sleep in a cool room with the sound of the ocean. Then lay and read in the hammocks with sea eagles flying overhead. It's 20 minutes walk down the beach to Varkala cliff but that suited us as it's pretty noisy there. The staff were great - the main guy Anis spoke good English and just sorted everything you needed. The food was really good and cheap. Take a torch to get back at night.
