Featuring a garden and free Wi-Fi access throughout, Mango Villa offers rooms in Varkala, a 5-minute walk from the beachfront.

With a balcony, each room has a private bathroom with a shower and free toiletries. Some rooms have air conditioning.

I had an amazing stay at Mango Villa. As a solo female traveller I felt very safe, Damini and Anmol are very welcoming and friendly. The rooms are big and clean and have a beautiful balcony. It is perfectly located (2 min. walk to the cliff). I ended up staying here 3 times, I found it to be the best homestay in Varkala, I would definitely recommend it! :)

At the guest house, each unit includes a desk. All units come with a kettle and a private bathroom with a bath and free toiletries, while selected rooms have a fully equipped kitchen equipped with a dishwasher. At the guest house, some units are allergy-free.

At the guest house, the family-friendly restaurant is open for dinner and serves Italian cuisine.

Breakfast was not given so cannot comment on that and to understand the location varkala beach has a cliff and all restaurants and stays are on the cliff and it was 100m away from the end point of cliff , so for location it was good for 3 people stay

    Great location - short walk to the cliff top. There’s a shop opposite which is handy. The main positive about this hostel is how social it is. The hosts have things organised every day so it’s easy to meet people. I extended my stay twice!

    Villa Jacandra is all about understated style that blends traditional Indian elements with modern convenience and comfort. Ajay is a charming and much travelled host with lots of interesting advice. He also cooks and along with the small team produce fabulous breakfasts daily and memorable veg. meals to order. The real star though is Roomie the jet black cocker who closely inspects the gardens and down stairs rooms for signs of disorder.
