FAQs about hotels in Varkala
What guests said about Varkala:
- 10Scored 10
I stayed in Varkala for 3 nights.
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.DeniceUnited Kingdom - 8.0Scored 8.0

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 .jannelle54Australia - 8.0Scored 8.0
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.
AmritaIndia - 8.0Scored 8.0

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.

- From ¥8,856 per night9.7Scored 9.7ExceptionalRated exceptional· 288 reviewsThis 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,
EileenIndia - From ¥3,625 per night10Scored 10ExceptionalRated exceptional· 1 reviewSkyframe Villa, operated by Skyframe Beach Resort, is a calm homestay situated on the quiet Southern Cliff. It features several garden view rooms and provides easy beach access through the well-kept stairs of the Skyframe Beach Resort, positioned a few meters away. Guests have access to the Skyframe Beach Resort's ocean-facing garden. The staff is efficient and friendly, contributing to a positive atmosphere. I stayed there for four satisfactory nights.

- From ¥3,374 per night8.1Scored 8.1Very goodRated very good· 305 reviewsLocation 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
KapildevIndia - From ¥5,271 per night9.4Scored 9.4SuperbRated superb· 28 reviewsFriendly and personable staff helped us with questions, advice and arranging transport. The location is a good choice in the Varkala area, as it is more relaxed and less touristic than north cliff. Odayam beach is also nicer for swimming. Breakfast was more western style but delicious, generous and fresh with lots of choices including fruit and fresh juices. Our room was simple and cool with a nice day need to lounge on the porch.EllaAustralia
