Where It Sits
The resort is in Varkala, a town in Thiruvananthapuram district, a tourism hub. This is South Kerala, on the coast, by the sea, at 0 to 45 m. Varkala is a red laterite cliff standing straight out of the Arabian Sea, with a temple town and a pilgrimage tank at the bottom. It is the only cliff on this coast, and geologically the reason the beach exists.
The property lies 1.7 km from the centre of Varkala, about 20 minutes on foot. The cliff path is a walk with the sea two hundred metres below you the whole way. Trains from Thiruvananthapuram and Kollam stop in town, so no car is needed. Papanasam beach below the cliff is a pilgrimage site as well as a swimming beach: dress accordingly.
Who It Suits
Blooming Bay Clifftop Beach Resort suits travellers who want a straightforward 3 star base on the Varkala coast, with breakfast, free WiFi, free parking and a 24 hour front desk. It works for couples and small groups who plan to spend time on the cliff path and the beach. It does not suit anyone expecting a large resort with many facilities, because the listed set is practical rather than extensive.
Planning Your Stay
The season runs from November to March. Cliff erosion work closes stretches of the path in the wet months, so check before you plan a walking holiday. The centre is a 20 minute walk, and the 24 hour front desk helps with arrivals at any time. Breakfast is provided, and the multilingual staff can assist with local questions.
