Where it sits
The address is Thiruvambadi Beach North Cliff, in Varkala, a town in Thiruvananthapuram district, a tourism hub. It is 3 km from the centre of Varkala, in South Kerala. The property is on the coast, by the sea. Varkala is the destination, a coast at 0 to 45 m.
The destination is a red laterite cliff standing straight out of the Arabian Sea, with a temple town and a pilgrimage tank at the bottom of it. It is the only cliff on this coast, and geologically the reason the beach exists. Papanasam beach below the cliff is a pilgrimage site as well as a swimming beach, so dress accordingly. Trains from Thiruvananthapuram and Kollam stop in town, so no car is needed.
Who it suits
This property suits travellers who want a cliff-top base with a pool, a garden and a terrace, and who value a large body of guest feedback behind the 4.1 out of 5 score. It also suits those who prefer to arrive by train, since no car is needed. It does not suit anyone expecting a central Varkala location, because the property is 3 km from the centre of Varkala, nor those who want a quiet beach scene at all hours, since Papanasam beach is a pilgrimage site and dress codes apply.
Planning a stay
The season is November to March. In the wet months, cliff erosion work closes stretches of the path. If your visit falls in that period, expect some routes along the cliff to be unavailable. The property lists a shuttle service, which is useful given the distance from the centre of Varkala, and free parking if you arrive by car. Book with the season in mind.
