Odayam, Varkala and the coast
The address is Odayam Beach, Manthara Edava, Odayam, on the coast of Varkala. Varkala is a town in Thiruvananthapuram district, a tourism hub in South Kerala. Maadathil Cottages stands 4.3 km from the centre of Varkala, on the coast, by the sea.
Varkala 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. The only cliff on this coast, and geologically the reason the beach exists. The district runs from sea level to about 45 m.
Who the cottages suit
Maadathil Cottages suits travellers who want the sea close and a quiet base with a garden and terrace, and who do not mind being 4.3 km from the centre of Varkala. It does not suit anyone who wants the cliff path, shops and restaurants at the door. The 4.7 out of 5 guest score from 1013 reviews indicates that the formula works for most guests.
When to plan a stay
November to March is the season here. In the wet months, cliff erosion work closes stretches of the path. The 24 hour front desk and shuttle service make late arrivals and trips out simpler, and the restaurant means you are not dependent on the town for every meal.
