On Papanasham Cliff in Varkala
The property lies on Papanasham Cliff in Varkala, a town in Thiruvananthapuram district, in South Kerala. It is 2.6 km from the centre of Varkala. The setting is on the coast, by the sea. Varkala itself is a tourism hub, known for its red laterite cliff standing straight out of the Arabian Sea, with a temple town and a pilgrimage tank at the bottom of it. That cliff is the only one on this coast and is geologically the reason the beach exists.
Who should book here
Raja Park Beach Resort suits guests who want a cliff top base with pools, a spa and a restaurant, and who value a 24 hour front desk and concierge. It also suits families, with a children's pool. It does not suit anyone expecting a quiet, isolated retreat: the property sits in a tourism hub and the town centre is 2.6 km from the centre of Varkala. Papanasam beach below the cliff is a pilgrimage site as well as a swimming beach, so dress accordingly.
When to plan a stay
The main season runs from November to March, when the weather is driest. Outside those months, cliff erosion work closes stretches of the path in the wet months, which can affect access along the cliff. Trains from Thiruvananthapuram and Kollam stop in town, so no car is needed. The altitude of the destination ranges from 0 to 45 m.
