V Resorts Bohemian Masala Varkala is a three star property on Thiruvambadi Beach Road, on the coast by the sea in Varkala, Thiruvananthapuram district. The cliff and the Arabian Sea are the reason to come. What decides whether it suits you is the setting: it sits 3 km from the centre of Varkala, so you need to be happy to be away from the town centre.
What the property offers
V Resorts Bohemian Masala Varkala is a three star property. Its facilities are free WiFi, an outdoor pool, parking, a restaurant and a spa. For most visitors the outdoor pool and the restaurant are the practical ones: the pool gives you a place to swim without leaving the property, and the restaurant means meals are on site. The spa is there if you want treatment during your stay. Free WiFi and parking cover the basics.
It has a guest score of 4.1 out of 5 from 48 reviews. No other guest score is on file. The score gives a useful sense of how previous guests rated it, though it is a single figure and not a breakdown.
Where it sits
The property is on Thiruvambadi Beach Road, in Varkala, a town in Thiruvananthapuram district, in South Kerala. Varkala is a tourism hub, and the property is on the coast, by the sea. It stands 3 km from the centre of Varkala, which puts it outside the middle of town and close to the water.
Varkala itself 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 cliff is the only one 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
It suits travellers who want a coast base with an outdoor pool, a restaurant, a spa, free WiFi and parking, and who are content to be 3 km from the centre of Varkala. It does not suit anyone who wants to be in the middle of town, within reach of the shops and the bustle on foot.
When to plan a stay
The season runs from November to March. Cliff erosion work closes stretches of the path in the wet months, so if you plan to be on the cliff, come in the drier part of the year. Outside that window, expect parts of the path to be shut.
