Ivory Coaste

Kannur

Situated in Kannur and only 400 metres from Thottada Beach, Ivory Coaste features accommodation with garden views, free WiFi and free private parking. There is a private entrance at the guest house for the convenience of those who stay. The guest house has family rooms. It was for me the best place I was, during my traveling in South India. It was very well located. Near two beautiful beaches. Authentical, quiet and peaceful. Walking to the beach gives you the pleasure of butterflies and beautiful flowers. And the sunset was amazing. My room was also the best I had: a big room and attached a very big bathroom. It was very clean and comfortable. With stylish furniture. And a good bed! The hostel lookes wonderful, with the green around. The trees and herbs. The food was more than delicious. So subtle and various. And also authentical: the real Kerala food! And last, but not least. Aperna, the owner of the hostel was such an amazing woman. From the first moment she gave me the feeling of being welcome, being home. She is so warm, friendly and kind. So helpful and she is really interested in her guests. She gives with her warm hearted personality the stay in the hostel an extra dimension and touch. And she gives good information. And arranged a good and friendly tuctuc driver. Good information about activities, and places to go, but also you can learn a lot about Kerala and its food, herbs, traditions and people. My stay was due to Aperna so special and relaxed. Thank you!! I will try to come back to your beautiful hostel as soon as possible, with my friend and daughter. I am sure they would like it also as much as I did!

Mango Villa

Varkala Beach, Varkala

At the guest house, the units are fitted with a desk. Featuring a private bathroom with a shower and free toiletries, units at the guest house also offer free WiFi. At the guest house, all units are equipped with bed linen and towels. We loved everything! Damini is a fantastic host and a wealth of knowledge for restaurants, atms, transport etc. Our room with a balcony is a great size and nice to sit on the balcony overlooking greenery once it cools off. The cliff and beach are only a 5 min convenient walk away where you will find all the restaurants and bars. It's nice to stay at Mango Villa though where it is really quiet at night. Hot water is plentiful and we have a kettle and tea/coffee in our room to start the day. I highly recommend staying at Mango Villa, you won't regret it.

Magnolia Guesthouse Varkala

Varkala Beach, Varkala

A recently renovated guest house in Varkala and within 300 metres of Odayam Beach, Magnolia Guesthouse Varkala features pool with a view, comfortable allergy-free rooms and free WiFi. This beachfront property offers access to a patio. The guest house has family rooms and facilities for disabled guests. We stayed at this guest house as a couple with our 3-year-old and ended up extending our stay from three to six nights because it was simply amazing. The staff was incredible, very welcoming, attentive, and always going the extra mile. Despite our late arrival, they waited up for us, ensured we got food before the kitchen closed, and made us feel at home immediately. Devon, one of the staff members, even gave me a ride to the pharmacy when my child developed a rash and went out of his way to bring back ice cream for her. Location is a 2-minute walk to a quiet beach. The rooms were clean, spacious, with comfy beds and hot water. The pool was a perfect spot to relax in the afternoons. The on-site restaurant offered delicious Indian and Western dishes, with the convenience of room service. Everything was smooth and stress-free, thanks to Nijad, who helped us plan all our activities seamlessly. The hospitality here is unmatched, and the value for money is excellent. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Varkala!
