Magnolia Guesthouse Varkala, hotel in Varkala

Enjoying wonderful views of the Indian Ocean, Magnolia Guesthouse Varkala is just a 3-minute walk from Odayam Beach. Ayurvedic massage treatments and yoga sessions on the beach are also provided.

Vacationed with children (11 and 13 years old) in the guest house Magnolia in early September 2024. We were looking for a house with connected rooms a little away from the noisy tourist spots. They are all within walking distance, but we did not want to live among restaurants and stores - we were looking for a quiet place almost on the beach. We doubted whether our daughter and son would be able to swim in the ocean, so we were looking for a hotel with a pool. Happy we found this place. The guesthouse is like a tropical garden, very well maintained, lots of beautiful plants. The houses look like Sardinia and Santorini: white walls, blue doors and shutters on the windows, magnolias.... Very clean, cozy, delicious food. With air conditioning and fan it's not hot at all even if it's +32 outside. The staff is very friendly, thank you very much Nijad for his help during our stay: organized transfers, excursions and even recommended a barber when my son wanted to refresh his haircut. The whole team is excellent, always ready to help. We will definitely come back again, it is warm and welcoming. We will recommend this place to our friends.

We arrived at Damini‘s Mango Villa and loved it straight away. The place is very charming and cozy and we especially loved the small details that give you that feeling of home. Damini‘s beautiful character and warmth add to the charm. Definitely would come to Varkala to stay with her again!
