“Tucked away on a cliffside near Varkala Beach, the resort offers a tranquil escape with sea views. The traditional Indian spa stands out, promising unique wellness experiences often absent in similarly priced resorts. While the location is somewhat removed from the main action, I appreciate the quiet atmosphere and the thoughtful offering of cooking classes and themed dinners.”
