We stayed at Blooming Bay for 3 nights in early January 2013. The setting of the hotel is very beautiful and dramatic. It is set above the red cliffs at the very southerly end of the South Cliff resort area of Varkala. The hotel has a large garden with several pergolas where one can eat breakfast, while looking out to... More

Perched on a cliff overlooking a secluded bay with gorgous warm crashing waves... Palm trees, hamocks, eagles souring above... perfect location for our yoga holiday with Tabitha (www.tabithadeanyoga.co.uk). Tabitha had done a fabulous job sourcing this location... a large yoga space... delicious breakfasts... friendly staff... from Joshi the lovely waiter to the friendly gate-man who would 'Namaste' us when we...

Blooming bay guesthouse is the only place I know in India. When I arrived there I decided to spend the whole of my holiday (one month) in this heavenly spot.

Can you live without electronic sound systems all night, skip persistant invitations to visit shops and monitor streams of tourists along North Cliff, THEN find your way to the absolutely quiet paradise of Blooming Bay either by walking along the beautiful South Cliff beach, or by riksha from Beach Rd. This guesthouse lies rather separated in a huge palm garden... More

If you do not like hammocks and coconut palms, if you do not like eagles in the sky, if you do not like dreaming, rocked by the purring of the sea, below the cliff, if you do not like having a fantastic view over kilometers of beaches, if you do not like the peace, and the authenticity, if you do...

We loved this place,and after 3 trips to Varkala over the years it's by far the best place I've stayed.The food is splendid,Indian with a Gallic flair you might say,and the welcome warm,we were treated like friends by Corrine,Maya and Aishoo the Labrador pup. The rooms are pretty luxurious for the price and spotlessly clean but the best thing is... More

I spent few days at Blooming Bay resort when they where not officially open , the property is tucked away from the main beach, beautiful view, the rooms are clean and comfortable, the manager very helpful and the food is ok, nice to walk from the beach or the cliff to the main part of town.
