We are a family of four, two adult sand two children 9 and 7. We all loved it here. Big rooms, lovely garden with amazing birds, less than five minutes from a nice quiet beach, lovely host and a safe environment for all.

I've stayed here few times over the last 3 years. It is a great place to stay in Varkala, it is away from all the craziness of the cliff, it's right near Odayam beach.I prefers to stay in one of the cottages which is wonderful and the owner Lily is wonderful to sit and talk with.. Highly recommended.

A little north of the busy bit of Varkala, Magnolia is wonderfully placed with a nice view of the sea from the villas nearest the front of the plot. Its a very short walk to some nice quiet beaches and a smattering of other resorts and restaurants. The villas are nicely turned out, clean and comfortable. All have a little... More
