We moved here after staying at a bigger resort hotel. We loved our stay, which was made by the personal touches from the owner in the form of a sandwich for our train journey after leaving and making an effort to get to know us during our stay. The property is right on the beach and offers rooms overlooking the ocean or slightly further back. Both are stunning. This is a must stay if you're in Varkala.

Miracle by the bay is surely a miracle as its' name suggests. It is one of the best resort I have visited till now. Great staff who knew how to serve the customer. The room was well equipped and the service was excellent. From the balcony, we could view the sea and feel the cool breeze. The location of our room was absolutely perfect. As soon as you come out of the resort, we just need to cross the path and there it leads to the beach. It felt like a private beach, very clean and clear water, a very good place to relax and chill. The scenery was beautiful and it was a relieve to walk in such a quiet and peaceful environment. The view of the sunset from that point was mesmerizing. I must say the location of the resort is at best place of Varkala. Food is the most important point for everyone, and I must say you won't find such a great complimentary breakfast in any other place in Varkala. Whether it be fresh fruits, fresh fruit juices, Indian variety cuisines etc... everything was perfect. Infact they didnt even charged for our coffee or tea consumptions in a day ..
Our stay at the resort was for 3 nights and 4 days. We met the director of Miracle by the bay; Mr Sunil Sharma. He made our stay even more comfortable and enjoyable. He gave us good company and we had a great time together. All respect for them who does a great job here. Excellent hospitality.

We stayed here for 2N 3D in Jan 2020. Place is in very quiet area, no disturbance, mind-blowing sea view. Rooms were small but very clean. Staff is friendly and helpful. Currently no lunch or dinner provision but they serve breakfast between 8:30am to 12pm, but based on request they do arrange it early. Tea or coffee will be served whenever you demand.
Very happy with our stay, thanks to Mr. Sunil. Highly recommended place to stay.

Just in love with this hidden place of gem. Can't get over it. Varkala you beauty, if I want to spend rest of my life somewhere, this is it.
Being a beach lover, this property offers such mesmerizing views and the location of this property is just amazing. You never want to leave their lawn area. We stayed there at new year's eve, the hospitality, the breakfast, the views, the sunset, the beach (which is just 2 minute walk) (the best I ever visited), the host, the setting was just dreamy and magical.
This is not some luxurious, lavish property but this is more than that which offers personal, intimate space to celebrate the nature's beauty with your loved ones.
The cottages gives you feel of nature with all wooden interiors and a huge space. This place offers you warmth and love. The host (Mr. Sunil) is the best part of the property. He is the warmest person who is ready to serve you anytime.
We are thankful for the experience. Waiting to visit there soon. Most magical vibes.
Regards, Parul & Vimal

The property is located overseeing beach, away from hustle and North cliff is 15 mins walk along the shore . They server in-house breakfast however for Lunch/dinner, they rely on adjacent hotel Blue water as they don’t have in-house restaurant. We haven’t stayed here however definitely recommended from location standpoint based on details gathered.

Location is little interior u may find little difficulty while reaching the place by car or u have to park like 100 meteres. They are providing parking facility if told in advance, but once u reach the resort u will find it very beautiful and well manged, the location of resort is awesome. And small well maintained and clean beach is also there where u can relax, the host is awesome and so his employees, in my suggestions atleast two days should be spend here try to get AC cottages if available view is just awesome.

This is just a fabulous little hotel with fabulous views of the sea as you open your curtains or sit outside your room. Sunil is a fantastic and generous host where nothing is too much trouble to please his guests. The staff are very attentive but discrete and don’t over fuss. Pablo runs the breakfast service so well with his team and just a great place to have brekkie in the gardens overlooking the sea. Close enough to the hub and bubble at the Cliffs but far enough away to be peaceful. If you stay in Varkala the Miracle is a must🇮🇳😎

We stayed in Varkala for a couple of nights and couldn't recommend Miracle by the Bay enough. Sunil and the rest of the staff were so helpful and friendly, and the bedrooms were very comfortable. We arrived an early train to Varkala, way before our check in time but Sunil went out of his way to provide is breakfast and get us in to the rooms swiftly after. Sunil was also very helpful in arranging our onward train journey from Varkala and the taxi to the station, thank you very much!

I just don't have enough words to express how lucky I feel that I had made my bookings for this place back in Jan 2020. It was nothing less than a cherry on the cake. When I was making my bookings for Kerala, everyone told me that I should stay in kovalam than in Varkala however I believe the best was written in my destiny and I landed in "Miracle by the bay" for 4 beautiful days. Trust me I wish I could give a higher recommendation than just 5 star to this amazing stay. From owner to his staff, from food to the location everything is just so perfect. If I have to express my feeling for this place just in one word then it is "SERENITY". If you truly want to experience the beauty of Varkala then this is your place. I highly recommend it to each one of you, go live a little and experience the unexperienced beauty of life.

We did a lot of research for Kerala. Most popular beaches in India are often very crowded with lots of trash and not much swimming, even with warm waters. There isn't as much "Sunbathing/swimming beach culture", at least at the 6 or 7 beaches I've visited in India. So... this place is a hidden paradise. Its name, Miracle By the Bay, seems overdone, but actually.... it's really an amazing place! Small cottages and rooms with AC, a simple but freshly made breakfast, a very involved owner who watches over everything. A 3 minute walk to a swimming beach (out the gate of the hotel at the beachside on a small hill, go right and walk about 100 meters). The beach there is very quiet, super clean, and the only people we came across were others from the hotel and some fishermen another 100m past the beach. December/January time was warm waters, we swam for a long time, and the beach was CLEAN. No trash, few or no plastic bags, etc. Great option!
