Shama's lovely guesthouse was a haven for us when the whole world was going mad with Covid-19 case growing by the day, including one in Varkala. The garden is delightful and lovely oasis of calm. The breakfasts are legendary and can be varied every day. The place is a bit of a hike from the Varkala 'cliff area' (about 25 mins walk), but there are several lovely places within 5 mins that you can eat, in much much less busy surroundings and with nicer views. The local beach is only 5 mins' walk and is largely deserted and hassle-free. The staff are friendly and helpful, and I can't recommend Villa Akasa strongly enough if you want to be in Varkala, but not amongst the crowds and in an environment that is less touristy.More
