I love to seek out and visit places "less travelled". Varkala Beach is an amazing work of nature with a cliff overlooking the beach. The view is breathtaking from the cliff, not to speak of the beautiful beach itself. And Bohemian Masala is a little gem I found a short distance from the beach. The place has a quaint rustic feel, with huts nestled amongst lush greenery. It is a pleasant feeling to wake up in this setting, especially coming from a city like Mumbai.
The resort is right on the road, which leads further down to the beach. There is a little pathway behind the resort, which takes you to the cliff.
The hut (a little cottage really) I stayed in had a spacious bedroom with a mosquito net, and functional wood furniture. The ceiling decorated with colourful fabric is a nice a touch. There is AC in the room. Bathroom was perfectly clean and adequate.
I found the calm and peace and the simplicity of the place rather charming.
And I spotted a peacock too, seems to be a resident of the place.
Breakfast had coffee, toast, eggs, fruits, juice etc. which worked perfectly for me. There was also idli/dosa as an option. For lunch and dinner, you can request traditional Indian food (dal, veggies, rice, chapati) or a typical Kerala style thali with chicken or fish.
All in all, it is a great affordable place to stay if you want to experience Varkala beach. The staff is super courteous and helpful.
