We had an exceptional stay with the wonderful Lal! Everything was fantastic. From start to finish, Lal made sure we felt at home and were cared for in the lovely Ixora.

Nothing.

"Heartwarming. A home from home - a real highlight of my time in India . Unforgettable."

10.0

It is blissfully simple and contemporary and has everything anyone could ask for. It is in a quiet road yet easy walking distance to shops, the beach and a key pilgrimage temple with its temple elephant ! And only a few minutes I. A tuctuc to the busy and vibrant tourist centre and the other beaches. Lal was always available and always always cheerful and helpful - what an amazing host. I felt like I was warmly welcomed into his home. I also enjoyed meeting the other guests and we shared dinner together. Lal helped me with my decision about where to do day trips to and booked taxis for me!

Nothing I didn’t like !

"A peaceful retreat."

10.0

Everything about Ixora was wonderful and Lal, our kind and attentive host, made our stay truly special. The rooms are spotless and spacious, the veranda is perfect for relaxing under the palm trees and the food was excellent. Lal’s thoughtful details and great advice for exploring Varkala made everything easy and enjoyable. Highly recommended!

"Fantastic homestay, superb hosts"

9.0

Although the property itself is very nice, new, clean and comfortable. The difference in experience is amplified by its superb, excellent English speaking host. The Ixora offers rooms connected but seperate from the main house where the host lives and where you have breakfast, lunch and or dinner. The shower was remarkable as well; hot & strong pressure which is not the standard in India. The location is perfect, you can walk to the stunning beaches and restaurants. The in-house prepared food was great too, lovely diverse breakfast, but equally delicious food was served for dinner on request, which is all prepared in-house. If we ever come back to Varkala, this is where we would stay. Don’t book just 2 nights like we did, stay a little longer & unwind. You’ll love it.

We didn’t like leaving
