Deep Dive: A Seaside Reset in Varkala Beach

While most travelers are familiar with the backwaters of Alappuzha, Varkala offers a completely different “Seaside Reset” . As a Trusted Travel Agency in Trivandrum, Travelmojo Holidays recommends Varkala for those who want a blend of high-energy coastal life and deep, meditative relaxation

The Varkala “Cliff” Experience

The defining feature of Varkala is its North Cliff. Imagine waking up in a handpicked staycation resort where your balcony overlooks the Arabian Sea crashing against red laterite cliffs

  • Pro Tip: For the best sunset views, head to the cliff-side cafes around 5:30 PM. We recommend spots that offer traditional Kerala seafood mixed with global bohemian flavors.
  • Morning Rituals: Start your day with a yoga session at one of the many schools on the cliff. Varkala is a global hub for yoga teachers and practitioners.
