Villa Gramam Varkala
Price your dates WhatsApp

South Cliff · Varkala · Kerala

Three bedrooms, one pool, no other guests.

A whole house to yourselves, built around a pool nobody else can book. Three king suites, each with its own door onto the courtyard — and the cliff, the beach and the sunset three minutes away on foot.

Published tariff from ₹21,000 a night. Booking direct is about 13% below the price on Booking.com and Airbnb.

The house

Built in the Kerala vernacular, and still lived in that way.

Patterned tile floors in jade and blue, teak four-posters, hand-painted murals and carved mirrors, under a terracotta tile roof. At the centre the pool sits in a walled courtyard, behind a tiled arch carrying the house's name in Malayalam — so the house turns inward and the street disappears.

The pool lit at night, the villa's interiors glowing behind it.

On film

Walk through it before you book.

A single unbroken take through the whole house — shot on a phone, nothing cut and nothing staged. It is rougher than the photographs above, which is the point: this is what you actually walk into.

The full tour has sound. The three short clips are silent and loop on their own.

Sleeping

Eight, properly.

Three king bedrooms take six. Each is a self-contained suite — its own en-suite bathroom, its own entrance from outside, on its own level, arranged around the pool. Two single sofa beds take the last two.

  • Bedrooms3, each with a king bed
  • Bathrooms3 — one en-suite per bedroom
  • EntrancesEach suite has its own, on its own level
  • Additional2 single sofa beds
  • Maximum8 guests in total
  • Rate includes6 adults
  • Extra adult₹2,500 per night
  • ChildrenNo extra charge

Because the suites open from outside and sit on different levels, they don't connect to one another indoors. Couples and friends travelling together tend to love that. Families with young children usually prefer to share a room — worth knowing now rather than at bedtime.
