Villa Akasa - Room 'Jal'

Tucked away in a little village in Varkala, Villa Ākāśa is a quiet guesthouse, surrounded by nature and a few minutes walk from a beautiful, untouched beach. We have a great team to make your stay comfortable; one of them is Yakko - our lovely dog who is friendly and loved by all who come stay with us. 'Jal' is a cottage on the ground floor with a private veranda and an open-air bathroom. • Private verandas to lay back and relax • All rooms with en suite bathrooms (ground floor rooms with shower area open to the sky) • Verandas of the ground floor rooms face opposite directions to maintain privacy • Breakfast included • Homely Indian lunch and dinner can be arranged if requested in the morning • Free wi-fi • Air conditioners in the room • Taxi to and from the Trivandrum airport can be arranged at an additional charge Surrounding area: Villa Akasa is in the heart of a village that is still barely touched by tourist development. We invite you to sit out on your private balcony and listen to the unique sounds of village life: the whisper of the coconut trees, the chirping of crickets during the night, the sounds of worship during the day. A short walk down the hill will lead you to the beach. This part of Kerala is geographically unique as it is the only place in Kerala where cliffs touch the Arabian Sea. The aqua green water contrasts with the bright red of the cliffs making this the perfect place to swim and to watch the sun set. The North cliff or main tourist area is a twenty minute walk or short bicycle ride away. Here you will find some beautiful restaurants perched along the cliff edge and small shops selling curios and beach clothes. Auto-richshaws can easily be arranged for you. Other attractions of Kerala - elephant rides, house boat trips along the backwaters, ayurvedic massages and treatments - are easily arranged. I live on the property and guests are welcome to approach me for any help or recommendations they need. Taxis can be arranged to pick you up from and drop you to the airport. For getting around, we have a couple of cycles that guests can use. And auto-rickshaws can easily be arranged at a short notice.
