Provider-sourced guest reviews.
Had a lovely stay at Villa Jacaranda. It’s a beautiful, peaceful place tucked away from the busier parts of Varkala, with a really relaxed atmosphere and plenty of greenery around. I especially enjoyed waking up to the sounds of nature and spending time in the garden. Ajay the host and the rest of staff were kind and welcoming and made me feel at home from the moment I arrived. The room was comfortable, clean, and had everything I needed. A perfect place to slow down, rest, and enjoy Varkala at a gentler pace. Thank you for a wonderful stay — I hope to be back again one day.
Our 11 nights stay in Villa Jacaranda and hosted by Ajay, and his excellent team was an amazing experience. From the beautifully designed rooms and very comfortable accommodation to the sumptuous breakfast served each morning, everything was just perfect. It was a total joy and delight to spend some wonderful time here. The staff are so helpful and friendly. Ajay even helped us with the extension of our visas created by the recent hostilities. We highly recommend a stay at Villa Jacaranda. It is a totally amazing experience, and one we'll enjoy again soon. Thank you😊😊🙏🙏🙏
Leaving at the end of our stay 😪
A beautiful place with a delightful garden and pool. A peaceful haven to stay amidst the hubbub of Varkala. Delicious breakfast and a really lovely team.
the location was great. Everything was in walking distance. Small and unique stay with a great breakfast and a fantastic terrace.
Villa Jacaranda was truly an incredible place. We stayed for four days on our honeymoon and had the best time. It is very comfortable and peaceful and well-curated. One might say the location is perfect. Our room was wonderful. The food and the service were top-notch. Abundant fresh fruit, homemade bread, and hot coffee + tea delivered to our room every morning for breakfast on the patio overlooking the ocean. Our hosts were so generous and helpful. Our stay happily coincided with the local temple festival, which was amazing, and we will never forget waking up at 5am to an awesome procession of animatronic gods, very loud + cool music, and elephants going right by our room (besides that, it was very quiet and peaceful!)
Beautiful house, immaculate and thoughtful decor, small plunge pool to cool off, plants everywhere, views of the sea
Nothing
The rooms, grounds, the gardens, the pool, the staff, the host and the hosts animals were all wonderful. One of the best beach towns I've ever had the pleasure to visit. Ajay connected us drivers and merchants to help us with anything we needed. We didn't want to leave. I've stayed in villa's with similar setups in Jamaica, Key West and Costa Rica but Villa Jacaranda truly special.
The Wifi could be improved, they use extenders each making their own network and if you are moving around a lot from room to room, you have to switch networks to get the best signal. If you are staying in one room it's not a problem but we were a group staying in 3 different rooms so we moved around a lot making us switch networks everytime we moved.
Wygodne pokoje z tarasami. Położenie.
Belle ancienne maison dans un écrin de verdure, mention a la salade de fruits du petit dejeuner
Je trouve le prix trop élevé par rapport à la prestation, l'endroit est sympa, mais j'ai eu d'autres sejours dans le Kerala d'une niveau superieur et d'une coût moindre Il manque un espace interieur à partager, le salon n'étant pas accessible
Magnifique piscine Cadre très reposant. Petit déjeuner copieux et très bon.
There are not enough adjectives in language to describe our love and admiration for this Homestay, its owner and team. Ajay and his team ensure nothing is missed. The amazing curated breakfast, inquisitive questions to understand you and excursions or experiences you may enjoy go above and beyond anything we would ever expect. The Artwork, linens, layout—— incredible. Nothing is missed. I fell head over heels for Ajay and his team. He makes you feel like a best friend who just walked into his home and wanted to make sure your experience was outstanding. I felt as though I’ve known him for decades. He and his team also organized transport for us, offered suggestions on where to get massage, have dinner, what beach to walk, etc. When a transfer was late to take us to the airport at 3am, Ajay kindly got out of bed, called the person and waited with us to make sure we made our flight. I’ll never forget Villa Jacaranda or the team that made our experience so incredible. I can only hope we will return and soon!
Loved everything about this Villa from location , decor , pool, breakfast on our balcony , beautifully landscaped gardens but above all the kindness and attentiveness of our host Ajay and all his staff there . It very much felt like we were invited into Ajay’s home. Amazing massages offered a few doors down with discount too !
The location. Next to a wonderful Ayurvedic spa and drop in yoga class. Located on the quieter south end of Varkala. Easy 5 minute walk access to the beach. Beach chairs and umbrellas for rent at the end of the north beach. Tuktuks available across from the property. 150 ir to go anywhere in town. The food. Wonderful homemade brown bread and jam, beautiful fresh fruit salad, perfectly poached eggs. The people. Ajay the owner was very personable and engaging. Sami served a great breakfast and arranged laundry for me. The guests were wonderful to chat with as well.
Having to leave.
Tutto molto curato e molto pulito. Sunny che gestisce la struttura e’ top.
Niente, forse un po’ rumorosa perché stanno costruendo un albergo vicino.
I had the chance to spend 10 days at Villa Jacaranda with my mother, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. From the very first moment, we were welcomed with such warmth and kindness. Ajay and his entire team are exceptional hosts: attentive, caring, always available, and genuinely dedicated to making every moment special. The villa itself is a true haven of peace, perfectly designed for rest and inner balance. Every detail is thoughtfully taken care of, the atmosphere radiates serenity, and you immediately feel a positive and calming energy. The setting is simply stunning, ideal for relaxation and well-being. We are leaving with precious memories and deep gratitude. I wholeheartedly recommend Villa Jacaranda to anyone looking for an extraordinary stay where comfort, authenticity, and hospitality come together in the most wonderful Indian way. A heartfelt thank you to Ajay and his team for this exceptional stay. We will definitely be back!!!
The view from our room was unbeatable, and the entire property was very tastefully decorated. We also very much enjoyed the garden on the terrace and the swimming pool. Breakfast was good, but it was limited to a continental spread of fresh fruits, fresh-baked bread, and eggs made a few different ways. This place has European tastes dialed in in every detail. The on-site manager, Sunny, was friendly and efficient. The Ayurvedic health spas on the same street are amazing, and we used the one next door.
There seemed to be very little wiggle room other than continental breakfast options, but as mentioned above, it was fine for a day. Our room's a/c unit was not functioning properly and affected our sleep, but at some point, we ended up opening the door for some air, braving mosquitoes, which thankfully was not an issue during our visit.
Beautiful pool and well tended gardens, friendly people, good breakfast.
Communal balcony Very steep road to beach 10-15 mins away. Noisy construction work next door
The villa is so elegant and the garden is completely stunning. We adored the pool—it’s like a little paradise and photos simply do not do it justice! Our breakfasts were outstanding and we felt so lucky to sit and enjoy them on a beautiful balcony overlooking the gorgeous garden. Cat, dog, and duck hosts were very cute.
We didn’t exactly dislike anything, but our welcome was a bit distant, though perfectly polite. Some travellers prefer that approach, so we don’t think it’s a negative in general (all of our needs were swiftly and courteously met, and the breakfast was exceptionally good!), but our favourite thing about the other places we stayed in Kerala was the warm welcome, with friendly chat and detailed local recommendations.
If you want tranquille beautiful welcoming place with heaven sent breakfast please give it a try we came during monsoon season and still enjoyed the pool the decor is simply Amazon with a strong europeen flair and comfort even y single touch feom the homemade fresh bread in morning to the soap in bathroom and linens gorgeous pool and garden we were so happy to visit

Μείναμε 3 βράδια και ήταν όλα υπέροχα. Σε ήσυχη γειτονιά, 5 λεπτά περπάτημα από την παραλία. Το προσωπικό είναι ευγενικό και ο Ajay, που είναι τέλειος οικοδεσπότης, μας έδωσε αρκετές συμβουλές τι να κάνουμε στην περιοχη. Μας βοήθησε και κάναμε μια εκδρομή στο Munroe Island. Σας ευχαριστούμε για όλα.
Understand luxury with a very relaxed vibe. The host, Ajay and his crew were extremely warm and welcoming and were completely focused on ensuring their guests had a wonderful experience. We stayed in the top floor room which had a massive balcony with excellent sea views. The Villa is also located in a quiet lane on the South Cliff, away from the more crowded and commercial North Cliff. The historic Janardhanaswamy Temple is also just a short walk down the road and the beach, under a 7-8 minute stroll!
I liked pretty much everything. Of course, if you are expecting a large screen TV in your bedroom you will be disappointed, but then again this property caters to a different crowd that is looking for peace, quiet and understated ambience.
What a beautiful oasis in Varkala. We loved it and we will return to this Villa for sure. Hope to see you guys soon 😀
The private verandah and having breakfast served was wonderful. So relaxing and restorative. The room was very clean and comfortable and the decorative touches were lovely. I am planning to retire soon and know I could be content spending a lot of that time at Villa Jacaranda.
Sadly, despite the ideal setting within the lush garden, the pool did not look at all inviting even on a hot afternoon.
We couldn’t have ended our five week trip to India any better. Villa Jacaranda, Ajaj and the team made sure we had the perfect stay. The house is beautiful, The breakfast delicious and the pool was fantastic. The best place we stayed in during our trip.
I could not recommend villa jacarandra more highly. It is a beautiful villa with all that you could ask for and situated very conveniently as well, just across the road from soul and surf so you can go surfing with them in the mornings. Ajay and his team are absolutely fantastic with excellent communication and always smiling. Would recommend to anyone and I’ll definitely be coming back at some point.
Everything including the pets and garden
All's good
The decor of the rooms. The veranda and garden. Great attention to detail. Exceptional evening meal available on request.
Hard to find anything to dislike.
We had a lovely 4 night stay at Villa Jacaranda, the villa is on the south side of Varkala so away from the hustle and bustle of north cliff. We really enjoyed using the pool to cool off in after a day of exploring, Ajay recommended a few good spots to eat and we also had food at the Vila one night which was excellent and we would really recommend this! The villa is really nicely decorated, and is a lovely calm spot to spend a few days relaxing! Ajay and the team were really lovely and made us feel very welcome!
Beautiful rooms decorated with style Loved the saltwater pool Great breakfasts on balcony Very good Ayurvedic massage next door Enjoyed fish baked in banana leaves on the beach
Nothing
Loved to whole feel of the place. So much thought has been put into the homestay by Ajay and nothing is too much trouble for him and his lovely staff. And the garden is quite beautiful. The breakfast on our balcony was perfect with the most delicious fruit and home-made bread. Even the coffee was a joy after the remarkably lacklustre coffee we have drunk on our travels in Kerala!
The only let down over which Ajay has no control was the hotel construction going on next door. Hopefully it will all be finished soon and then peace and tranquillity will return to Villa Jacaranda!
Beautiful gardens/veranda 🌴 Comfortable room Delicious food 😋 Wonderful staff - Ajay and his team were fantastic!
Nothing
Convenient location in the middle of Varkala but noisy at times. View from veranda outstanding (where we ate all our meals which were very good). All the staff were very helpful around the house, when arranging a tuk-tuk, choosing restaurants etc. Overall a very pleasant experience.
Only real complaint was the pre-payment of the room deposit which took weeks to verify. An alternative method of payment would be helpful.
We loved our stay at Villa Jacaranda. Ajay is a superb host, extremely friendly and knowledgeable. The food was fantastic.
There was nothing we did not like.
Villa Jacaranda is a small well appointed home stay. Room 4 had a magnificent, attractive terrace with lovely views. The rooms are tastefully appointed and spacious. Ajay and his team are so friendly and welcoming and keen to help whenever they can and make our stay great. The breakfast served on our terrace was fresh and delicious, including excellent homemade bread. I would thoroughly recommend Villa Jacaranda and particularly room 4 at the top of the property.
There was nothing I didn’t like about Villa Jacaranda.
The villa is conveniently located just a few minutes walking from Varkala beach. Ajay did a fantastic job in furnishing and decorating the house. Every element seems to have been carefully chosen ! They provide continental or keralese breakfast on request. I highly recommend this place. 👌
Everything was great.
Villa Jacaranda is a little oasis of calm and beauty where we had a warm welcome. Ajay and his team are helpful but unobtrusive. There is a keen eye for detail like the lush and beautiful gardens surrounding the pool. Our stay felt relaxed and tranquil. Do try the home cooked dinners offered as an extra; you will not be disappointed. Restaurant critics, eat your heart out!
The mattresses were a bit lumpy
We loved everything! Our room was beautifully furnished (the textiles are enviable) and the private balcony overlooking the lush garden, and with sea view, was great. Breakfasts out on the balcony were delicious, especially the fruit bowl and bhurji eggs, and the couple of dinners we had were really outstanding. The beach is about a 5 min walk, and we enjoyed visiting the nearby temple too. The owner Ajay is charming, and interesting to chat to, as well as being a brilliant cook. He made some helpful suggestions about things we might like to do, and which we enjoyed, and he really made us feel at home. The staff are also lovely. The garden pool is another highlight, and the sweet spaniel Romy, and the resident duck add to the immense charm of Villa Jacaranda. We really didn’t want to leave, and certainly hope to return. Thank you Ajay and staff for a wonderful few days!
Nothing at all
Beautiful house in a lovely location. Very comfortable and all of the staff were very welcoming and friendly. Great breakfasts too
What a wonderful and special place to stay in Varkala. Superbly located on south cliff, Villa Jacaranda is an oasis of serenity and style with every design detail thoughtfully curated. The room, the terrace and the garden are beautiful. Breakfast served on our private terrace was healthy and delicious. You must have dinner whilst here - the vegetarian banquet is a feast of many dishes, at the standard of a tasting menu at the best restaurant! What a treat.
Nothing.
Everything at Villa Jacaranda exudes attention to detail. From the decor, to the garden, the breakfast service, the room furnishings. One example, never before had I a fruit bowl in which I could count 12 varieties. Ajay is a wonderful host, and my thanks to all of his excellent staff.
Some noise from construction next door. Though this understandably can't be helped
The calm of the place, the elegance of the decoration, the kindness of the owner and his staff, the breakfast and dinner on our private balcony...
Ajay the host was incredibly kind and informative- we had some great chats. The garden is exquisite and full of tropical flowers and birds. Our room was lovely - beautifully furnished with a great balcony overlooking the garden and the sea beyond. Breakfasts were delicious and nothing was too much trouble for the staff - I particularly liked the fruit salad at breakfast and the banana milkshakes. All round great vibes! The location on the South Cliff is the best - much quieter and nicer than the north. The villa is opposite a great yoga centre - Suft and Soul, and just above a lovely quiet beach for morning and sunset swims. A perfect place for an introduction to Keralan life. We’d go back in a heartbeat!
Nothing - all perfect
The staff, the owner, the beautiful lush garden and food. Villa Jacaranda is like an oasis just past the busy Varkala cliff. I couldn’t have been happier with my stay. I met some likeminded guests and it felt like a home away from home. Ajay has created a beautiful place, every detail of the house tells a story. He also has some lovely pets and most days I just wanted to relax on my terrace and enjoy the view. The room and bathroom was super clean and bedsheets and towels changed regularly. I was so happy here I decided to rebook again for next year only days after departing. A true to gem and if you manage to find an available date to book don’t hesitate as it may be too late since it is in high demand (and now I know why!).
We had the most memorable stay at Villa Jakaranda, and although we stayed a full week, we could happily have stayed longer. Everything - from the lovely room, our delicious breakfasts on the balcony, swimming in the pool late afternoon, chatting with Ajay, watching the extraordinary flash of blue as the kingfisher passed through - was a delight and we loved every minute. Thank you, Ajay, and your wonderful staff - Sunny, Ramash and the ladies. You’ve created something very special which feels genuinely happy and peaceful. We certainly hope to return in the not too distant future.
Nothing: it was wonderful.
We had a fantastic stay at Villa Jacaranda, the room, the pool, the breakfast, the interior design, we have enjoyed it all. The location in South Cliff is also great, just a short walk from the beach. Ajay and the staff were very friendly and accommodating. We’d definitely recommend staying here.
The property was perfect, quiet location, sea view from our room and only 4 rooms. The breakfasts and dinners were outstanding and housekeeping was superb.
Nothing, it was perfect.
Ajay, our host was so nice. We enjoyed chatting to him. The villa was well designed and we enjoyed having our own private balcony where we took breakfast. We had dinner in on the second evening and the food was delicious. He recommended a restaurant on the first evening which was well chosen. There’s a small pool in the courtyard which was wonderful to cool down in . He also has a little black spaniel, a cat and a duck, who , of course added to the atmosphere. The staff were absolutely sweet and respectful.
I can’t think of anything.
Fantastic
Beautifully decorated, fantastic balcony with candles and books, super clean, daily housekeeping, crisp clean bedding, great fridge , constantly good hot water and excellent wifi. Beautiful finishing touches. Breakfast is excellent with fresh fruit and cooked eggs of your choice, also delivered to your balcony. Great same day laundry service. Pool is in a lovely garden. Great Tibet restaurant is a 2 minute walk away.
Nothing . It was exceptional accommodation. The owner was very professional. Drawback was a staff member very keen on tips but the owner was very proactive in addressing this. The best accommodation we have stayed in after 6 weeks travelling India. Honestly , this villa is lovely!
You fill like home
Beautiful home on the South Cliff part of Varkala, just minutes from the beach. Ajay is a consummate host, and has created a truly beautiful environment: staff, decor, breakfasts (and other meals). There are not too many hotels that we would definitely want to return to, but this is certainly one of them. Ajay was happy to chat, and was a great conversationalist, talking and listening in equal measure. HIs recommendations (tailors, restaurants, barbers) were all spot on!
Nothing to say here
Loved everything about staying at Jacaranda Villa! Ajay and his family of staff went out of their way to make our stay as enjoyable and comfortable as possible. The breakfasts are delicious and the fruit sslad is definitely the best in the world! Wonderful and relaxing! Loved the lush and serene garden and the swims in Ajays' beautiful pool. The Villa is curated beautifully with art, furniture, and soft furnishings. Loved the stunning Dohas, Kanthas,and block printed fabric. Also, the gorgeous flower arrangements!! Just loved everything, actually!!
Nothing!
We absolutely loved our week-long stay here! Ajay and his team were absolutely amazing and went above and beyond to make our stay really special. The room was great and we loved the swimming pool. The breakfast was fantastic and we also had dinner here one evening and it was some of the best food we had in Kerala. The location is perfect - really close to the beach and various restaurants. We would strongly recommend staying here and would love to come back again!
Exceptionally beautiful and cozy stay with a great host. The decor is inspiring!
Nothing :)
We had a wonderful stay. Such a beautiful house with lovely staff. Would recommend to anyone.
My fiancé and I loved our stay at Villa Jacaranda. Owner Ajay is clearly very talented and passionate about what he does, and is a pleasure to chat to. He has created a beautiful villa and, with the help of his team, provides such a memorable experience for his guests. Villa: The property itself is beautifully appointed and well laid-out to offer privacy to guests, and the new salt water pool offers a refreshing escape from the heat of the day. Our spacious room had double French doors leading out onto a lovely terrace overlooking the sea. We spent hours up there, relaxing with a book or observing the local wildlife. Food: Ajay's delicious breakfasts were one of the highlights of our trip, especially his famous fruit bowl! We also enjoyed a delicious home-cooked feast prepared by Ajay one of the nights. On our other evenings, we visited Chimney restaurant following a recommendation from Ajay, and we're served up some of the best fish dishes we had during our time in India! Location: The location of the villa is also great, with only a short 5 min walk down to the beach. We enjoyed being on the south cliff as we found it to be much more secluded and peaceful, especially if you head even further south along the beach. The sunsets, whether observed from the villa's terrace or the beach, were amazing. We'd also recommend enjoying one of the sunsets from Cafe Sarwaa, which is only a 5-10 min walk from the villa. A huge thanks to Ajay, his team and his friendly resident pets (especially Romy) for making our stay so memorable!
Nothing
With his special attention to each single detail ,Ajay ,the owner made a little paradise in Villa Jacaranda.Lovely terrace with seaview where you can have the breakfast and a great vegetarian dinner cooked by Ajay.Few minutes walking to the beach.They can also arrange a motobike for you to explore the area by yourself.Thank you Sunny and Ramesh for taking good care of me!j
Wonderful owner and friendly/helpful staff. It's a very peaceful space with garden and pool. We enjoyed sitting on the veranda and eating the breakfast served in the mornings. Great location near south cliff of Varkala Beach which is more quiet than the north cliff. 10/10 would recommend.
Nothing
The staff and the owner and all of them very friendly and accomodating. Felt home
Food options can be more in Breakfast
The most beautiful garden with flowers, a view over the sea. Able to have breakfast on our private veranda
At no fault of Villa Jacaranda, their was building work going on during our stay from very early in the morning till after dark.
Great location and friendly team
Location, decor, cleanliness and the character
I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Villa Jacaranda. From the delicious breakfast every morning, to the service of the staff, the pool, the location, and Ajay's recommendations. The small touches of fresh flowers and daily room cleans were lovely.
There is nothing that I did not like.
The place was super serene and beautiful. It was beautifully decorated and had the best view. The staff made delicious homemade food and were very helpful in guiding us.
Nothing.
Ajay and his staff were amazing and we had the best time there. The bedroom and house and garden were beautifully decorated and maintained and the breakfast was delicious. The shops and beach are only a few minutes walk away. Would definitely return.
There was not anything to dislike about the property or our stay.
We had an excellent stay. It is a very comfortable and peaceful location. A walk away from south cliff beach and easy to reach north cliff beach and the restaurants there too. The bed was comfortable, lots of nice touches like fresh flowers in the room, an excellent breakfast served on your own veranda and it was beautifully presented too. The host and staff are very attentive and we were well looked after. Would go back anytime.
Nothing to dislike
Spacious, beautifully decorated. A sumptuous breakfast overlooking coconut trees, beach. This place is absolutely serene

From the moment you walk into Villa Jacaranda, your breath is taken away by the beauty of this home. Owner Ajay, our loving and beautiful host has created a magical space. Lush tropical gardens and greenery abound. Around each corner you will discover more joy and love, personally curated by Ajay with his lifelong collections of art and furniture. Our room on the top floor included a private terrace where you can sit overlooking the sun slipping into The Arabian Sea. We were treated to quite possibly the best Kerelan style meal we have ever had in the most romantic setting imaginable. The scene set with candlelight would be at home in a movie of the long ago Raj. Breakfast each morning presented with full tea service in gorgeous china and was magnificent. The staff were amazing and looked after our every desire. Villa Jacaranda is truly a special place and no visit to the area is complete without spending time here at the jewel in Varkarla’s crown.
Absolutely gorgeous! It was such a treat to stay here and everything about the place was so well thought out.
Lovely guest house overlooking the Arabian Sea- a real oasis. I stayed in Room 4 which has the whole of the top floor to itself and a lovely private, plant-filled roof terrace. Was there in the low season which I would not recommend as a lot of places were closed and work was being undertaken in the garden of the guest house, no evening meals, etc. Not ideal but didn’t take away from the charm of the place.
The cliff side bars and restaurants all felt a little worn out and the food was not great in any of the places I visited (I think it’s a surfer’s resort so perhaps not a priority to the target market)
Beautiful property, attentive and caring staff, facilities were comfortable and the owner Ajay has curated a fabulous stay. Me and my girlfriend felt very comfortable immediately and loved our stay.
N/A
Gorgeous location and surroundings, beautiful fruit and flowering trees with hummingbirds and other wildlife around. Breakfast was amazing with fresh fruit salad and choice of eggs etc. Staff were very helpful, friendly and accommodating.
Can't control the traffic, cars beep coming around corners for safety.
The whole experience was really good. The owner and the staff was very friendly. We had a quite nice time in the villa. It was so very well maintained. Loved the ambience and the garden. The bread was so good. . But i think it is okay... overall the stay was really really good.
Breakfast i would say was okayish. Nothing to complaint but on day 2 it will get a bit boring.
This is a quite amazing place. Located on the south cliff, it is quiet, but still close enough to restaurants and beach. The gardens and grounds are beautiful, and the rooms are comfortable. Breakfast is exceptional. Most significantly, Ajay, the owner, is extremely helpful and hospitable.
If I could transport the room and veranda back to my home in the UK I would; we stayed here for just 2 nights but wish it could have been many more. Everything is superb and our hosts were just incredible. Hospitality comes very naturally to Ajay and his team. Very happy guests, very sad to leave.
Nothing - everything was perfect.
The only thing I can think about this place is why I didn’t stay longer! Ajay has built this beautiful house, 22 years ago, immersed in colors, patterns and lots of flowers. The place is very quiet and special, perfect to wind down your mind. The breakfast is the best I’ve had in India so far, I’ll be dreaming about that bowl of fruits for a very long time. The staff serving the breakfast was so kind and smiled so much that your morning would get immediately better. The location is perfect, far enough from the buzz of the North Cliff, and less than 5 minutes on foot from the beach.
Nothing, everything has been perfect!
Beautifully farmhouse with outdoor communal dining area- and direct access to the water
Slightly remote- having a car readily available would be a plus for anyone staying here. On the other hand- you could just stay put for a restorative break!
Such a lovely little guesthouse with a beautiful garden. Breakfast is delicious and served on your own private terrace and the staff are wonderful. The place is opposite Soul & Surf where you can do rooftop yoga and have easy access to the beach. Can highly recommend staying here!
Lovely little guesthouse in great location. Really great staff and owner.Amazing garden with duckpond!
Quite hard beds
Such a beautiful relaxing place with super helpful people. A perfect combination of a quiet spot on South Cliff but walking distance to the beach and North Cliff.
All the staff and the owner Ajay were extremely friendly and helpful. I had a bad knee injury and wasn’t able to move a lot for several days. My daughter and I did an Ayurveda treatment in the clinic next door. Ajay cooked for us extremely fresh and delicious meals according to our Ayurveda treatment plan. Real highlights of our days! You receive a 20% discount if you’re staying at Villa Jacaranda at the clinic. The wonderful garden is also a pearl of nature , every morning we were greeted by wonderful birds including a parrot and a peacock taking their breakfast! All in all Villa Jacaranda is highly recommended and an oasis amidst the heat and enough away from the touristy busy North Cliff. With my injury I wouldn’t have wanted to stay anywhere else!
