Its very clean and the staff is very friendly and helpful the owner too is a very friendly lady. Highly recommended
All is good
Everything was amazing! It was the best place we stayed in during our travel. The room was modern and spotless, breakfast is delicious, they are so welcoming, it is a place where you feel comfortable and at home at the same time. Beach is a walking distance and let me tell you that Edava beach is one of the best beaches in Varkala, it is quiet, it has black sand mixed with normal sand and you can have a nice walk and arrive to Varkala cliff or you can go to Kappil beach near the lagoon. I definetely think this is the best position you can stay in Varkala.

Stayed here for a week and had such a great experience. It’s a simple, unpretentious place; not luxury. But the care and attention from the team really make it exceptional. From having the room cooled and ready on arrival to small, thoughtful touches throughout the stay (like wiping down my scooter after rainy days), always checking in before they stepped out — everything was done quietly and considerately without ever feeling intrusive. It’s walking distance to both the beach and the cliff, but nicely tucked away from the noisy tourist crowds, which made it a much more relaxed and comfortable base. Their recommendations were consistently spot on, and they were incredibly helpful in arranging things like scooter rental, station pick-up/drop, and even a stand-up paddle session. Big shout-out to Anandhu, Jayan chettan and Kavitha chechi - really appreciate the care you put into everything! Definitely coming back again.
Place was very nice and calm and excellent facilities provided and very supportive staff

Everything was great. Rooms were clean, staff was helpful and price was reasonable, Breakfast was superb
The stay , the people in the resort , the location and the ambience and especially the breakfast (Can't afford to miss them).. Also they have an in-house surfing trainer , they help you with everything even if you are a beginner to swimming..
Las habitaciones son muy espaciosas y súper cómodas. El personal es muy amable y atento
Excellent accueil pour des personnels très serviables,attentionnés et sympathiques..chambre très propre avec toutes les commodités. Seul bémol,l hôtel est éloigné des lieux d animation de Varkala (6km)..il faut donc impérativement louer un scooter.

That I could walk to the beach and felt so well looked after by the hosts. It really was home from home and the best food I have EVER had!! Absolutely wonderful place and I’m already trying to find a way to come back.
That I had to leave
Schöne, saubere, moderne Zimmer Super Preis-Leistungsverhältnis
Personnel près à rendre service
Staff extremely helpful. Great shower and air con.. Very clean and nice food with safe filtered water. Short walk to decent quiet beach and restaurant/bar Bait and Hook. Lovely sea view and home cooked food at Sukritti ( order main meals day before) Ayurveda treatment and yoga 50 m was outstanding .
Construction nearby but not loud. Bed sheets low quality and one very small pillow. Booked as food review good but had to eat out as sadly not serving lunch or dinner Security man through night much appreciated.
De vriendelijkheid, de gastvrijheid en de schone ruime kamers. Het is rustig gelegen maar wel dichtbij bij het strand. Heerlijk ontbijt en je komt niets tekort. Hele lieve zorgzame gastvrouw en manager die je alle hulp bieden die je nodig hebt. Ik zou hier zo weer heen gaan en kan het iedereen van harte aanbevelen.
We liked everything about this property. The gorgeous new room with an amazing en suite bathroom was a highlight but the real winner here is the hospitality we received from all the staff over our stay! They were so helpful and kind and the breakfast was the best we had in India and changed every day. We couldn’t recommend this place more if you’re staying in and around Varkala. 10/10
Прекрасные условия для отдыха. Очень вкусный керальский завтрак. Номера большие, всё продумано до мелочей, очень чисто. Отличная сантехника. В пяти минутах прекрасный пляж Эдава. Даже когда мы переехали в центр Варкалы, купаться приезжали на пляж Эдава. Спасибо Амардип и команде за гостеприимство и заботу. Хочется вернуться снова. Жалеем, что не рискнули взять уроки серфинга)
Met all our needs!
The location wasn’t the best, however it was quiet.
Perfect location if you don’t want to stay in the more crowded part of Varkala. Still close to a beach and a good and friendly restaurant with outdoor tables overlooking the waves. Very good standard and friendly staff.
Amazing kind attentive staff happy to help anytime of the day. You could not ask for a better service team. Room was huge, comfortable bed and bedding, lovely shower and delicious food. Thank you for homing me. 🤗

A truly wonderful stay! The room was spotlessly clean and the hosts were incredibly warm. The highlight was the delicious breakfast, prepared with so much love and a new variety every day. There is currently some construction across the street, but we aren't deducting any points because it’s only temporary. The hosts were so thoughtful and went above and beyond to make sure we weren't disturbed. Their heartfelt hospitality and amazing home-cooked food made this a perfect stay!
Todo es muy nuevo, muy lindo y cómodo. La habitación muy linda, con sábanas, toallas impecables, el colchón nuevo. El desayuno es excelente. El servicio es también excelente! Es muy muy recomendable. La zona es muy tranquila. Hay una playita cerca, y desde ahí, caminando por un camino de acantilado, que desemboca en otra playa, se puede llegar caminando ( una hora más o menos) a la zona más concurrida de Varkala beach. Nosotros disfrutamos mucho l estadía, aún a pesar de que justo enfrente hay un hotel construcción y había un poco de ruido de la obra por la mañana.
We loved our stay at Wavealokam beach retreat. The owner and her team are super friendly and accommodating. They went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable. The rooms were extremely clean and the breakfast was also delicious. The owner also offered us to checkout late since our taxi was scheduled to arrive early afternoon. Regarding the location as well, we were super happy. The edava beach is just a 5 min walk away and is non- touristy. We enjoyed a private beach most times of the day. The ride to the north cliff is also just 10 mins away and the resort usually helps arrange a cab/tuktuk. Overall we would wholeheartedly recommend this stay and look forward to coming back again in the future :)
Posto pulito e curato. Personale attento e gentile. Consigliatissimo
The host is excellent and she personally looks after all your needs, the hospitality extended is better than any luxury hotel. Even adventure activities can be arranged by them, all in all Excellent!!
The host was absolutely amazing. He helped us in every possible way, especially with transportation, which was difficult to arrange in this area. His attitude truly improved our overall experience. The breakfasts were tasty, fresh and beautifully presented, and the property itself was pleasant and well-kept.
We didn’t expect transportation to Varkala Beach to be such a challenge. Without booking a ride in advance it was quite difficult to get there, the trip takes about 20 minutes and the fares are expensive. At the end of our stay we also had issues with payment, as card payment wasn’t available, which led to some complications with arranging an international transfer.
Super clean room, amazing breakfast, good wifi, really helpful and accomodative staff. Anandhu was super helpful - right from helping with my late night commute by auto, to helping me park my rental car everyday, to helping me book my mangrove stand-up-paddleboarding experience, Anandu was there throughout. Lekha from the kitchen was super accomodative - despite my late mornings I always had an amazing breakfast. I also loved the fact that we were given glass water bottles that we could get filled. Overall, I had an amazing stay. Would definitely recommend!
The only thing I wish I knew was that this is located in Edava, which is a 10-15 minute drive away from the Varkala North Cliff. Still quite manageable and I'd say even preferable to all the noise of the touristy parts of Varkala, but would have been good to know.
The service and hospitality was very good
Nice size clean room
Location. Although beach is a short walk away, there is Not much around the place.
The host safeer and ananthu, both gem of a host. The rooms were slightly small but cutel. There is no table to keep the suitcases. No room service but the breakfast was nice and cute. . It is a very isolated property. A nice property but should be a last option.
The location, lack of room service, lack of any activity in the vicinity.. I

Cleanliness
Memorable
Rooms are spacious and clean, and they have everything that you need. Anandhu and his team are very, very helpful, and nothing is too much trouble. We enjoyed our few days with them, and we would use them again if in the area. Highly recommend.
We stayed at Wavealokam Beach Retreat in Edava, Varkala, for 6 days and 5 nights with our family and our golden retriever, and it turned out to be one of the most memorable trips we have had. From the moment we arrived, the warmth of the hosts, Ms. Amanpreet Kaur (co-founder along with actor Mr. Sudev Nair) and their team, made us feel completely at home. Aman is a wonderful host - kind, thoughtful, and empathetic. She even went out of her way to help us by taking care of our pet for an entire day while we visited the Padmanabhaswamy Temple and Jatayu Earth Centre, which don’t allow pets. That gesture alone speaks volumes about her hospitality. The retreat is not just welcoming, but also spotlessly maintained. From fresh linens to sparkling clean washrooms, everything reflected the team’s care and attention to detail. It’s a place where you instantly feel comfortable and relaxed. Every morning began with a healthy, home-style breakfast - fresh fruits, original juices, and wholesome cooking that felt both light and satisfying. The retreat is just a short walk from the beach, has convenient car parking, and gives you the perfect balance of comfort, nature, and homeliness. What made the stay truly special wasn’t just the location or the amenities - it was the people. Aman, Sudev, their adorable pets Nero and Ishtu, and the ever-smiling guest manager Anandhu ensured we didn’t just have a stay, but an experience filled with warmth, care, and memories to cherish. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a peaceful beach retreat in Varkala—with or without pets!

Host was really hospitable n the staff too is great
The stay at wavealokam was superb. The host was very welcoming and the staff was very good. The location of the stay was very good as there is a nearby beach. The rooms were clean and breakfast was also really good. All and all a lovely place to spend your vacation.

Wavelokam is a cozy budget stay for couples with very well designed and neatly maintained rooms. Location is just 200m walk away from Yedava beach and feels secluded yet safe. Owner is chill, very friendly and a humble person who's eveready to greet and help you. A special mention to our host Saafir, who was so so helpful through out stay, not just at wavelokam but our entire trip in Varakala, a special shoutout to him.
Nothing much to dislike

We had the an amazing stay at Wavealokam. Thank you all for such a wonderful stay. Can't rate you highly enough. The room was perfect, the shower was amazing, the breakfast was delicious and the service and friendly atmosphere just delightful. We highly recommend your beautiful homestay for everyone visiting Varkala or Edava. Keep up the great work 🥰
Absolutely nothing!
It was clean and comfortable and the breakfast served at 9am. The staff are lovely and they have two lovely dogs - Stu and Nero. The bed is comfortable and the AC and fan work well.
Its location to the restaurants and cafes is a little far. However they were helpful in arranging transport and hiring a scooter - although make sure to confirm the price and fuel expectation prior as it is an external company you’re hiring from.
This beautiful property offers a peaceful retreat, tucked away from the hustle and bustle of tourist crowds. Located just 200 meters from the serene Edava Beach, it's the perfect spot for those seeking tranquillity and natural beauty. The surroundings are calm and quiet, ideal for relaxation and unwinding. What made our stay even more special was the warm hospitality. The caretaker and property owners were genuinely kind, attentive, and always ready to help, making us feel right at home. A truly memorable experience in a hidden gem by the sea

We gave them the estimated time of arrival and was given a warm welcome by the staff looking after the property, and a cool room so it wasn’t muggy or too stuffy! They asked if we’d eaten and provided us with a delivery website so that we could fill our tummies before snoozing for the evening! The bed and bathroom were clean, with comfy bedding and running hot water for a shower after travelling a good distance from Kottayam. The staff were helpful in providing kitchen utensils and allowing us to borrow an adapter, since we’d forgotten to buy ourselves a universal plug! As well as helping with public transport queries for our long trip. The guard was friendly, offering his umbrella when we arrived one of the evenings in the pouring rain. The beach was not too far from the homestay, with surrounding resorts that provided good food and decent Ayurvedic treatments. It was the perfect start to our adventure around Kerala! ✨
Despite the location being little inside, everything was well and good. A silent place where we can chill and enjoy with our beloved ones. Will surely visit again 👌🏽
The stay, the food and the staff are so good.
Nothing to specify
The rooms are very pretty - best room and bathroom we had in India. The hosts and staff are really nice. They help you with everything you need. There is a good breakfast with fruit salad, juice, curry & omlette available. The location is also quite nice. From the homestay it just takes a two minute walk to Edava Beach (not crowded and clean). It is possible to rent Scooters if you want to go to Varkala - round about 10min ride (we rented one for the whole week and needed it everyday to go out for dinner and coffee or to go to Varkala).
Clean. Responsive staff. Value for money
Staff was too talkative. He just wouldnt let us have our meals peacefully. He kept asking unnecessary personal questions.
Amazing staff, authentic Kerala Malayali local food, very clean, modern, quiet area, well designed, very close to beach, hospitable, great breakfast, scooter rental, private quarters. They kindly arranged for me to observe/take part in cooking our own lunch :):):)
That we didn't stay longer!
It's a small and new property. Rooms were of comfortable size, with neat and clean bed and bathroom. There was no view from the hotel, but a clean, crowdless beach is just a couple of minutes of walk away. I also booked a surfing lesson. Kartik (surfing trainer) was very patient in teaching and it was an amazing experience. The breakfast served was healthy, clean and tasty. Facility manager was really helpful and prompt is responses. It was an amazing experience staying here.
Perfect stay with kinde staff
Everything about the place was beyond perfect. The location, the rooms, the staff. Especially the staff and the owners, beautiful and soulful people. It’s very peaceful and Serene.
Absolutely nothing.
Top notch.
Hospitality at this place is awesome. They made sure we had a comfortable stay and even had the breakfast ready for us earlier than the regular time as we were checking out early. The beach is only a few minutes walk from the property.
The path to the beach from the property could be better.
Great friendly staff,awsome hospitality,very close to the beach,quiet area,clean,warm and cozy
We had to ask for making up the room. Breakfast was a little late.
neat and clean rooms.
approach road was too narrow, not too much parking space.no arrangement for drivers, and the worst part they provided me with two separate rooms though they had adjacent room vacant.breakfast options were limited. no view from the room.
Great stay …top notch. Very clean modern with excellent fast WiFi. Attentive friendly staff and lovely owner. Thank you particularly to Ananbdhu the front of house manager. Great job!!

Very very nice place! Quiet , clean and confortable . The ménagers are very helpful and the surfing courses organised really good. There’s a little quiet beach just 5 min walking from the hotel.
The rooms were good and host was amazing. He helped us to share few contacts for water sports and we got discount as well.
Breakfast can be improved by having more options
Location, friendly staff, tasty and fresh breakfast, and beach within walking distance. Property and rooms were very clean and well kept. They also helped us with arranging a two wheeler to go around.
I had a very pleasant stay. The staff is wonderful.
It's not really Varkala. It's Edava.
