Hindustan Beach Retreat  

On Kerala’s sun-soaked coast in Varkala, this seaside beach hotel sits steps from Varkala Beach and minutes from Janardanaswamy Temple, with Kappil Beach close by. It’s about 55 km north of Thiruvananthapuram and a short drive from Varkala train station, putting beaches, temples and cliffside cafés within easy reach.

Twenty-seven sea-facing rooms offer refrigerators, minibars and private bathrooms, with executive rooms and suites featuring balconies (suites add a separate living area). Rooms have cable TV, safes, desks and air conditioning, and many guest areas have complimentary Wi‑Fi. Expect a relaxed seaside vibe, a rooftop coffee spot, a small library and a spa named Turtle Bay for quiet treatments.

Swim in indoor and outdoor pools, soak in a jacuzzi or hot tub, and let kids splash in the kid’s pool. There’s a full spa with massages and body treatments, a fitness center, sauna, travel desk and a souvenir shop. On-site perks include free self-parking, laundry/dry cleaning, concierge services and a doctor on call—wake up to sea-breeze mornings and easy beach access.

A 24-hour business center, conference and meeting rooms (including a 100-seat hall) cater to events and corporate stays. Express check-in/check-out and complimentary high-speed wireless internet make work straightforward.

Two restaurants, a poolside eatery (Nothin' Doing), a rooftop coffee shop (Wait'n Watch) and a bar (Slow Motion) serve meals, snacks and cocktails, with 24-hour room service available. Menus highlight local Kerala flavors alongside international options for a true taste of the coast.
