Relax totally, independent and free, smooth like the sailing hawks over the cliff, like the restoring yoga lessons. Starting the day walking on the beach right in front of Arabian Soul and when the sun comes down hanging out in the peaceful garden. Choosing upstairs accommodation with sea view, you will awake and go to sleep with the sound of... More

I walked up north cliff looking for a place to stay, many guesthouses and hotels - I was shown many rooms - and arabian soul is not advertising very loudly - but I saw this house, the garden, the balcony and I knew I wanted to stay there. And my intuition was right. I spent some lovely days in this... More

Sweet, calm and cozy hotel located on the edge of the north cliff. There are very quiet atmosphere, pleasant staff and really caring manager Brygida. After almost 2 weeks of traveling through India, me and my friend finally found a piece of soulful hospitality there. Clean bed sheets, towels, floors and walls and you can take a shower barefoot (who... More

Charming, eco-friendly small scale guesthouse. I loved the atmosphere, the traditional Indian house and the very hospital owners. The rooms and the attention to details are amazing. Beautiful kept garden, it's al lovely oasis in India. I would love to go back there and be sure I do recommand this lovely place !

We booked after reading all the great trip advisor reviews. We were given a very warm welcome by Nahveen. Unfortunately the room did not match the photos we had seen. We had a garden view room for 1400rupees though tax is extra. For the price we expected more. The room needs updating, paint missing on the walls, some staining on... More

I love to stay at Arabian Soul as it is an traditional Indian house with a beautiful atmosphere, nice garden and terrace to chill out and very close to the cliff/beach and everything you need. Brygida and Naveen offer a wonderful service and take care of you which is especially nice when you're travelling on your own. The rooms are... More
