Villa Jacaranda is in a great location. The shops and restaurants of North Cliff are a short walk away. The less crowded neighborhoods and beaches of South Cliff are right there. You wake up to an amazing breakfast and garden everyday, and Ajay and staff are always friendly, approachable, and accommodating. An ayurvedic treatment center and the temple are neighbors.... More

All the other reviews are accurate, including the lonely planets description as being the ultimate in "understated luxury." We had a great two days with Ajay and his soft spoken, gracious staff. The masala chai and breakfast were wonderfully prepared and having the meal on a balcony surrounded by flowers and overlooking the ocean was a magical moment for our... More

We were in Kerala in March 2013 and had the pleasure to stay in Villa Jacaranda. Before booking of course did a bit of inspection and when we arrived I was like WOW. Stayed 3 night in Room1 which had a veranda with garden view. Room very clean, good and nice shower and toilet. My wife liked of course the... More

I was lucky enough to stay in this beautiful boutique guesthouse with my boyfriend in November last year at the beginning of a 3 week holiday in kerala. Looking back, villa jacaranda was definitely my favourite, of all the lovely places that we stayed in. Everything about it whispers class and elegance. The owner Ajay and his team are warm,... More

My partner and I started our week-long Keralan holiday here. It was perfect. The breakfast is wonderful, the staff attentive, friendly and extremely polite (Pramod was amazing!). The restaurants recommended to us were fantastic and the houseboat stay that owner Ajay organised for us was excellent. I can't recommend Villa Jacaranda enough! The highlight of all three of our days... More

In the guide book i used it said expansive view of sea however you couldnt see the sea when you were sitting down which i found disappointing. The owner and staff service and care of... More

We had no booking but there was the ground floor room available. Tastefully furnished, good sized room with a verandah onto the garden. The delicious breakfast was beautifully served by Pramod, the manager who is the perfect host. He also recommended an excellent restaurant on the beach for dinner. There are mosquitos here but Pramod will put up a net... More

beautiful location, beautiful house with all lovely guest rooms but what makes it best is its commendable service which is better than any resort infinite starer.... the photos posted are not a myth here. The breakfast is served with the exact heart n soul as shown in pictures. They even provide you with all necessary information about varkala mentioning shopping... More

Stayed 3 nights and wished we were staying longer. This 4 bed guest house situated in a peaceful location within a short walk of the beach and a slightly longer walk to the town, is superb and the best accommodation we have had in India. Our room was on the ground floor with its own shaded terrace and surrounded by... More
