Villa Akasa is a serene 5-room homestay on Varkala’s quiet South Cliff, a short walk to a peaceful beach away from the busy North Cliff.

Among them is Prithvi, one of our most quiet rooms, with a private garden and verandah, and an open air shower.

Surrounded by greenery, it’s a relaxed, homely space to slow down and enjoy the coastal charm. Our warm team — with our gentle dogs Yakko and Sophie — loves welcoming guests and sharing the simple, soulful beauty of life in God’s Own Country.

I escaped the chaos of Bangalore city and moved to Varkala to find peace and quiet. I built Villa Akasa as a home for me and my family. My sons both live abroad and this is where they come when they visit me. Every detail was built with love, thinking about what I personally look for to find peace and comfort. I love nature and allow it to grow in abundance at Villa Akasa. The sight of green brings me instant peace. As does my gentle giant, my labrador, Yakko. I love to cook. I take great joy in visiting the market, buying fresh ingredients and creating delicious healthy food. I am also deeply proud of my culture and love to share the story of India with others. My favorite travel destinations are Sri Lanka and Bali. Being close to nature and the ocean, watching the sunset and listening to the sound of birds - these are the simple pleasures that make me happy. I am blessed because I don’t have to travel for these moments, I can get them right here in Varkala. I love to host other people in my home. It allows me to learn about other cultures but most importantly it gives me great joy when a guest leaves feeling relaxed and rejuvenated. Varkala has given me so much happiness - It’s my pleasure to share this with others.
