Garuda Suites
A landmark of opulence nestled in Varkala's vibrant heart, Garuda Suites is not merely a hotel; it's an experience that embodies the essence of Kerala's rich culture and coastal charm. Strategically located just 1.5 km from Odayam Beach, the entrance enchants with a harmonious blend of modern design and traditional artistry, setting a tone of refined elegance. The lobby greets guests with its soaring ceilings and striking artworks that capture the spirit of the region. Here, the ambience is infused with a subtle aroma of fresh coconut and spices, welcoming you to your coastal retreat. One is instantly plunged into a world of plush seating and artisanal décor; the art installations draw you deeper into the narrative of Kerala's heritage, drawing comparisons between contemporary motifs and age-old craftsmanship. Move upstairs to find the rooftop lounge, where evening cocktails offer breathtaking views of the sunset painting the cliffs and ocean in a blend of gold and crimson.
Explore the Local Area
Garuda Suites lies at a confluence of cultural allure and natural beauty, setting you up for a superb exploration of Varkala. The nearby Varkala Cliff, just a kilometer away, beckons with its stunning views and vibrant cafés. String together visits to the Janardanaswamy Temple and Varkala Beach, both within a 1.5 km radius; or embark on a spiritual journey to the Sivagiri Mutt, located merely 4 km from the property. For those wishing to explore further, the iconic Napier Museum and the revered Sree Padmanabhaswamy Temple await, approximately 46 km distant. Thiruvananthapuram International Airport is a convenient 45 km away, easily accessible by car, ensuring your journey to this paradise remains seamless.

“The apartments certainly offer space, situated at a walkable distance between the beach and town; a convenient supermarket isn't far either. While the location is a fifteen-minute walk to the cliff, the generous size of the apartments is a definite plus. A solid choice for families who value room to spread out.”
