A cozy room with an incredible view of the sea. Cool waves lapping at my feet. Chilling at the pool with drinks. Sitting along the cliff, watching mesmerizing sunsets with my partner. And, beautiful white theme décor to make sure that a photo taken in any corner is simply stunning.

This was my dream vacation, and we made it come alive at Elixir Cliff Beach Resort and Spa in Varkala.

About the Property

The resort is perched on the edge of a cliff, making it a perfect vantage point for viewing the Arabian sea down below, and the sunsets from above

Rooms

The property has 3 variants of rooms- Garden View, Deluxe Sea View, and Jacuzzi Sea View Suite Room.

We stayed in the Deluxe Sea View Rooms on the 2nd floor of the property, because the rooms in the middle of this floor have the best views.
