Soul & Surf Kerala

Magical! I loved every minute from when I arrived, in the middle of the night, S&S had arranged transfer from TRV airport. Great driver and lovely night audit who took care of me upon arrival. The room was lovely, the food great and the staff were amazing. Had one of the best massages ever. Joined the morning surf trips and had a great BBQ evening. You never feel lonely, yet if you want your own space it’s there. The beach was the best ever. I can only say thank you S & S for some wonderful days, first time for me in India, you have made sure that I will be back!

I loved staying at Soul & Surf. The premises are very nice and well maintained, the rooms are comfy and pretty and the staff is lovely. Yoga and surf are a lot of fun and the yoga Shala on the rooftop perfect for sunset sessions. The surf lessons are the best I had in any surf camp because the ratio of learners and instructors was really good and all instructors are very much engaged to get you on the waves, learn and have fun. I stayed 4 days but I was recharged as if it had been 2 weeks! Thanks to all the lovely people working at soul & surf for this wonderful and memorable experience. I hope to be back soon <3

I stayed here for 4 nights for surfing. After visiting a big city, staying at Soul & Surf was a proper retreat. Quality of surf lessons was great and we had a good ratio of students per instructor, each of them being very keen to help us improve and share helpful advices. You can also buy professional photos taken during your lesson. Every staff was welcoming and helpful, and the receptionist made me feel at home as soon as I arrived. The place is very charming and well maintained with an amazing ocean view. And if you love dogs, you will have a pleasure to meet their two dogs (and sometimes more from outside) there.

My partner and I have just spent a fantastic week at Soul and Surf over Christmas in Varkala. We opted for both the daily surf and yoga package. Everyone, from the front office to the cafe staff to the surf and yoga crew are great and always willing to help.||Varkala is an ideal place for learning to surf. The water is beautifully warm, the beach is sandy and rock free, the waves are friendly and the sun shines. Consequently you only have to think about surfing! The surf crew were fab and I've learnt loads. The place has a great mentality. They focus on the spirt and artistic side of surfing, encourage people to respect the ocean and look after the environment.|The yoga shala is fabulous space and the daily yoga class post surf is much needed.||Following the early morning surf session breakfast in the cafe is really tasty. Lots of options, fresh fruit, toast, museli, eggs, tea, coffee. The cafe staff also cooked a fabulous meal for Christmas Day.||The accommodation at Soul and Surf is also everything you could want; air conditioning, comfy bed, fresh towels and complimentary toiletries.||I can't recommend this place enough and hope to return. I really enjoyed my time here.

My dad and I spent Christmas here and had a lovely time. The staff were all really friendly and helpful - not only were they able to improve my surfing, they also recommended a good tailor that they use as locals. Christmas day was a fancy dress surf followed by a delicious dinner that we ate along with the staff, making for a delightful change from the British Christmas we're used to. Be warned that service can be a little slow during the breakfast rush.

We had an amazing week here. The staff were exceptional for surf tuition, yoga and so so friendly. There were some English girls working in the cafe who really helped us be a part of this lovely team. It was a super happy and friendly vibe. We were there for Christmas an amazing day starting with fancy dress surfing, a wonderful Christmas lunch and everyone was dancing the night away after a sunset swim together. A truly memorable experience thank you all. David and Zak

I recently had the pleasure of staying at soul and surf in kerala. I was travelling solo and this was the perfect place. It has really nice vibe and the staff are so friendly and helpful. The rooms are comfortable and kept clean. The gardens overlooking the beach are a sanctuary where you can chill and relax. I didnt do the surf lessons this time, but the yoga sessions were great 😊. The massage therapy with katie was amazing. The food is also really good and they have themed evenings to get involved in. A great hotel in a great location.

We went to the soul and surf cafe for dinner. They were streaming home alone for the open air movie night and were serving pizzas. The menu options were limited and I believe are catered for the western audience due the the mild flvours. The overall vibe is quite chill and relaxed. They have yoga and surfing sessions which we unfortunately did not have the time to take. But they explained everything very warmly and I do think I will give their yoga session a shot during my next visit there.
