“Happy Buddha S4 feels more like a welcoming home than just a place to stay in Varkala. The host, Roshan, clearly goes above and beyond, even preparing meals and guiding guests to the best sunset views. With modern design, clean rooms, and thoughtful touches like complimentary yoga, it's a standout choice near the main cliff and beaches.”
