Experience Chintamani’s Rustic Charm In Varkala
The name Chintamani translates to the philosopher’s stone—symbolising wisdom and transformation. True to its name, the homestay serves as a peaceful retreat where nature meets thoughtful design. The beautiful property features lush green grass, terracotta walls, and a turquoise pool, all of which create a calming ambiance. The property offers the best of both worlds as it is both conveniently located and tucked away from the hustle and bustle.
With its use of natural materials, Chintamani’s architecture represents traditional Keralan building methods. These elements not only lend the home an earthy, rustic feel and help keep the space naturally cool. The home is also surrounded by an orchard with Ayurvedic plants and trees.
A remarkable feature of the property is its water system. The water at Chintamani is sourced from a 100-year-old well that was lovingly restored during the construction of the home in 2022. Every brick, stone, and tile at Chintamani has been carefully brought to the property by hand, with no machinery involved in the construction. Even the pool here was excavated by hand. These features certainly make this property one of a kind.
An Idyllic Winter Retreat Awaits You
The beautiful homestay in Varkala is designed to offer you a peaceful, intimate experience. The property’s location makes it especially suited for families or close friends who wish to spend quality time together in seclusion.
The layout of the bedrooms offers unique flexibility for families or friends travelling together. Bedroom 2 can only be accessed via Bedroom 1, making it perfect for those who want to stay close but still have separate spaces. Getting to Chintamani is also part of the charm. Since parking space is unavailable at the property, you must walk about 100 yards down a private path to reach there.
Chintamani doesn’t just offer a place to stay; it offers a homey experience. Here, you can enjoy a traditional home-cooked breakfast or lunch delivered straight to your door. You can also schedule treks and tours to discover Varkala’s natural splendour. The proximity to the clifftop offers stunning views, and the beach is just a short walk away.
For those seeking an unforgettable winter getaway, Chintamani in Varkala is the ultimate destination.
