Varkala cliff and cliffside beach is anything but an ordinary travel spot. It’s where the sea meets sky, and sunsets are so breathtaking, that time seems to pause – just long enough for you to take a deep breath! The interesting winding paths along the cliff, and the breathtaking views of the sea not withstanding – there’s one thing that can quietly but completely change everything about your stay: A Varkala cliff resort with pool.
Welcome to Skylar Seaview beach resort!
Key Takeaways
Skylar Seaview’s cliff-top resort in Varkala combines sea views with a large, well-kept pool and adjoining kids’ pool, open until 8 pm with underwater lighting (seasonal weather may affect access). Guests can pick pool-view or sea-view rooms, with Superior Sea View rooms closest to the pool.

Can A Varkala Cliff Resort With Pool Really Make A Difference To Your Trip?
If you’re a travel buff who has sometimes wondered if staying at a pool resort really makes a difference to your experience, then this is for you:
For Families: A Space That Works for Everyone
When kids are happily engaged with themselves in water, parents really get to relax – and that’s a win-win. Don’t you think?! When you see a clean and well-maintained pool, good hygiene is the first thing you’re assured of, and gives you peace of mind. For the kids, to be able to clearly see the floor of the pool only adds to their excitement and have even more fun!
It’s that kind of experience which made another guest of ours, Haripreethi, to say “… (our) Kids enjoyed the swimming pool, while we enjoyed the sea view from the pool side.”
Ask any parent who has been to a family resort with pool, and they’d share how the pool became a welcome break for both kids and adults in the family. The kids can be busy among themselves, while the parents and other adults in the family can relax next to the pool with a nice book, or engage in conversations they always wanted to have – uninterrupted.
For Couples: Quiet Romance & Deeper Connections
Let’s start with the room. When you’re with your special someone, it’s not the plan for the day, but the feeling of togetherness that actually matters. When you book a pool-view room, with a balcony – and a partial or full view of the sea; you get to wake up to gentle sounds of the waters kissing the shore, a coffee by the pool, followed by a swim.
You also get to enjoy quiet late evening swims (our pool is open till 8 pm), casual conversations on loungers, the comfort of shared silence, or an intimate candle light dinner not far away from the pool. It’s the setting and the ambience that facilitates pleasant and meaningful conversations, which creates deeper connections.
Here’s a walkthrough of a Pool View Room with Partial Sea View.
For Friends: A Fun Spot to Hangout
Whether it’s the birthday of your childhood buddy, or just a catch-up with your ‘gang’ that’s been long overdue, a pool brings everyone closer together. Adding games and some music by the water only makes it harder for all of you to leave pool! That’s what made Shashini write “Nice swimming pool. Loved it.” when she visited us for a holiday with her friends.
From laid-back afternoon dips to impromptu fun by the water, the pool naturally becomes the heart of your gathering. The deck chairs facilitate lounging with your friends and trade stories, share playlists, and of course – click stunning selfies too!
Say no to fixed plans and yes to just fluid fun! Togetherness with friends doesn’t need an itinerary. It just needs good spot by the pool – which we will provide. You just focus on having a great time with your buddies!
For Solo Travellers: Calm Without Isolation
When someone is alone, it doesn’t necessarily mean that they should be feeling lonely. You know that, and that’s why you travel solo. For travellers like you, a pool can offer quiet and comforting company. This means you can just read a book or sip a smoothie, either right next to the pool or in it as you float. That’s why our resort is also popular among many, including those who’re on a Varkala solo female travel experience.
Since the premises of our beach resort in Varkala cliff with pool is adjoining the beach, and comes with a direct beach access to reach the shore, you’re always surrounded by gentle sounds of the waves to give you a sense of calm. As a typical solo traveller who wants to spend time with herself/himself without a packed itinerary, that’s all you need. Isn’t it?!
Note: The private direct access to the beach from the resort may sometimes be closed during monsoon season or due to inclement weather, usually at the directive of the government/local authorities.
