Magnolia is a 3 minute walk from the traditional fishing village of Odayam, and a short rickshaw ride from the iconic cliffs of Varkala with it’s shops and restaurants. Each morning you will see the brightly coloured boats of the local fisherman returning with their catches. You can also experience amazing views of endless horizons from the dramatic clifftop coastal footpath which will also take you to idyllic romantic coves of white sandy beaches. At the end of the day why not just relax on your own balcony, or the rooftop terrace and witness the spellbinding sunsets over the Arabian Sea. Upon entering Magnolia you will find yourself immersed in an oasis of tranquility bringing a sense of relaxation and calmness to the mind as you wander through the beautiful gardens.The resort offers a choice of accommodation catering for couples and families.
Ten years of experience in making sure that our guest has a fabulous time once they enter Magnolia. We are hard working and the customer rating on all social media channels shows the sheer determination, positive mentality and the pleasant attitude we shows towards our guests. We looking forward to have you here at Magnolia and be your host!!!!.
