GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE VARKALA BEACH RESORT
Clean Textiles
Upon arrival a bath robe with thongs to wear after treatments will be at your disposal.
Any Ayurvedic treatments include oil massages and the application of essences on your skin, which naturally leads to oily residues and stains on bath robes, towels, pillows and sheets.
Unfortunately, these remain even after intensive washing as in India laundry is only done using cold water.
Nevertheless, we assure you that all textiles are being cleaned hygienically.

ELECTRICAL OUTAGES
Unfortunately, electrical supply in India isn’t exactly up par to western standards, which is something one has to acknowledge. We do have a high quality generator to balance this out; it, however, can’t be used after 10pm and 7am as this would cause far too much noise at night. This might also affect hot water supply. As this is out of our hands, we would
kindly like to ask you to accept this and thank you for your understanding. T
he reception will provide you with a flashlight should you wish to receive one to feel safer.

ACCESS TO THE BEACH
For safety reasons the gate to the beach will be closed from 6pm to 6am. Kindly note that walks on the beach during this time period are at your own risk.
INSECTS AND SMALL ANIMALS
Dear guest,
welcome to a land of everlasting summer.
Here, you might encounter small animals far more frequently than you are used to from your home country. We offer mosquito nets to protect you from mosquitos. In the evening, long-sleeved clothes and socks can be worn. There’s a possibility you’ll share your room with small bugs, spiders, caterpillars and geckos (which may leave feces like
mice). Those small animals aren’t dangerous, though. Being an Ayurvedic resort we try to avoid chemicals. Should you feel uncomfortable due to small animals in your room, please contact the reception.
