My stay in the hostel was very Nice, the accomodation is confy and I had a lot of free time to go for a walk on the cliff, surf or hang out with Friends met at the camp. The work was very chill and the vibe super nice

Romane was a very mindful volunteer during her time with us. She came up with a cool signboard design for us and developed multiple drafts and was great company at our sunset kayaking picnics :)

İ had a great week at the hostel. My task was to work on painting and decoration. İt was fun working with Aparna, as she was open to hear about my ideas and gave me the right means to express my creativity. Chill and flexible. She also was very welcoming, inviting me to partecipate on the different activities she organizes for her guests on retreats. The rooftop is really beautiful, it was the perfect place to meditate, movement, or just chill and enjoy the view. 5 min walking from the beach. Peaceful surroundings. İ wish İ stayed more!

Thanks a ton for staying with us, Defne. The signboard you decorated for us will always remain a beautiful warm blue memory for us, so will the time you spend with our retreat guests- next time we would love to have you as a workshop host and do sip and paint workshops or anything you would love to work on. Hope your stay at Varkala was safe and full of beautiful sunsets. Until next time 💙
