Perched above Varkala’s red cliffs with panoramic views of the Arabian Sea, Trip is Life has become an iconic Kerala travel destination thanks to its a-frame design and uninterrupted views of the sea. Built for travellers chasing connection, creativity and calm and run by a friendly team of locals and long-term wanderers, it combines boutique comfort with a laid-back backpacker spirit. Expect airy rooms with local art, open communal spaces for yoga or conversation, and a café serving wholesome vegetarian fare. Days here flow easily: morning surf, lazy brunch, sunset chai on the terrace.
