Spending a week at Vishram Village was a very heartwarming experience. Initially, I arrived with the simple desire to escape my usual regimen and immerse myself in a slower pace. Little did I know that this place would exceed my expectations and slowly grow on me. I longed for a hideaway where I could relax and rejuvenate, and this retreat fulfilled that desire perfectly.
The private backwaters were an oasis of tranquillity, where the gentle lapping of the water against the shore became a comforting background. As a woman
incredibly safe and at ease, finding comfort in a safe and welcoming How can I help you?
like a home away from home.
My favourite place at Vishram Village was the blue pier, a serene sitting area right on the water. It allowed me to fully immerse myself in the beauty of my surroundings. No noise, no background music: just me and nature. Sitting there, I felt a profound sense of peace and connection with the place.
The fact that Vishram Village is not exactly in Varkala makes it even more perfect: one can experience the natural quiet here and then spend some time in busy Varkala before returning to this peaceful haven.
Every morning at Vishram Village began with yoga, which set the tone for my day. During the day I enjoyed playing with Nala (rottweiler), who was very playful, friendly and energetic. It was also refreshing to dance freely without any thoughts or expectations.
At home, I found myself trapped in a cycle of self-judgement and unhelpful opinions about myself. Being here at Vishram Village has allowed me to put all these thoughts aside and simply be present in the moment.
I feel incredibly light, as if a weight has been lifted off me. No doubt the food was an added factor, because it was delicious and gentle on the stomach.
The peace and tranquillity of Vishram Village allowed me to unwind and reconnect with myself. The time spent here filled me with happiness and contentment and I cannot recommend it enough. I’m genuinely going to miss this place very much.
