Holiday of the day: surfing and yoga in Kerala

Owners Ed Templeton and Sofie Radecki have been running a similar venture for several years but this autumn are moving Soul & Surf to a new location overlooking Golden Beach at Varkala. With 15 rooms, a cafe serving Keralan food, a surfing school with India's first and only ISA qualified instructors, daily yoga, and a host of other activities, it's the perfect spot for some serious winter R&R.
