Top 10 Resorts in Goa, India

May 7, 2023 Brandee Mangan

The sandy coast of Goa is perfect for reclining by the sea. Nestle into a cushioned chair at a beach shack and savor a curry while you sip a Kingfisher beer, watching the sun slip lazily below the horizon. In Old Goa, the beautiful Basilica of Bom Jesus is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a fine example of baroque architecture. Visit during Christmastime to experience a fantastic religious and cultural mash-up of East and West.

Take a trip back to history at Sterling Goa Varca, our resort located just near where Vasco Da Gama discovered the sea route to India.

Beautiful place and extraordinary service

Reviewed By kanikarathod

One of the most peaceful and calm destinations for families and couples who want to spend a quality time out from the busy lives. Caravela provides an amazing view of its well maintained garden, pool and the entire property including the sea view ( beach is just a few meters from our rooms). Highly cooperative staffs - starting from reception desk, pool service, room service and it goes on. A special mention of "Madhu" from the reception who managed to upgrade our room as a gift because they knew we had our anniversary. To add upon it was the evening surprise in our room which was decorated with balloons and a lovely cake in our absence. This was totally unexpected and so so thoughtful of them. It made our day. Again thanks to Fatima and Saniya for the superb room cleaning service. It was in all a 5star experience!

Great place - its USP is three things - on the beach, great "Sunken bar" and excellent Calamari Restaurant

Reviewed By JRPune

I have been visiting Goa every year since 2013, other than the 2020 and 2021 (Covid years), and this is the only place that I have stayed because of the unique experience in terms of its (a) proximity to a quiet and secluded beach, (b) a wonderful pool which also serves as a bar, and (c) a great restaurant right next to the premises - Calamari, which also has a wonderful ambience. More over Santana beach resort also has a wonderful staff - this include the people who take care of the bookings and room reservation (Nilesh, Amar and Alex) and the room service and breakfast staff (Subol and team). The proximity to important shopping places like Newton's, Fab India and eateries like Fisherman's cove, helps a lot. Moreover, you can take a morning run/walk to Fort Aguada and the Aguada Jail which has been newly opened this year. These attractions are within 1.5-2kms from Santana.
