Goa hotels are bringing a new face to this tropical heaven's seashore scenery.
Staying in a hotel in Goa is not merely pinching pennies. It's meeting other travelers from around the globe, sharing stories by the beach bonfire, or going on a spontaneous scooter ride along Goa's lush countryside roads. From party scenes to peaceful retreats, there is a hostel that fits your kind of travel.
Goa hotels range from plain beach hut accommodation at Vagator to sleek, Instagram-able dorms at Anjuna and Palolem. There are beaches right on top of some hotels, while others are peaceful garden surroundings. Even most hotels offer private rooms besides dorms, so there is variety for solo travelers, couples, or even small groups.
Amenities typically include complimentary Wi-Fi, communal lounges, game rooms, co-work spaces, and yoga classes or surf lessons at some. There are also hotels that do open mic evenings or group events, so there's a possibility of seeing the best of Goa beyond the beach bars.
Whether for a weekend visit to Goa or a long backpacking trip, hotels offer a low-cost, social, and fun way of experiencing the state.
