Going on a holiday to Goa is everybody’s dream. Beaches in Goa are the most happening places throughout the state. It is the beaches that make Goa Tourism very famous and the favorite for all.

There are many things that one can do in Goa and spend as many days as they want merrily in Goa. Staying in Goa can never be an issue for tourists as there are numerous homestays, rooms, budget hotels, beach resorts, luxurious lodges, and many more options to suit everybody’s needs.

Calangute Beach is the name that comes up first when you hear about a holiday in Goa. It is one of the ever-playful beaches for people with all kinds of interests. The sober can relax and just sunbathe watching all the activities going around; for the adventurous, there are so thrilling water sports activities to enjoy. Staying close to this beach is one of the best things we did recently.

On our recent trip to Goa, we chose to stay close to Calangute Beach. We zeroed in on staying at Calangute Residency and booked our rooms. The best thing we liked about this hotel residency is that it is located on the sands of Calangute Beach and is highly scenic, as expected in Goa.

Location and accessibility

Almost every room offers the guests a beautiful view of the sea.

Not very far from the state capital Panaji, Calangute Beach is the most popular choice amongst domestic and also foreign tourists. Experiencing a stay on the sands of the beach is a must on your to-do list in Goa. Thus, booking your room at Calangute Residency is the first thing you should do before you travel to Goa.

From our experience, we highly recommend Calangute Residency as it is also close and easily accessible from other major cities of Goa. Mapusa Bus Station is only 20 km away, Thivim Railway Station is about 16 km away from Calangute, and if you are flying to Goa the International Airport Dabolim in Goa is 48 km away. This means the travel system in Goa is just perfect for all holidaymakers.
