1. 5 star resorts and hotels in Goa
The Bogmallo Beach Resort
The Bogmallo Beach Resort, one of the very first luxury 5 star resorts in Goa is
nestled on the secluded white sands of Bogmalo beach and is located just 10
minutes from the airport. The resort boasts of 126 rooms well appointed sea
facing rooms and 15 luxury sea facing cottages.
Bogmallo Beach Resort sports a mixture of serenity and commercialism,
splashed with simple beauty where one can happily lose oneself. Initially
Bogmalo in Goa was a fishing village until tourists started pouring in and
discovered the tranquillity and charm of this beautiful arch shaped beach.
Despite modern eating joints, hi-tech shops selling handicrafts surrounding it, the
village at Bogmalo still manages to maintain its authenticity. The beach compared
to other beaches in North Goa like Calangute, Anjuna, Vagator etc. is not very
crowded and the water is quite safe for swimming. After the swim one could walk
up the direct access from the beach to the hotel and sip on a cool drink by our
poolside and mesmerize in the cool breeze of the open Arabian sea.
Bogmallo Beach Resort in Goa is beautiful in itself. The hotel is right on the
beach and as the waves lash the parapets of the open-air restaurant, the drone
of the restless Arabian Sea lulls to sleep even the most insomniac. This is one
attraction which all the tourists eagerly look forward to. The hotel is surrounded
by a pair of palm fringed headlands, and the view from each and every room is
one that gives you an entire picture of what Goa is all about. The dolphins
splashing around in the water, the fishermen tugging on their nets, and the
airplanes taking off from the runway are a few of the things that no other hotel in
Goa can promise.
