5 star resorts in Goa with private beach

My wife and I are interested in a Goa holiday as it is a very popular destination. We would like to get a 5-star resort but one which provides a private beach. I had heard someone once speaking about hotels and resorts having their private beaches, and them being served drinks and snacks on the beach itself. I don't know how much of this is true, so I would need some input on this as well.

I would first like to know what options I have to choose for a 5 star resorts in Goa with private beach, which a rough idea of cost as well.

Another query I have is, what exactly is provided on a private beach and what the whole concept of it is?

• Royal Orchid Beach Resort and Spa - They have a private beach as well, which is well-maintained and clean. It's in the Uttorda Beach area and it's quite deserted.

The resort also has four restaurants you can choose from. Their address is: Uttorda Beach, Salcette, Goa 403713.

Private resort beaches are just like the name, private. They are managed by the resort itself and is only accessible through the resort. Unlike public beaches, they are managed by private companies, mainly the resort management. Since it is on the resort itself, you can request for food and drinks from the resort's restaurant as well.

Most of the resorts' private beaches are more secluded than the public beaches. But not all of the private beaches are like this, others aren't well-maintained and can be accessed by other tourists too. So it also depends on the resort's management and how well they are taking care of the private beach.

I hope this helps.

 

A holiday in a luxury hotel with a private beach sounds like exactly the kind of holiday I would love. Everyone I have spoken to has told me how beautiful the beaches of Goa are and how amazing their experience was in the resorts there. I think that Goa is going on my top three list of possible honeymoon locations in India. Thanks for the expansive list of resorts. That is really going to come in handy when I'm deciding where to stay.
