I am new to the forum and have joined to find out what choices I have for Goa beach resorts with a private beach. I have seen some but they are are the high-end ones which are slightly over our budget. Although we are not looking for cheap resorts, but they should be at least half decent. I have heard that some resorts with a private beach provide services at the beach as well, so getting a resort like that would be our first choice. Our budget is somewhere between $55-$65 per night.
Hi, welcome to the forum! Overview What makes for a relaxing vacation? Is it the presence of sandy shores, palm trees and clear blue waters? Or perhaps the serenity of a beach resort, which can provide you with anything you need while on your holiday? What if you can have both? Truth be told, beach resorts in Goa that have their own stretch of private beach cost more than the normal beach resorts. This is especially true for the more central areas like Calangute and Baga. But this is Goa, so you're still bound to find more affordable resorts that can give you access to a private beach for a more relaxing time while you're on vacation.
