We also have travel and hotel partners elsewhere in India, so we can help make Goa your gateway for exploring further afield. Just ask reservations about our special packages.

Our suites are very comfortable and thoughtfully equipped and our restaurant caters for all tastes. And if you can't escape work while you are here, our business and conference facilities provide every assistance.

LOCATION
Goa is India's smallest state and is situated on the west coast, overlooking the Arabian sea. With around 120 km of coastline, there are many lovely beaches.

Baga Beach, one of Goa's scenic northern resorts, is a more peaceful adjunct to Calangute which was one of the early discoveries of the hippy tourists of the 60s and 70s who first spread the word about Goa as a traveller's paradise.

Colonia Santa Maria is situated right on Baga Beach, some 14 km from the capital city of Goa Panaji, 18 km from Tivim railway station and 45 km from Dabolim airport and Margao railway station

ACCOMMODATION
Colonia Santa Maria has 100 guest suites, each providing a sitting room, a bedroom with ensuite bathroom, and a small balcony. The bedrooms are double or twin-bedded.

Every suite is air-conditioned and contains a safety deposit box, a minibar and tea and coffee-making facilities. Guest supplies include a range of toiletries - and our inhouse laundry can take care of your clothes. Room service is just a phone call away - and you can also make local and international calls directly from your suite. We provide broadband internet access in our conference hall and at reception.

Making sure you are comfortable and have what you need is our prime aim - which is one reason why many of our guests keep coming back.


RESTAURANTS
The Balcao ("The Balcony") is our inhouse bar and restaurant, located on the terrace overlooking the hotel swimming pool. Its walls are enlivened with artwork from leading Goan artist Dominic Cordo whose gallery is within walking distance of the hotel.

We are fortunate in Goa to have a bountiful supply of high quality fresh food. The sea yields some of the finest fish, prawns and lobsters you will ever taste. And local farms grow a wide range of vegetables, salads, fruit, herbs and seasonings. It means that our chefs have the best possible ingredients with which to prepare meals - from simple snacks to banquets when required.

We provide you with a range of cuisines to choose from on our regular menu. Seafood is a special feature of course, but we also offer steaks and other mainstays of European cuisine. There are also North Indian tandoori specialties. And of course those special dishes for which Goa is renowned.
