Cavala Resort, Goa: Affordable and comfortable

There’s a reason why we keep revisiting this old favourite — it mixes comfort and affordability better than any place we know. Modest without being frugal, familiar without being intrusive and frankly just plain charming with its green, palm-filled backdrop and quaint architecture, Cavala will impress even the seasoned traveller. Steps away from north Goa’s lively Baga beach, the boutique resort incorporates 30 cosy rooms, each with a private sit-out overlooking either the pool or the neighbouring paddy fields. The best part? Dinner-time in the hotel’s restaurant/bar, where live jazz and energetic sing-alongs accompanied by delicious local cuisine offer a fantastic atmosphere.
