Notes from us, on coastal

Things we’d tell a friend before they booked. Specific, opinionated, occasionally inconvenient.

i.

Goa has 69 hotels here — more than any other destination.

Goa is India’s most hotel-dense leisure destination. JW Marriott, W Goa, Taj Holiday Village, Park Hyatt, Grand Hyatt, Westin, Fairfield × 3, Courtyard, DoubleTree × 2, Hilton, Hyatt Place. If you want branded beach, Goa is the answer.

North Goa party: W, Taj Holiday, DoubleTree. South Goa quiet: Park Hyatt, Grand Hyatt, Leela.

ii.

Kerala backwaters book out 6 weeks ahead.

December–February peak Kerala season has Alleppey houseboats and lakeside resorts booking 1.5 months in advance. If you’re planning a Kerala honeymoon or family trip, start booking 8 weeks out. The good properties don’t take last-minute.

Plan early: Kumarakom Lake Resort, Niraamaya Backwaters, The Leela Kovalam, Marari Beach Resort.

iii.

Monsoon coastal stays are a different product.

Goa June–September is empty, rainy, and cheap. Kerala monsoon (very different from Mumbai monsoon) is actually one of the best wellness seasons — Ayurveda centres push monsoon treatments. Off-season coastal can be exceptional value if you know which property is built for it.

Monsoon-friendly coastal: Park Hyatt Goa, Grand Hyatt Goa, Niraamaya Kovalam, Coconut Lagoon.

Coast or backwater?

Goa is not Kerala. Choose your water.
