Colonia Santa Maria

An introduction to Colonia Santa Maria

At Colonia Santa Maria, you most definitely bag the best of both worlds. Set in lush tropical gardens, this good-looking hotel is an oasis of serenity. Yet step outside and just a short stroll away are the resort's bustling shops, bars and restaurants. The piece de resistance though has to be its position. Slap bang on the sugary-soft sands of Baga Beach on the stretch known as 'Baywatch', it has a prime beachfront setting overlooking the sparkling Arabian Sea. Made up of 23 colonial-style cottages, this attractive complex is like a village in itself. And the traditional Goan hospitality here will charm the flip-flops off you from the word go. Spend lazy days stretched out on a comfy sun lounger by the crystal clear swimming pool. Pad down the few paces to the gold dust sands and take a swim in the glittering seas. Or if you want to step things up a gear, have a game of football on the hotel pitch or try your hand at a new watersport or two. And if you want to head out of the hotel, browse the nearby shops selling Kashmiri and Tibetan handicrafts or practise your swing at one of the local golf courses. However you spend your time though, take time out to savour the mouth-watering Goan cuisine. Pull up a chair at The Balcao, a bar and restaurant on the hotel's terrace and tuck into aromatic specialities such as 'Xacuti', chicken with roasted coconut and fragrant spices. Be warned though - you'll fall for this Goan gem hook, line and sinker. And you'll be wishing to come back long after you've shaken the sand from your suitcase.
