Overview
Santana Beach Resort is a charming 3-star hotel that captures the soulful essence of Goa with its traditional Portuguese-style architecture and whitewashed cottages. Tucked away in a quiet corner of Candolim, you’ll feel miles away from the hustle and bustle while being just a short walk from the famous Aguada Fort. The unique hook of this hotel is its beautifully maintained tropical gardens; you’ll find yourself wandering through pathways lined with swaying coconut palms and blooming bougainvillea that lead you directly toward the golden sands of the Arabian Sea.

Dining
Food at the resort is a real treat, served at Olegario’s, the poolside bar and restaurant. You can choose from **Bed and Breakfast** or **Half Board** meal plans to suit your holiday style. Start your morning with a relaxed breakfast before heading out, or enjoy a romantic dinner where you can dine just steps from the refreshing sea breeze. The menu features a mix of local Goan delicacies and international favourites, ensuring there is something to tempt your taste buds every evening.
Pools and Spa
You have the choice of two inviting outdoor swimming pools, each surrounded by sun loungers and parasols for a day of total relaxation. Whether you want to take a refreshing dip or simply get lost in a book under the shade of a palm tree, the atmosphere is calm and chilled. If you are looking for some extra pampering, the hotel offers various wellness treatments. Please note that the use of the Spa centre, including massages and specific beauty treatments, is subject to an additional charge.
Beach
One of the best things about your stay here is the location. The hotel is within walking distance of Candolim Beach, one of the most popular stretches of sand in North Goa. Because this is a public beach, sun loungers and umbrellas are usually provided by local beach shacks and are available at an extra charge. It is the perfect spot for long sunset walks or simply watching the waves roll in.
Sport and Entertainment
The vibe here is focused on tranquil relaxation, but you will find plenty of ways to stay entertained. You can stroll into the centre of Candolim to explore local markets and vibrant nightlife, or enjoy a quiet drink at the hotel bar as the sun goes down. For those who want to explore further, the hotel can help arrange local excursions to nearby historical sites or boat trips along the coast.
Family Amenities
Families are more than welcome at Santana Beach Resort. While the atmosphere is peaceful, kids will love splashing around in the dedicated section of the swimming pool. The spacious garden layout provides plenty of room for children to move around safely, and the proximity to the beach means building sandcastles is always on the daily agenda.
