Calangute Residency Goa
The
belief is that if one bathes in the salty goodness of the Calangute
water and dries off in the Calangute sun and sand, various
ailments from the common cold to the agony of arthiritis are kept at bay.
Standing on the sands of the world famous Calangute Beach the
58-room Calangute Residency of Goa Tourism Development
Corporation (GTDC) offers comfortable rooms. This
luxurious complex forms part of a melting pot where the East meets the West
with the most happening night life of Goa just a stone’s
throw away.
This complex offers you hip party nights and lazy serene days. A medicinal
dip in the sea is a tradition with locals residing in the surrounding hills.
Situated on the sands of the world famous Calangute Beach
, the Calangute Residency offers you rooms overlooking
the sea. Calangute Beach is just 16 km from the capital
city of Panaji is the most popular destination for domestic and
foreign holidaymakers.
You
can take your pick of meals at the Blue Bay restaurant
which is very popular with locals and tourists alike The rooms are comfortable
and spacious and the suites just perfect for an entire family. Best of all
are the large patios where one can sit out and drink in the awesome beauty
of the Arabian Sea any time of the day or night.
The cottages are tastefully fitted with authentic and comfortable Goan Portuguese furniture. For those who prefer non-airconditioned rooms, the crisp sea breeze fills the rooms and your entire being.
403 and 404 are especially comfortable, with balconies for both sitting room and bedroom a small room for wardrobe and stowing away your luggage.
The lovely garden of the Calangute Residency is a beautiful foil to the pretty cottages and the blue sea beyond. The Residency is also pretty hi-tech in that it has its own waster water treatment plant where recycled waste water is used for watering the garden.
Walk
along the beach line from Sinquerim/Candolim/Calangute
to Baga for getting all those cobwebs out of your mind.
It is a peaceful yet exhilarating experience. You can hire
a motorbike or scooter and go on a bike ride to
the 16th century Aguada Fort or to the sandy rocky,
picturesque beaches like Vagator (7kms) and Anjuna (5kms),
Chapora (9kms). Do wear a crash helmet though and ride
carefully. Another special feature on this stretch of beaches
is the flea market on Wednesdays and Arpora Night market,
with live music, on Thursdays and Saturdays.
The streets of Calangute are filled with shops offering a wide range of goods, namely souvenirs, metal crafts, leather items, clothes and jewellery, not just from Goa , but from other parts of the country as well.
The sober may just relax or sun bathe on the sun kissed beaches or sit comfortably in the shacks sipping and watching the ever-playful beach. The adventurous can venture into water sport activities like parasailing or ride the waves on water scooters.
Tito’s and Mambo’s on the Baga road are a few of he hottest spots where everyone jams up looking for party action.
