6 Affordable Hotels in Goa (2025)

Goa's palm-fringed beaches, Indo-Portuguese architecture, and famed laid-back vibe has long been pulling visitors to the area. Unlike some beach destinations, Goa boasts a broad collection of great value hotels that don't compromise on quality. Whether you want an atmospheric beachfront shack, an historic stay, or something a little more contemporary - there is plenty to choose from.

For a beachfront stay

• Agonda Villas is arguably the best place to stay on Agonda. This beachfront collection of nine luxurious bamboo huts provides stylish accommodation just a few steps from the sea. All villas boast enormous beds and stunning bathrooms, the best being outdoors, and all come with a private terrace and a warm outdoor spa tub.  

For a unique stay

• Art Resort is an authentic resort offering 12 unique cottages on Palolem beach. Each comfortable cottage is decorated in a traditional Indian beach style with wooden floors and vibrantly coloured soft furnishings. With yoga, art classes, and a restaurant on the beach, this is a real Goa experience.

For an Indo-Portuguese villa

• Tucked under the palms in lovely Majorda, Vivenda Dos Palhacos is the sort of spot that invites guests to return again and again. A quirky hideaway in a heritage house, with antique furnishings and patterned textiles in each individually decorated room, it oozes timeless charm.
• Turiya Villa and Spa, restored by a Mumbai-based architect; this 100-year-old traditional Portuguese-style villa is a little haven in South Goa. Colourful walls and heavy wooden doors reveal rooms filled with art and antiques. There are tranquil gardens with hammocks and authentic Konkani dishes served each evening.   
• Set in a 140-year-old Portuguese villa in beautiful Aldona, The Project Café fuses traditional Goan heritage with a hip modern makeover. An intimate and authentic stay with a refreshing swimming pool, quirky bar and bold murals. 

For a romantic stay

• The Cape Goa is a relaxed, romantic escape perched on top of a cliff overlooking the Arabian Sea. Offering just nine cottages, this spot affords ultimate privacy with al fresco hot tubs, indoor-outdoor showers and dazzling views over the water.
