3-star hotels in Arambol
A shortlist of 3-star hotels in Arambol, the bohemian beach village in North Goa, chosen from the listed properties with their guest ratings, facilities and distances to the centre. It is for couples, families and slow travellers weighing a beachfront hut against an inland resort.
Staying in Arambol
Arambol sits beneath a laterite plateau topped with coconut palms and cashew trees, and its freshwater lake behind Kalacha beach, fed by a spring, is a local landmark. The Wednesday flea market near the beach draws vendors selling clothes, jewellery and handicrafts, and despite growing popularity the village keeps narrow lanes, Portuguese-era houses and a mix of Indian and international residents.
The listed hotels cluster in two areas. Swati Hotel on Khalchawada, This is it Stays Beach View Rooms & Huts on Khalcha Wadda, Jp Resort on Kepkerwada, Love Temple Wellness Beach Resort near the Life Guard and Maitree in Socoillo Vado all stand within about 1.3 km of the centre, close to the sand. Fort Tiracol Goa at Terekhol Village, Konkan Crown Resort & Club Sawantwadi near Sawantwadi Railway Station, Shilpgram Heritage Resort on Sawantwadi Rd and Arambol Paradise By Pss Properties on Ap Road lie further out. The first group suits couples and short breaks on foot; the resorts outside the village suit families and guests who want pools, spas and playgrounds.

Plan your stay
When to go
The best time to visit Arambol is from November to February, when the weather is dry and pleasant, and this is when the beach, the Wednesday flea market and the freshwater lake at Kalacha are at their easiest. The monsoon, from June to September, brings heavy rain and rough seas, closing many beach huts. March to May is hot and humid, with temperatures often exceeding 30°C, so plan beach time for the mornings if you travel then.
