3-star hotels in Colva
This shortlist gathers the 3-star hotels of Colva, the long-beach village of South Goa. It is for travellers who want a pool, a restaurant and a short walk or drive to the sand without paying for a five-star resort.
Staying in Colva
Colva is known for its long sandy beach, one of the longest in South Goa, and for its lively beach shacks and water sports. The main strip along Colva Beach Road is lined with resorts, restaurants and shops, offering easy access to the beach and nightlife, while inland Colva Village is quieter, with local houses and small guesthouses. Benaulim, just south, is a neighbouring beach village with a relaxed atmosphere, and Margao, about 6 km away, is the nearest city and transport hub.
These 3-star hotels sit in and around that beach strip. Several stand on Colva Beach Road or face the beach itself, the closest being Krishna Beach Resort and Spa at 0.1 km from the centre, Club Mahindra Acacia Palms at 0.5 km and Salcete Beach Resort at 0.7 km. Others sit a little further back, from Lykke Suites at 0.8 km to OYO 5583 Alagoa Resort at 2.2 km. The mix suits couples on a short break, families who want pools and kids' pools, and guests who prefer a resort with a restaurant, parking and air conditioning.
