3-star hotels in Diu
A shortlist of 3-star hotels in Diu, from the fort quarter of Diu Town to the resort strip at Nagoa Beach, with guest ratings from 3.7 to 4.0 out of 5. It suits couples, families and anyone planning a short break on the island.
Staying in Diu
Diu is flat and arid, with palm trees and salt pans, and it is small enough to explore in a day or two. The island divides into Diu Town, with its fort and old Portuguese quarters; Nagoa Beach, the main resort area; and Ghoghla, near the entrance to the island. Attractions include the Diu Fort, St. Paul's Church, St. Thomas Church and the Naida Caves, while Nagoa offers water sports and Chakratirth and Gomtimata are quieter. Alcohol is permitted here, unlike in neighbouring Gujarat.
The hotels on this shortlist sit in two parts of the island. Apaar Hotel, Hotel Samrat, OYO 18385 Hotel Triveni and The Fort House Diu IHCL SeleQtions are all in Diu Town, within 0.4 to 0.6 km of the centre. Kostamar Beach Resort and The Fern Seaside Luxurious Tent Resort Diu are on Nagoa Beach Road, 7.2 and 7.6 km out. Rainbow Resort is on Nagoa Road, Hotel Keshav and Hotel Shivam are at Zolawadi. Couples and families gravitate to the beach resorts, business travellers to the town hotels with meeting rooms.
