Double room for 2 persons starting from ₹4,000 (€50). Contact directly Palmorama directly for reservations and price confirmation.
Accommodations outside the centre
You can find budget-friendly accommodation choices (approximately ₹1,000 or roughly €12 per night) within a 5-minute walk of Palmorama. It is in the countryside and often much cheaper than staying at the centre or by the beach. As us for advice if you needed.
If you opt for a beachfront accommodation in Mandrem, keep in mind it’s a 10-minute drive from Palmorama. Options range from hotels and Airbnb to guesthouses and private rooms, catering to various budgets. Search rooms around this Mandrem Beach landmark: Dunes hotel.
We recommend staying in Mandrem, but Ashwem, Morjim, or Arambol are also viable options. Keep in mind that it’s over a 30-minute drive from Anjuna Beach.
Some students choose to find accommodations on the spot, managed directly by landlords. However, for added convenience and safety, it’s recommended to book at least a few nights in advance using platforms like Airbnb | Trip Advisor | Booking.com |Goa Accommodation.
**IMPORTANT: Please be aware that January 26th is Indian Republic Day, and as a result, the long weekend from the 26th to the 28th is expected to be extremely busy. Consider arriving on the 30th as it may be a better option.
You may need to apply for an Indian Visa.
Please apply only for Tourist Visa.
Depending on your citizenship, it is easy to apply e-Visa online; visit: https://indiaevisas.org/apply-visa/
Otherwise, visit: https://indianvisaonline.gov.in to get the information, follow the procedure, or contact your travel agent.
Note: In most cases, 5-year visas and e-Visas issued before Covid remain valid. Contact the Indian embassy.
The nearest international airports are:
– Goa Dabolim Airport (GOI)
– Goa Manohar International Airport (GOX).
Some Airline companies propose direct flight/Charter to Goa. Also, Goa is reachable from most national / international airports in India. It takes a 60 to 90-minute flight to reach Goa from Mumbai, Bangalore, Chennai… and a 2-hour flight from Delhi.
Note: It’s a good idea to exchange some money at the airport money changers (but compare the rates), perhaps around 50, 100 or 200 Euros max (INR 4,500 to 18,000), to cover your taxi fare and initial expenses. You can consider exchanging the big money in Mandrem at better rates or even better on the Mapuca market.
