Note: there are also lots of accommodations all around the Himalayan Yoga Valley center (2-minute walk), it is countryside and often much cheaper than at the center or on the beach side.
Accommodations outside the center
It is just wonderful to stay on the long white sand beach of Mandrem (less than 10-minute walk from the training center). There are lots of hotels, airbnb, guests houses and plenty of private rooms available and for all kind of budgets. Search rooms all around these landmark: Dunes hotel (on the beach), or Himalayan Yoga Valley Center (countryside).
Although we advice you to stay in Mandrem nearby the center, you can also stay further south towards Ashwem and Morjim or further north towards Arambol. In both cases you will need to drive a motorbike, take a taxi or walk a very long way through. Anjuna beach is quite far and will require over 35-minute drive.
Many students choose to arrive on the spot and just ask around for a room that are managed directly by landlords…
If it give you a nice and safe feeling to book your stay in advance, or at least a few nights at arrival in a hotel, i will suggest you to search on Airbnb | Trip Advisor | Booking.com. By reading reviews and checking rating, you should get a nice picture about the place you will stay.
There are also locals agents managing a pool of apartments, flats, rooms and houses on Facebook pages. It is possible to get a place to stay by posting on their Facebook pages like: Goa Accommodation. As I don’t know them personally, I will suggest you to ask for recent pictures, and all questions you may have, like, and of course, the distance to “Himalayan Yoga Valley Center” by walk and by taxi.
