When you stay at Hotel Maravilha, you get the best of both worlds— the peace of a heritage villa tucked into Assagao’s quiet lanes, and immediate access to the best of North Goa. Whether you’re here to relax or explore, everything you might want—beaches, food, nightlife—is within easy reach.

We’ve hosted families, couples, groups of friends, and solo travellers, and they all ask the same question: “What’s around here?”

Here’s our personal guide—places we love to recommend, all within 15–25 minutes of your stay at Maravilha.

Beaches That Fit Every Mood

Our guests often start their mornings with coffee by the pool, followed by a quick beach plan—and from Hotel Maravilha, you’re spoiled for options.

  • Vagator Beach (3 km) is just 8 minutes away and perfect for a relaxed start to your day. We often recommend it to guests who want space to walk, a few cliffside cafés to grab lunch, and minimal crowds.

 

  • Anjuna Beach (5.6 km) has more activity—great for guests who enjoy a mix of beach time and browsing stalls at the famous flea market. Many of our returning visitors like to end their day here with sunset drinks before heading back for a quiet dinner in our garden.

 

  • Baga Beach (8.3 km) is ideal if you’re looking for adventure—water sports, upbeat music, and lively shacks. After a morning swim or yoga session at Maravilha, it’s a great option if your day needs more energy.

 

  • Calangute Beach (9.9 km) is one we suggest for larger families or first-timers—it’s busy, yes, but also well-equipped, clean, and easy to navigate.

No matter which beach you choose, you can be back in time to wash off the sand, rest by the pool, or enjoy a quiet evening with your group—our entire villa is yours during your stay.

 

Food Worth Stepping Out For

Our in-house team is always happy to serve fresh breakfast and light meals, but Assagao is a food-lover’s haven—and we encourage guests to explore.

  • Gunpowder (1.4 km) is a consistent guest favourite. We often suggest it for your first evening out—great South Indian food, an open-air setting, and just five minutes from us.

 

  • Jamun (1.2 km) is perfect for a slightly upscale dinner. Many of our guests walk there and Uber back—easy, safe, and worth it.

 

  • Maai (1.3 km) feels like a natural extension of Maravilha—heritage architecture, calm lighting, and beautifully plated Goan and European dishes.

 

  • Thalassa (2.5 km) is a little further, but ideal if you’re looking for a complete night out—Greek food, sunset views, music, and dance performances. We can help with reservations and transport.

 

Nightlife, If You Want It

Our villa tends to attract travellers looking for quiet—but once in a while, you want to dance.

 

  • Soro – The Village Pub — Just 5 minutes from Maravilha, Soro offers live music, cocktails, and a chill vibe. Great for a quick night out without the late hours.

 

  • Club Cubana — A 15-minute drive takes you to Goa’s famous hilltop club. Bright lights, open-air dance floors, and big energy—perfect for party nights.

 

  • Tito’s Lane — Goa’s classic nightlife hub. Bars, music, and beachside buzz—all 20 minutes from Maravilha. Ideal for a full-on night out.

We’re always available to arrange drop-offs or help you plan your night so it ends in comfort back at Maravilha.

At Hotel Maravilha, we give you the space to do Goa your way—venture out, stay in, or balance both. And whatever you choose, our team is here to support it.

Let Goa flow from your doorstep.
