2026 Benaulim Travel Guide: must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transport & travel experiences (updated in February)

The hotel is located near the ocean, like everywhere in India. If you don't have your own access to a public beach, the route leads through uncleaned paths and parking lots. There's a shuttle to the ocean; we used it a couple of times. There's a large pool and a well-equipped gym. Breakfast is decent, but the protein options are limited. There are periodic activities for children. Great playrooms (for toddlers and for teenagers/adults). The staff is cordial! We lost items twice, but everything was found, checked, and returned. The rooms are nice, almost all of them have a terrace or balcony. The solution to the huge window in the bathroom isn't entirely clear, but it's ok. There's a spa; I used it a few times – it's standard. The town is a 15-20-minute walk away, or you can take a tuktuk. There's no hotel shuttle to town. It's the same distance to Sernobatim, a neighboring, less crowded beach.

#falladventures #naturalwonders many of the beaches in Goa have I visited but none of them were as much fun as Benaulim beach...soaking in the sun, walking on clean white sands, eating at wonderful restaurants and singing my heart out at the karaoke bars! But what melted my heart were the stray dogs: not enough to eat and yet so friendly. Truly I tell you: the most joyful moments one can get in life is feeding them something to eat and in return receiving the love from their eyes as they look up at you in gratitude... and now at the age of 70, i am following a new path. Goa is a magical and spiritual place and it was there that I received a calling....my purpose in life now is to open a shelter for these stray puppies, hundreds of them living in the gutters and streets without food…

One of the best hotels in Goa, the staff is excellent ... The ambience is quintessential...

About 40 minutes drive south from Goa Airport. There is also a fairfield in Anjuna, north of the airport, so you should tell the driver where Benaulim is. We didn't know there was one in Anjuna, and realized after driving about 30 minutes in the opposite direction, and wasted time and was charged, so be careful 😂 The hotel is sophisticated and clean. The room and shower room are not that big. There is a pool in the courtyard, which you can enjoy. Swimsuits are sold and towels are available for rental 🙆♀️ Men's swimsuits were R500. Breakfast is buffet style, and you can order food from the restaurant 24 hours a day. Honestly, the taste of everything was a bit strange. The fish & chips were deep fried, but the inside was raw 💧 The mushroom soup was delicious. This is my first time staying at Fairfield, so I don't know the average price in other countries, but I was able to stay there for about ¥14,000 🙆♀️ The staff were very polite and I had a pleasant stay. #fairfield #marriott #india #goa #beachresort

Anniversaries are personal moments where you need time with each other to sit down, relax and reminisce your journey as a couple. We took a trip along the South Goan coastlines to hop and spot the unhindered beach experiences. And we landed to #benaulimbeach that happens to be one of the many untouched paradises of the Goan coastline. Gentle waves, golden sunsets and soothing beach sand under your feet, makes it a worthy place to escape with your loved one. Getting There - self drive car, about 50 kms from Dabolim airport down south Attractions - beaches, shacks, palm trees, activities Hotels - Coastal Suites Apartments Benaulim

As we were traveling (budget friendly) thru Asia we often stayed in guest houses and BnBs. Local food is great, but sometimes we get to cook in the house/communal kitchen. We often make dal - Indian lentil soup - with lots of veggies added. Later, when we're eating out on the local economy, we compare tastes observing spices used, style of cooking, the different rices, sauces and grains. This adds to our understanding of local culture and presents a great opportunity to talk with all the friendly people. Coffee and donuts are OK too - once in a while. And oh yeah, puppies get snacks too! Pleasant Journey! #vegan #tripblazers #foodie #puppies

We've been to India numerous times. The experience impacts one every time - Taj Mahal, Rishikesh Yoga, Goa beaches. The old currency notes, though obsolete still hold value for the collector and for the memories. Rupees from 1 to 500 - even the old 1000 Rupees (replaced in 2016) - we rode the trains from Amritsar to Shimla to Jaipur and Jaisalmer - 2nd class sleeper as I recall for about 100 Rupees in the old days. Pleasant Journeys continue!#mytravelvlog #india #currency #rupees

Benaulim, located in South Goa, is a mesmerizing coastal town known for its pristine beaches. While staying at Fairfield Marriott, I had access to the stunning South Goa beaches. After enjoying the golden sands, indulge in delectable culinary experiences at the nearby restaurants, savoring authentic Goan cuisine. Back at Fairfield Marriott, the serene pool provides an ideal spot for book enthusiasts and writers seeking inspiration, offering a tranquil ambiance for reading and crafting manuscripts. On the poolside of Fairfield Marriott, under the perfect weather, I find myself immersed in writing. With unwavering focus, I have poured my thoughts onto paper, crafting a research paper that spans over 9000 words. The serene surroundings of the pool create an ideal setting, allowing my mind to delve deep into the complexities of eco hydraulics. Every word written is a step towards unraveling the mysteries of sustainable water systems, merging the realms of ecology and hydraulics. Here, amidst the comforting embrace of nature, my manuscript takes shape, driven by passion, purpose, and the desire to make a positive impact on our environment. #beachlife #goa #Benaulim
