Calangute and Baga Beaches Hotels

Once a famed hippie hangout, Calangute is still popular for its beautiful beach. Calangute Beach, 15 km north of Panaji, is known as the Queen of Beaches. Visitors parasail, water ski, and windsurf during the day, then head to area restaurants for tasty local and international cuisine. The bars host a wide variety of music. The Kerkar Art Complex and St. Alex Church are also highlights here. Bordered on the north by Baga Creek, Baga Beach features vibrant nightlife, water sports, and beach shacks serving diverse eats to hungry visitors. While the resorts that have sprung up along both beaches make this a fairly high-traffic area, guests can still find pockets of calm in which to relax.
