This has been our 4th trip to Coco Shambhala, Sindhudurg and every time it seems special, as the atmosphere, the setting, the view … is simply breathtaking. We spent 5 nights at the villa (this time our home away from home was Amaresha), and enjoyed our stay thoroughly. It was totally relaxing, a perfect getaway to unwind away from hustle-bustle of any kind. The villas are beautiful, well appointed and caters to almost every need that you would have at home, the view from the living space is honestly mesmerizing. You can perhaps sit in there the entire day, reading a book or listen to the music, as the nature unfolds in front of you. Need some variety - jump down into the infinity pool and with the mid-day sun hitting upon you, don’t miss out on sipping a cocktail on the pool side.
Beach is just a 100 meters walk, and during this time of the year is not too hot. We enjoyed the beach, the sea every day and the ever-friendly staff forever helps in setting up a comfy seating under an umbrella on the bridge, with some cool drinks to go.
Back at the villa, the dining was of the highest standard. We went for ala-carte this time around, and each day we tried out a different cuisine. For the kitchen staff, never a challenge to cook something you like to eat. Seafood was awesome, and so as the barbeque night we did.
Our focus has always been to relax and keep activities to the minimum, this time we tried the night safari hoping against hope that we bump against a lurking leopard. We didn’t see any, but did meet up a family of fox, and few other nocturnal birds. But the drive was enjoyable, something different than what we have done on our previous trips.
Coco Shambhala always excel, and the magic is in the friendly staff, who over the years have become more of friends. My 11-year old son enjoys helping in the kitchen, as well as engaging in a game of football on the beach every evening.
Honestly, we are so thrilled to be here that as we check-out and drive back to Goa airport we start making plans for our next trip.
So, thank you to entire Coco Shambhala crew – see you again next year. Until then, take care all of you and wish you the very best.
