RELAXCEPTIONAL

Review of Coco Shambhala
5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 28 Oct 2022via mobile
There is only one word to express our stay at coco .
Relaxceptional .. 😄. It was one of our most relaxing and exceptional holiday. The villas are beautiful and views from the sitting area exceptional . We enjoyed a peaceful three nights with OUT IF THIS WORLD MASSAGES ( Thank u Harish and Shri ) . And yummmy food made to our liking . There wine selection is also great . We tried the two hour trek one morning which was good but got tiring because of the heat . The evening are great to relax at the beach and the day u can spend in the pool with your Villa . Raven is doing a great job managing the property and each and every staff member was wonderful . Best of luck team coco shambala , we will be back for more . 😊
One suggestion .. plz keep anti skid mats in the washroom and near the pool stairs , as the floor gets very slippery even when it’s dry . All four of us near falls .
Date of stay: October 2022
Room Tip: Take care in the washroom and near the pool . The floor tends to get slippery .
Trip type: Travelled as a couple

    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.

    This place is fantastic. We had been planning this holiday since 2020 but Covid happened. We were fortunate enough to visit it this year in June. We stayed at villa Varenya and it is a 180 degree view of the ocean not to mention, the best villa to enjoy the sea breeze as well. Their arrangements are immaculate. The food is a variety of spread for all the three meals and they are happy to make changes to it. The meals are served at the villa and there is no pressure of time adherence or having to go elsewhere for your meals making it a complete experience for relaxation. The views from the villa are breathtaking and unlike the popular notion that one must not visit during monsoon I have to recommend it highly, as the rains were such a refresher from the Delhi heat and the breeze was super cool making it absolutely comfortable and enjoyable. The staff is so well trained. My 13 year old had all the fun he could in the pool. They have a speaker so you can listen to your music. There is a pantry of stocked things so you don't have to bother to ask, I and my husband we literally switched off and had an unwinding vacation. A special thanks to Raven and Lumen for taking such good care of us. We will visit again!

    Whilst growing up in India in 70’s- 90’s, I used to spend my summer holidays at my grandparents place in Bhogwe. It was then a remote village and any tourist, specifically a foreigner, was a novelty for locals.

    My husband, who is British and I, have been to Bhogwe several times since 2009. We would discuss how beautiful the area is and wished that no big hotel chain would venture into this calm unspoiled place and ruin it with mega influx of tourists!!

    On this short visit to Bhogwe , we decided to stay at CoCo Shambala. It is a quiet oasis, in a tropical garden forest, overlooking peaceful coastline of Arabian Sea. Amazing wild bird song fills the air, and the infinity pool takes you even closer to the wildlife. There is plenty of space in the 2 bedroom chalets ( only 4 of which are on site, and hidden from view). The fridge is well stocked with wine, craft beers and chilled water. What can I say about culinary offerings? Just amazing seasonal local food, fresh seafood cooked just for you.

    The views were so amazing we didn’t even close our curtains, and just woke naturally to the sunrise and dawn chorus.

    Just be aware though, the staff will need to regularly attend the chalet ( there is no front door, just a privacy rope) to bring in fresh food, water, room servicing etc, which might not suit couples looking for privacy. However, staff ring a hand bell at the bottom of stairs before approaching your villa.

    That said, the staff are very friendly, and they take pride in the attention they give to make your stay perfect. Most of them are also from a local community.

    CoCo Shambala can provide a vehicle to collect you from the local airport ( 15 mins away), or even from the main airport in Goa, some two and a half hours drive away.

    In all, a much more enjoyable and interesting stay than our trip to the Maldives a few years ago, which it could be argued, aims to offer a similar experience.

    Room tip: Flight from Mumbai airport to Sindhudurg Airport is only one hour This is a calm destination and won’t suit party people

    Dear Swati,

    Thank you so much for your kind words !

    I understand that Bhogwe is really really special to you too as you have spent a lot of your childhood in this beautiful place.
    It gave us great joy in helping to make your holiday really special, although it was really a short stay. It gave us so much pleasure to see your smiles !

    We look forward to welcoming you back in the near future, this time for a longer stay !
