Beleza by the Beach

Goa for a multitude of travelers is about beach action, great food, gallons of alcohol and round-the-clock partying. During peak holiday season, one can spot plenty of such revelers ­ flocking the coastal belt in the North, spilling out of the various resorts, restaurants and nightclubs that dot the area. For some others though, Goa is the place to unwind, introspect, bond with close friends and family, laze in a pool and have a great private time. If you are one of the latter, try and spend a few days at Beleza by the Beach, a homely resort in Betalbatim, South Goa! Beleza in Portuguese means ‘Beautiful’ true in every sense for this property that Delhi-based Bhavna Talwar and her mother have lovingly yet painstakingly created. With no background in the hospitality industry duly compensated with personal attention and common sense, Beleza by the Beach is meticulous in its details. Each of the ten villas has three spacious independently available rooms that are stylishly contemporary and comfortable. Bhavna and her team take special care to ensure the living experience for guests is unique. “The sheer size and sense of space that our rooms give create a wow feeling to our guests as they enter. The bathrooms are also large and balconies over look the pool or paddy  fields. We are always thinking of ways to make the rooms even more comfortable and luxurious for our guest by adding small features like colorful foot mats, small lucky bamboo in bright color vases and quality toiletries”, she says. A nice place indeed to sit back with a book and sip on a lazy drink before hitting the pool! The menu at Tentacao, the all-day diner by the poolside, is diverse, the seafood fresh and the dishes enjoyable to say the least. For those of you who prefer listening to the waves crash while you sip and nibble, there is also the option of Nazare, a nicely done up beach shack accessible by a pave way within the resort premises. If not for the food, it is worth taking the walk to the beach to experience the beauty and the tranquility that Beleza has on offer. A massive private orchard right next to the beach is open to guests for a walking tour on select days of the week. Mangoes, figs, star fruits, sapodillas (chiku) and a thousand other trees in full bloom make this well manicured orchard a must-do whilst staying at the resort. With the additional options of a spa, a gym, a table tennis board and plenty of coves and corners to simply explore within the property, this is one place you wouldn’t want to leave in a hurry. So next time you plan some quiet romantic time off, a college reunion, an office get-together or a family bonding holiday, opt for a short stay at Beleza by the Beach. Somehow the villas exude the feeling of home away from home and when you get that feeling in Goa, there can be no complaints for sure.
