A. We are positive that the travel industry will rebound and when it does we want to ensure that your safety, comfort, and well-being are our top priorities. Although we have been under lockdown, we have not been complacent but working tirelessly on our COVID-19 Preventative Plan to ensure our villas and resort are safe for all our guests, staff and family. These are some of the measures we have put in place to protect our family run business:

During the lockdown:

  • During the lockdown we have deep cleaned all our guest rooms, garden, common areas and swimming pool to ensure the highest of cleanliness.
  • We have done essential maintenance such as painting the properties and checking that equipment is in excellent condition and performed pest control. It is important to us to keep our villas and resort in great shape and operating smoothly so when this unprecedented times ends, we will be ready to welcome you.

Post lockdown:

  • As COVID-19 travel bans and restrictions start to lift, we know you are planning your next trip to Goa and realise that your needs have evolved. Cleanliness has always been our top priority but our cleaning protocol has been taken up a notch or two.
  • We have enhanced our cleaning methods by adopted a daily 2-step approach to the cleaning of high touch surfaces such as floors, bed posts, tables, hard-backed chairs, doorknobs, handrails, light switches, remotes, wardrobe and cabinet handles, desks, toilets, sinks, bedside tables, kitchen and bathroom surfaces. The 1st step is to CLEAN the area by removing any visible dirt, and then the 2nd step is to DISINFECT the area with cleaning products.
  • The rooms and common areas are cleaned daily and sanitized using dettol.
  • We air and ventilate each room after cleaning.
  • We have not only followed industry guidelines for cleaning our holiday homes but taken extra precaution. Extra staff hygiene practices are being implemented. All our staff wears face masks and instructed to wash their hands thoroughly with soap for at least 20 seconds at several internals throughout the day.
  • The staff’s temperature is checked daily using a contactless thermometer and any signs of a COVID-19 are monitored.
  • We have instructed our staff to maintain social distancing of a minimum of 1.5m.
  • We have kept hand sanitizers at all entry points of the property.
  • Additional cleaning products available in guest’s rooms, with dettol sprays kept in each bathroom.
  • In order to limit interactions during your holiday, the same supervisor will check you in and out of the property. We are recommending that all paper work such as IDS and C forms are submitted online prior to check in. Although the World Health Organisation (WHO) states that there is no evidence to suggest that the virus can be spread via bank notes or coins but we suggest that all rental payments should be cleared online before check in for contactless service optimization.
  • Housekeeping is done daily; we will ensure that you have the same housekeeper throughout your stay to limit the number of people that you come into contact with. Alternatively, you can opt out of housekeeping.
  • Towels, linens and other items that go in the laundry – Our laundry service has been instructed to wash items using the hottest setting and dry items completely.
  • All our properties have a fully stocked first aid kit. Encase of emergencies the phone numbers and addresses of nearby hospitals and health care centres are mentioned in the Property Handbook so you know help is nearby if you need it.
  • At the resort, we have adopted a plated breakfast rather than a buffet to avoid communal serving utensils. Lunch and dinner are a-la-carte.
  • At the villas, of course they are self catered so you can prepare your own food or order in from the local takeaways so no need to sit in crowded restaurants unless you wish to.
  • In short, the best protection is to be SAFE, be SMART and be KIND.
A. NO. Govt Guideline are subject to changes every month.
A. This is done for your own safety.

The World Health Organisation recommended chlorination level of 15mg.min/litre is sufficient to kill non-enveloped viruses such as poliovirus, rotavirus and coxsackievirus, and an enveloped virus such as Covid-19 would be inactivated at even lower levels, the document says.

Hotel or Villa in Goa?
Holiday makers are looking for different and flexible holidays. Peace, quiet and relaxation are priceless commodities, especially on your Goa getaway. When you want to completely relax and get far away from the crowds there’s really only one choice, a private holiday villa. With no noisy neighbours, holiday reps or room service to contend with, relaxation is total and your options unlimited.

In comparison, the all-inclusive resorts can be noisy and impersonal. Some hotels are very limiting and crowded. Holiday villas on the other hand offer flexibility, a better lifestyle, and value for money and more enjoyable holidays.

Imagine a family of four, two adults and two children, staying together in a hotel room. Two double beds with little room between them, a small balcony and just one bathroom. Sounds like a relaxing holiday? Now imagine the same family staying in a villa with a private pool, with two, three or four bedrooms, a full kitchen, separate private bathrooms, large living areas, balconies and terraces. It’s a home away from home with all the comforts you’d expect – and all the elements for a relaxing holiday.

The increasing popularity of low cost airlines has enabled flights to become cheaper than ever, making holiday villa rentals a popular and practical alternative to package holidays. Below are some of the advantages of renting a holiday villa with a private swimming pool:

Top reasons to rent a holiday villa rather than stay in a hotel room
  • A holiday villa is much larger than a hotel room. We have 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 or 9 bedrooms villa’s with separate rooms. A living room and dining room provides a space to share and space to be yourself, this all adds up to a relaxing holiday.
  • Holiday villas are cheaper considering the space and amenities available so holiday villas offer great value for money.
  • We provide a fully equipped kitchen which is considerably cheaper than eating out. Don’t fancy cooking? At Villa Calangute you have the freedom to order takeaway meals to enjoy at your leisure. The villa’s information books usually list all the local choices. Calangute many great takeaways where you can enjoy local dishes, salads and great value wine in minutes! Alternatively you can ask the housekeeper to help you with cooking for an additional cost.
  • A holiday villa gives you the freedom to make your own choices about flights, car hire and travel insurance. Shop around for the best deals and choose the most convenient flight times. Value, choice and comfort are yours when you stay in a holiday villa.
  • Holiday villas are more private. No scrambling for sun loungers or sharing a pool with others. Enjoy the private pool in complete privacy. Sleep at any time of day or night without being disturbed by other guests passing your hotel door. Enjoy the freedom to do as you please without disturbing anyone else.
  • Holiday villas will have the conveniences to make your holiday special and relaxing. Villa Calangute’s villas include Satellite TV, air-conditioning, beautiful gardens, private swimming pool (Phase 5 and Phase 10) and internet access. Combine that with housekeeping and extra third party services to get you started. Plus the space, freedom and flexibility one can only get in a holiday home.
  • Holiday villas are a very suitable and practical accommodations choice for families, friends, reunions, small parties, small conferences, destination weddings and long term holidays and generally for any group of people who want to stay together during their holidays. A holiday villa can make a great reunion meeting place for family and friends who live in different parts of the world.
  • A holiday villa is perfect for young children as eating out regularly can be difficult and costly with young children. In a holiday villa one has the best of both worlds.
  • Holiday villas are family friendly and young children can play safely. Some villas have baby cots, highchairs, games and many other items for a family friendly holiday in a private villa.
