The staff was especially accommodating when we first arrived. They helped to arrange transportation from the airport and gave us a wonderful tour of the entire facility. We enjoyed the massages and the yoga class. The facility is wonderfully relaxing and beautifully maintained. The only disappointing part was our departure. We had an early flight so we arranged to have someone help us with our luggage so we could check out early. When they didn't show I went to the reception desk to checkout and get help with the luggage. The person there could help me with our luggage but they couldn't check us out. I would still recommend this place and would come again!

Very relaxing place for some wellness/yoga on a beautiful stretch of beach. A work in progress with some ongoing renovations and developments, but didn’t take away from the experience. Lovely and friendly staff, and fantastic yoga instructors. Will definitely be returning!

Our stay at Nalanda Retreat was truly peaceful and relaxing. The Hillside Heritage rooms are spacious, clean, and beautifully designed with a warm natural touch. The rooms have comfortable beds, private balconies, and everything you need for a comfortable stay. It feels calm and quiet, surrounded by greenery — perfect for rest and reflection. The resort itself is very well maintained and has a beautiful energy. The staff are always kind, helpful, and ready to assist with a smile. The food is fresh, healthy, and delicious, with many options for all tastes. The yoga shalas, spa, and beachside restaurant make Nalanda a perfect place for both relaxation and rejuvenation. Everything is organized with care and attention. Overall, Nalanda Retreat offers a wonderful experience — peaceful, clean, and full of warmth. Highly recommended for anyone looking to relax, recharge, and enjoy a beautiful stay in Goa.
