Affordable Beach Resorts

The Leela Goa, designed in a pink Indo-Portuguese palace, have everything that a beach resort must have: 75 acres of extraordinary palm trees, waterfalls, herb gardens, moats, spice and lagoons. Beneath a cluster of coconut trees on the beach, have a sip of Goa’s forte spirit called feni, extracted from cashew fruit. In the spa and health center, detoxify with an ayurvedic massage or just relax on the terrace of one of the 151 marble-clad rooms, clean room which are wonderfully surrounded by the the Arabian Sea and the river Sal.

The way to Galle can be frantic and faraway, but once you reached the Apa Villa Thalpe in Sri Lanka makes it worth all the hassle. The originator of Insight Guides, Hans Hoefer owns this beautiful place. Situated in three villas that have over looking view of the Indian Ocean, the six suites designed in Colonial-style, have canopy beds, pillow-covered banquettes and glossy concrete floors. The dramatic silver-blue pool and the swaying palm trees come between you and the view.

On the southerly coast of Indonesia, faraway from Bali’s trekking scenery lies the Puri Santrian. Inside, you will find classic-designed bungalow with wooden doors that are thoroughly carved, an open-air bathroom made of stone and natively built wood and rattan furniture. Additionally, you can stay in one of the bigger Club rooms that are paid per night in a reasonable price. Inside the rooms are marble bathrooms, four-poster beds, a breakfast of peculiar fruit juices and morning rice also known as nasi goreng and admission to the waterfall-fed resort pools. Although the beach is public, it is still not that crowded; not unless it is the casual hawker selling manicures.
