Who doesn’t like peace and tranquillity, and when it is in a picturesque place like Goa, isn’t it an added bonus? Check out these tranquil Goa Resorts, whose calmness and serenity will leave you wanting for more.

Lemon Tree Amarante Beach Resort

Though located 250 meters from Candolim beach and in close proximity to the happening Calangute and Baga beaches, this Goa resort is hidden away amid lush greenery and calm water bodies. Decked in tile work, medieval oil paintings, artefacts and stained glasses, this resort proudly claims to evoke poetry, romance and history of the 15^th century Portugal. Ask for one of the heritage rooms and you will find yourself housed in a century old Portuguese mansion whose old glory has been retained with much love and care. What’s more, the resort opens into a sparsely-crowded and cleaner part of the Candolim beach, away from the main entrance, thus giving you an experience of a private beach.
