So, you are looking for a hotel in Goa which right on the beach. You need comfort, privacy, fine dining and friendly and efficient staff. You prefer a hotel which has the backing of at least 20 years of hospitality experience. It should be a suitable getaway retreat for a couple. You want enough space and facilities for a family or a group of friends. Silver Sands Holiday Village sprawled over four acres of land, is guilty on all counts.

We are right on the beach with just our open-air palm fringed car park between you and the beach. Hard to imagine, but we are less than 100 metres to the beach. Stroll round the first sand dune and don’t forget to breathe deeply, because the sand, the surf and the sea takes your breath away.

We’re practically nudging the sand dunes, but though Silver Sands Holiday Village is tucked away from the crowds, we are still close to some of the world-famous hotspots. You can hit the nightclubs, do some street shopping, haggle at the night markets, browse through art galleries and sample eclectic food from different parts of the world.
