The Colonia Santa Maria doles out cottages just a stone’s skim away from Baga Beach and within walking distance of Calangute.Portuguese-Indian style reigns supreme at the Colonia Santa Marina, so whitewashed walls, terracotta roofs and patterned tiles are teamed with jewel-bright colours.The swimming pool at Colonia Santa Maria is a peaceful place to chill out.
It’s surrounded by a sun terrace that comes complete with sunbeds and parasols.
There are also some attractive gardens where you’ll find a plunge pool, too.
By night, the hotel lays on entertainment including quizzes and karaoke, weekly barbecue theme nights, and occasional live music.
