Hotel Lua Nova  

In Baga’s lively coastal pocket, a short stroll or drive lands you at Baga Beach and Calangute Beach — minutes from the town’s markets, nightlife and beach shacks. The hotel sits near popular spots like Tito’s Lane, Baga Night Market and Anjuna, about a 40-minute drive from Dabolim Airport.

A small boutique resort with an antique vibe and classy, colorful décor that nods to Goan village life. Rooms come with private balconies, refrigerators, AC and TVs; many feature tucked-away double beds and eye-catching linens.

Dip into indoor and outdoor pools, relax in the garden or fire up a barbecue at the communal area. Enjoy complimentary wired and wireless internet, a library, tour/ticket assistance and a bar/lounge — perfect after a beach day when you want to wake up to sea-breeze mornings and local sunsets.

Services include a 24-hour front desk, complimentary newspapers in the lobby, laundry and dry cleaning, safe-deposit boxes, and an airport shuttle (available 24 hours for a surcharge). Free self parking is available onsite.

The on-site restaurant serves local Goan flavors and cooked-to-order breakfasts (for a fee); there’s also a bar/lounge, BBQ area and limited-hours room service to keep things easy after long days exploring the coast.
