Rio Boutique  

Tucked in Verem on Goa’s north coast, this boutique hotel sits near the beach yet away from the busiest tourist drag. It’s within a 15-minute drive of Candolim Beach and the Mandovi River, about 4.5 miles from Calangute and 6.6 miles from Baga, and roughly 1.5 km from the Deltin Casino Deck. Miramar Beach, Fort Aguada and Sinquerim are also close by.

A compact property with 35 guestrooms, Rio Boutique feels like a quiet Portuguese-era hideaway in a city-center pocket. Rooms offer city views from the window and simple ensuite showers; the hotel is accessible by elevator and kept low-key and contemporary.

Take a dip in the outdoor pool, sip at the poolside bar or unwind in the bar/lounge after a beach day. There’s 24-hour front desk service, complimentary Wi‑Fi, free self-parking and limited room service. The setting makes it easy to catch coastal sea breezes on mornings or evenings.

Event-ready with a ballroom and about 1,876 sq ft (174 sq m) of conference space, plus free on-site parking and elevator access for attendees.

On-site Aagor - Taste of Goa serves regional flavors and local Goan dishes, with a continental breakfast offered daily (7–9 AM) for a fee. Grab a drink at the bar or order in during room-service hours.
