Fodor's Expert Review Yab Yum Resorts

Mandrem, Goa, 403527, India

Thatched and dome-shape roofs are tucked away in a shaded grove of palm trees at this fun and funky property just minutes from lovely Ashwem Beach. Guests have the choice of five Goan-style homes or the space-age domes, each equipped with a king-size bed and bathroom. The hotel's eco-friendly mission is reflected in the use of locally available materials, such as lava rock, palm leaves, grass, and local clays and sand. Morning yoga classes and ayurvedic treatments make this a special, if offbeat, retreat.

PROS

  • quiet beach
  • choice of domes or cottages
