Benaulim sits just south of Colva on the Salcete coast. It has a calmer feel than its busier neighbour, with fishing boats on the sand, family-run guesthouses, and a mix of smaller hotels and larger resorts. It is a good choice for travellers who want a quiet beach with Margao and Colva close at hand.
Where in Benaulim are you staying?
Benaulim spreads from the village centre towards the beach, and the coast road continues south towards Varca, Cavelossim and Mobor, where several large resorts are located. Because the area is spread out, please share:
- The exact hotel or resort name
- Whether it is in Benaulim village, on the beach road, or further south towards Varca
- A map pin for villas and guesthouses
