I went to visit the property when I was last in goa in order to book the four tents for a group of friends for a year later. The property seemed rather nice, although pitched in a back lot on the side of the main road not on the beach. The really terrible experience was with the reservations office of... More

After staying in the two Amarya properties in Delhi last year (and loving them), I was so excited to try Shamiyana, and obviously had very high expectations. My sister and I were certainly not disappointed - and were in fact totally blown away. The beautiful smile and warm greeting we received from the lovely Evarista on arrival set the tone... More

We had a great stay at Amarya Shamiyana. We spent 4 nights in the Pink Tent in February, 2011. We spent 4 nights and found everything to be great. Very few power issues, big room, nice bathroom, great outdoor space, etc. I highly reccomend this property. The owner also runs a restaurant not too far from the tents... Il Capriccio.... More

We stayed at Amarya for 9 nights and it was amazing. Mathieu, Andrew, and all the team were really hospitable to make our stay as good as possible. It was very relaxing, easy, we just loved it all. The breakfast was fantastic (and made whatever time you woke up, so no rush) - we ate the indian and the english... More

I had very high expectations of this place before i arrived, and I certainly wasn't disappointed. After the initial problem of our driver finding the place (it is tucked away down a side road), we pulled up and received a very warm welcome by the manager. The tents (if you can call them that) are extremely luxurious, fitted with all... More

We escaped to Amarya from a hotel down the beach which had hugely disappointed us and at last found the oasis we were looking for. Everything about this place is beautifully thought out. Some of those we spoke to said, 'but it's just a tent, right?' and yes, it is a tent, but 'just' a tent? Far from it... It... More

I'm not a regular guest of TA but this time I just felt obliged to leave few lines about this experience. I spent few days at Amarya Shamiyana in December 2011 with my gf and we just loved it. Everything was great and our expectations were not only met but honestly saying they surpassed it totally. Fantastic atmosphere, superb service,... More

We arrived here from Patnem beach , spend 3 nights at this very friendly place by the attentive and extremely service minded Matthew and his staff ! Tents were in a quiet spot ( we never heard any noice from the carpark ) Restaurant down the road serves top food 5* and the beach in front is beautiful !

Having searched extensively for somewhere to stay in Goa, we found Amarya Shamiyana. Just what we wanted, having no desire to be in some faceless resort where we could be anywhere in the world. All looked good on their own website and also i-escape. We were not disappointed when we arrived. The tents were fantastic, private, big and clean with... More
