The villas are pretty epic. As is the pool, the jacuzzi, the service, and the breakfast. We were a bunch of very noisy and demanding girls, but the staff took really good care of us. What I loved was that each villa was ensconced in greenery and pretty private... even though all 4 are built around one common pool. What... More

Coco Shambhala has four separate luxurious villas, each different, each with bedrooms on the ground floor and an open pavilion providing a large living area and kitchen upstairs which is cooler and has superb views.

After reading all the reviews, I was really excited about this place but the cynic in me felt maybe it was too good to be true. Sorry for the cynicism, all is really as fabulous as it sounds from the welcome through to the sad departure! Giles and his amazing team really do want you to have the best time... More

When a place gets rave reviews it is so easy to get overexcited and I was a bit concerned that we would be disappointed... I need not have worried. The villas are fabulous. The communal pool is wonderful and one can always find sun or shade in or out of the water. However, the thing that makes the difference here... More

Coco Shambhala had the daunting task (without them knowing) of hosting a group of people from the travel industry - a couple of CEO's, a few researchers and the worst of all a hotel curator with two kids. But they shone through! We were on holiday but the travel critic in us never leaves us and there really isn't anything... More

It was my first trip to Goa in 3 years, and we booked 2 villas for a group of 10 at Coco Shambhala with friends and family. The moment you enter Coco Shambhala, you are transported to a peaceful, serene and outrightly gorgeous place, with lots of greenery and birds chirping throughout the day. The team at Coco Shambhala is... More
