Spas and Resorts in Goa

Resort Living in Goa

Blessed with miles upon miles of golden beaches, warm sunny weather, and a casual laidback charm, Goa is dotted with numerous resorts, each vying with the other to offer medical tourism guests an enchanting holiday experience.  From imaginative 11-room refuges tucked away atop tree covered hillsides to sprawling 75-acre luxury properties, these resorts offer privacy, seclusion, and a calming vacation experience away from the music and dance rigmarole going on in the rest of Goa.  There are resorts here to suit every kind of medical tourism traveler – from eco-friendly bamboo cottages that include cozy cooking lessons and art classes, to elegant Moorish-themed properties that cater to a more sophisticated clientele.  With luxuries that include lush gardens, tropical pools, international buffets, and some of the best spas in Asia, you won’t exactly be floundering in the wilderness with nothing to do.  In fact, many consider Goan spas to be the most luxurious in the country.   

Spas in Goa

Your best bet for a rejuvenating or recuperative medical tourism holiday would be one of the five-star resorts here. On offer are a range of massages from Balinese to Swedish, Indian Ayurvedic therapies, yoga classes, and meditation rooms.  The selection of native and international treatments is so extensive that you’ll have difficulty fitting in everything unless you plan to stick around for several weeks (which can become quite expensive).  A Javanese massage one day, maybe a third eye treatment the next, and a fruit facial the third…and so on.  With India’s inexhaustible supply of health therapies and beauty giving ingredients – expect your massage oils to smell of incense, amla berries, and sandalwood – you’ll be massaged into jelly before you run out of therapies here.   

Most of these resorts are situated amidst acres of greenery which means lots of space to walk about before returning for a refreshing rubdown and a plunge into the blue seas to complete the experience. More basic Ayurvedic centers are available too, and these offer purely Ayurvedic no-frills therapies at substantially lower rates.  With names like “blood letting,” “emetics,” and “laxatives”, don’t expect a pampering spa experience - these centers are manned by well-built die-hard Ayurvedic practitioners who religiously adhere to traditional panchakarma treatment procedures for good health.
