Accommodation: 

We offer a range of accommodation to suit your needs and budget. Let the sounds of the Arabian Sea wash over you at Palolem beach or relax on the shady veranda of a traditional Goan-Portugese home in Chandor village. Or split your time and get the best of both worlds. Whatever option you choose, you'll find the accommodation and hospitality second to none.

Palolem Beach :

If you think bamboo huts mean 'basic', think again. Wake up on the comfiest mattresses in Goa, watch the glorious sunset from your own personal veranda or grab a book from our well-stocked library and stretch out on a hammock.

Each of the huts at Ciaran's is unique and has been designed with respect for the beautiful natural surroundings. They all have mosquito nets, quiet fans, electricity and spotless private bathrooms with hot showers. Our most luxurious huts have rooftop sundecks and all have private views.

We also have two double rooms in our garden cottage. These rooms have air-conditioning and private bathrooms with hot showers.

We've tried to think of a better way to end a perfect day but so far, watching the sunset with an ice-cold beer keeps coming out tops. Our well-stocked bar has imported and local beers, wines and an irresistible cocktail list, as well as freshly-squeezed juices and other soft drinks. Snacks are available all day.
