Praia Da Oura - Boutique Resort

We were recently caught up in the Indian lockdown while staying at the Praia Da Oura in Majorda. We cannot praise the owner Alex and his wonderful staff highly enough for their friendship and hospitality during a difficult time and were made to feel like part of the family. Although only on a B & B basis Alex and his staff supplied us with lovely evening meals during a time when all bars and restaurants were closed. We hope to return next year when hopefully everything is back to normal. This hotel is the best in Majorda with spacious, well furnished rooms and a great pool and is ideally situated, being about 10 minutes walk to Majorda Beach and the beach shacks and the same to Majorda village with it's shops and restaurants. All rooms have balconies with good views towards the beach and over the local fields and countryside and is great if you are a keen birdwatcher.

our second time at this fantastic relaxing hotel. the hotel is situated about 300 metres from majorda's fantastic beach the owner alexi and his steff are very accomodating and deal with any thing you need promply and efficiently the rooms are spacious and well designed.big balcony, and the best showers and bathrooms in goa hotel also has a fantastic pool for me the best hotel i stayed in southen Goa

During our stay in India, we have spent a weekend in Praia Da Oura. I recommend a place, great hospitality and service. Beach was beautiful, great for tourist from US and EU :) Hotel offers a huge pool, rooms were nice and clean.

We wanted to spend a few days at a resort in South Goa with good beach access. Praia da Oura was the perfect place. The owner, Alex of and his wife Maria welcomed us and ensured that we had all that we wanted. Diana and Basil served us a homely breakfast of fresh fruit juice, cut fruit from the trees grown on the property and eggs with hot goan pao. All residents seem to know each other and it felt like a family. The rooms are large, air conditioned and well appointed. Beds and pillows were comfortable and all windows looked out to the beach or to endless fields of paddy and coconut palms. Great value for money at Praia da Oura too.

The staff are absolutely the crown jewel of this boutique hotel. Their warm welcome will put a smile on your face, even if you did just come in on the 2:45 AM Qatar Airways flight. A special call out must go the husband and wife team of Dianah and Basil. Between them they will not only make sure you enjoy meals made with the finest ingredients the area has to offer (often from the hotel grounds itself), they will share their knowledge and wisdom that can be learnt only by growing up in the area. The next thing you will notice is sparkling blue, enormous pool. Aleixo, the owner, is proud to point out that the filtration system was installed by a retired German engineer and assures me that there is no cleaner water to be found in any other pool in Goa. During high season the pool area is sure to be a hit with the guests. The rooms themselves are huge and come complete with a tea/coffee making station and mini fridge. The combination of an overhead fan, air conditioning and comfy bedding make for a comfortable nights rest. Most rooms have a balcony facing the sea offering vistas of sunsets that belong on postcards. The breakfast at the poolside are authentically local dishes created by a young and talented chef, know simply as Chef. For a treat, take a short stroll (ten minutes max) to the nearby Pentagon Restaurant to enjoy some really delicious curries under the stars. After 7:30 PM there is light, live entertainment. Overall, a great place to use as a base for your Goa travels, or for the more adventurous a fantastic way to ease into the local way of life before heading north into the less laid back definitely more hectic India.
