Luxury holidays in Sindhudurg

When to go

The best time to visit is from October to February, when the weather tends to be warm and dry. Things get hotter from March to May, and the monsoon usually arrives in June, lasting until September.

Getting there

• Planes

  Goa International Airport is currently closest, and can be reached directly from Delhi, Mumbai and Abu Dhabi. From there, it’s a three-hour drive to Sindhudurg. Flights should start touching down at the new Sindhudurg Chipi Airport in 2019; once they do, Chipi will be by far the best option.

• Trains

  The nearest station is Kudal, a 30-minute drive from the hotel. Unless you’re coming from one of the neighboring states, it’ll be a long journey – 10 hours from Mumbai, for example – so you’ll be better off flying.

• Automobiles

  Most visitors give driving a miss, opting to hire a car with a driver instead – the price difference between the two is often negligible.
