Say yes to yachting

Escape to north Goa and take a yacht out to sea

If you are planning a quiet retreat to the serene beaches of North Goa to escape the hustle of Bangalore, the 360 Beach Resort in Candolim beach in Goa may be the perfect location.

The resort is managed by the proprietors of the famous 32nd milestone hotel on NH-8 in Gurgaon.

The luxury resort boasts of a gymnasium, a well-equipped spa, and pools.

The group plans to set up similar resorts on Calangute and Bagga beaches also.

The season tariffs at the resort, by Goa’s standards, are reasonable, ranging from Rs. 8, 000 to Rs. 10,000 for a room with a seaside view. The resort also boasts a Goanese shack ‘Sunny Side Up’.

Catch Lady M

The USP of the resort is the yacht, Lady M and procured by the group for a sum of Rs five crore.

The yacht is anchored in the Mandovi River during the monsoon months.

The owners claim that the yacht is the only one rented out to patrons.

The yacht can hold up to 50 people, but due to safety reasons, only 22 people are allowed on a trip. A ride on the yacht costs nearly Rs. 20,000 for an hour-long ride and a lakh to rent it out for a day.

The yacht can travel at a speed of 20 knots per hour.

It also contains three off-shore bedrooms and is equipped with a state-of-the-art music system.

The owner of the group, Anubav Sharma says the resort has special packages with discounts and other benefits for summer.

So, for those of you with a sense of adventure and fun, take time-out and head out to sun-soaked beaches of North Goa.
