We have just spent an amazing week at Coco Shambhala, and it was one of the most relaxing resort stays I have ever had. A quiet corner of India to recharge tje batteries. Short walk to the beach, when i could tear myself away from the villa pool with the amazing ocean views. And the food! Super tasty, and so much ( have definitely put on a few extra pounds!!). Would recommend this property to anyone, and will definitely be back next time I am in India.
Our stay at Coco Shambhala was truly unforgettable. The hospitality was warm, attentive and so personal — it genuinely felt like being tucked away on a small, beautiful island. But the real star was the food. Every meal showcased different cuisines crafted with fresh, local produce, and somehow each dish was better than the last.
So we had Coco Shamballa in our bucket list for quite some time.. and we had seen numerous images of the Villas on instagram and even more images of Delectable Food ! .. so we thought we knew what to expect...... but what we got back from this break.. was beyond expectations... Yes the Villa Is beautiful.. but you truly have to experience its tropical vibe ....
Coco Shambhala feels like coming home to your family without knowing it before. The warmth, hospitality, and overall atmosphere of Coco Shambhala outranges our expectations completely. Their professionalism and attention to detail will make our vacation unforgettable. It was a truly exceptional experience and we will keep it in our heard forever. We hope to come back one day.
Coco Shambhala is the ultimate in luxury escape. When the hotel cab brought us from the MOPA airport and stopped in front of the resort entrance, I was wondering if the cab brought us to the right place. There were several people waiting to welcome us to Coco Shambhala.
This place is like a slice of heaven. We had a magical three nights here. Our villa overlooked the Arabian Sea and greenery all around. The private infinity pool added the perfect touch of privacy. The staff was incredibly warm. We were pampered and cared for with every little detail taken care of meticulously. I would give it a seven-star rating if I could.
the best best experience as always at CocoShambala!! We have had the best time. Truly. Suhas, Rewant and the team were exceptional. Always so so so mindful of our needs. The food was honestly the highlight Highly recommend it!!!
Absolutely loved my stay here! From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel so welcome and taken care of. The food was nothing short of incredible—each meal was a chef’s kiss, bursting with flavor and beautifully presented.
Visited this property in August 2022 One of the best I ever visited. Location at its best but during monsoon(when I visited) they put glass door panels in the open area near swimming pool. Food is their USP but they have menu for two nights only after that they ask you. So optimum stay is for two nights that means.
I spent my birthday at Coco Shambhala in Maharashtra with my husband, and it was honestly one of the calmest, most peaceful holidays we’ve ever taken. The setting was stunning. The villa is tucked away in nature and the monsoon added a lush feel to everything.
Just back from a truly relaxing and rejuvenating stay at Coco Shambhala. Great villa, super yummy food and lovely menus, and don't miss the monsoon waterfall experience!
Our stay at coco shambala bhogwe beach during the monsoon was pure magic. The rhythmic rain, crashing waves, and misty mornings created the perfect backdrop for a romantic getaway. We spent hours watching the rain dance over the sea, and splashing around in the infinity pool . The air was fresh, and every moment felt slow beautiful and unforgettable — a monsoon memory we’ll cherish forever.
We recently celebrated our daughter’s birthday at Coco Shambhala Sindhudurg, and it’s hard to put into words just how magical the entire experience was. From the moment we arrived, the team made us feel like family warm, thoughtful, and genuinely invested in making the occasion special. They went above and beyond in every possible way.
Our recent stay at Coco Shambhala was pure bliss. Big thank you to the beautiful people who make CS so so special.Lumen, Suhas, Revan, superstars of villa Amareesh Dinesh, Emmanuel and Deepak, Meghraj, Omkar, Suraj , the super efficient housekeeping staff, the fabulous chefs and everyone behind the scenes.
The stay was perfect. From the room temp to wardrobes, wardrobes, loo - clean neat. Amazing. The drawing / lunch room with the best view ever was another amazing setting Cannot say how fabulous the food was. Home style made by your fav home cook - type of meals. Not oily or too spicy. Fresh ingredients.
We had a unique experience of 2 days stay with our family of 8 in 2 villas. Tranquil, designer menu of choice with Malvani flavour, exclusive Pool for each villa with all rooms balconies giving the clear view of the beach and sea. Wow experience not to miss. Very courteous staff that attended to your needs to the minutest detail. We had a package deal of even pickup & drop from Goa Airport. A relaxed experience with our extended family. Flora and fauna and the bird visitors and a few Monkeys too were the highlights.
All the reviews are true! This really is a special, one of a kind place. The villas are beautiful; luxurious but homely. We stayed in 2 (Varenya and Arka) and liked them both. The food is some of the best we have ever eaten, a mixture of local specialities and some international food. The staff are all lovely and the service is friendly and efficient without being overly fussy. We spent most days relaxing by the pool but there are lots of activities if you want them; we went paragliding and on a trip to a private beach, seeing lots of dolphins on the way. You can see lots of beautiful birds and the odd monkey from your villa.
We felt utterly pampered from the moment we arrived. The CS Team are so efficient, cheery, polite, and made the trip so relaxing and interesting with their knowledge of everything local and more. It was so mpressive that the team worked so well together. Kudos to you all. The food........nutritious, tasty, varied.

Our family stayed at coco shambala as our first stop on a two week trip to India and it was a fantastic way to kick off the trip. The property is lovely and peaceful with an attentive staff and amazing food. It is a haven and perfect for anyone seeking privacy, peace and quiet. We didn’t interact with anyone other than the staff while there, which was perfect as we recovered from jet lag. Our kids (ages 10 and 8) loved the nearby beach which we had almost completely to ourselves. When we mentioned we would spend the day there the staff brought down some umbrellas and mats/towels and even a few boogie boards which the kids loved. We were only there two days but wished it was longer!
Probably one of the best places you can ever stay . The whole experience is wonderful and it is so nice to be able to see a real part of India not spoiled (yet) by over development . The food is superb and you feel like you are experienced masterchef quality all the time during your stay . Nothing is too much for Suhas and the rest of the team
