Mandrem is a coastal village famous as
a tourist spot in North Goa district
of Goa state
in India.[2] It is
21 km from the capital Panaji. It has two main beaches viz Junas and Ashvem. Vrundavan Hotel at
Madhalamaz is one of the famous bars and restaurants. At the junction there you
can see many shops close to the main road.
Mandrem is, for many, the best-kept secret on the north Goan
coast, as laid back and languid a destination as you could possibly hope for.
Yoga, meditation and ayurveda are the orders of the day, and you’ll find
ever-changing options for spiritually slanted exercise and enlightenment along
its sands. Head here for a day or two of beach-bound bliss, and you might find
it hard to tear yourself away. Most accommodation, dining and alternative
therapy options are ranged along the narrow beach-access road, or on the
sparkling sands themselves.

If you
looking for an adventure, you can walk along the beach-side from Arambol, even
if the walk is more like climbing due to the steep coastline and the difficult
terrain, so don't even think about doing it with you backpack on.
A mototaxi
from Arambol will cost Rs.100-200.
From the small village of Mandrem just walk towards the sea,
there is little chance that you will miss it.
There is a small Portugese fort
close to Mandrem, you will see it as soon as you walk out on the beach. Getting
there is quite easy, free service is operated every 30 minutes but the walk is
quite exhausting especially if its hot, but will give you the chance to see a
sleepy small vilage were tourists still are quite an attraction. The is an abdomned
school-building in the woods just shortly bevor entering the village, an almost
impassable small path lead there and these 5 minutes walk are really worth it.
The Fort is now turned into a High-Class hotel but the stuff dont mind if you
walk around and enjoy a beautiful view over Mandrem beach and Maharashtra in
the north.
Exept for
this, there is little to do than laze around at the beach or take a swim in the
surprisingly deep water.
Visit the beautiful deserted beach, just a few huts offering not-so-good
food, but the beach and sea are worth it.

good! They also have a restaurant if you cross the nearby river. Really good
food and drink.
Places To Sleep
A few guesthouses provide you with a bed in mandrem village, but rather
stay in Arambol and do a day trip because there is nothing really to do in Mandrem. But
if you are looking for some quiet time on a desert beach then try bargaining
because there are a few guesthouses but no one really to stay in them so you
migh get a better price.
