Vaayu Kula is a luxury home away from home. I have been fortunate enough to travel extensively and have been to many beach hotels - but Vaayu Kula is in a class of its own. Easily one of my top three holidays of all time.
The beach is never crowded, with sand as fine as icing sugar and a shallow shore that extends for miles. My three year old played confidently knowing the waves would never be too overwhelming. The little town surrounding Vaayu has cute independent stores, especially Shaanti boutique and Spa, and little eateries.
There are 9 rooms, all tastefully decorated in neutrals and gorgeous textures, with large stylish bathrooms. And they all have sea views. Our ocean room was closest to the beach with double aspect views. My parents had the sunset suite directly above us with an A frame high ceiling and a wrap around balcony and outside day bed. The perfect blend of luxury and homey!
The restaurant, Prana, has its own long standing reputation of being one of the best restaurants in North Goa with amazing vegetarian and vegan options too. Their croissant French toast for breakfast was to die for, especially the cashew cream!
My daughter and I had a joint birthday celebration in a secluded, raised mezzanine like outdoor setting where we got to feast on Chef Evan’s culinary delights whilst we watched the warm sunset. His team were so attentive and nothing was too much for them.
In fact, the best thing about Vaayu Kula is the staff who run it. Sanjay gave up his birthday to cater at ours, and happily. Among had a smile waiting for us every morning and was brilliant with my daughter. Nitika and Rashmi at the front desk were always happy to help with recommendations and welcoming us back everyday after our trips out (there are so many more to name). And lastly, Abhishek is the exemplary manager of Vaayu Kula. He is always seen getting stuck in, rather than hidden in an office. He has a warmth and curiosity that has no doubt helped Vaayu kula flourish and his staff supported and happy.
I’m not one to return to a holiday spot, as I feel the world has so many new treats to offer. However, I will be returning to Vaayu.
Honestly, don’t give it a second thought, go ahead and book this place!
