Blu Resorts is located at H. No. 1570, Survey No. 423/4, Grand Chivar (Vagator), Goa 403509.
-
It is about 2 km from Vagator Beach, making it fairly close to the sea while being set in a quieter, green environment.
-
Spread over approximately 1.5 acres and described as “lush greenery” with Mediterranean-style architecture and gardens.
-
The overall ambiance: a boutique resort feel, with white-and-blue Mediterranean theme cottages, green lawns, trees and space to unwind.
Accommodation & Atmosphere
-
The resort offers about 37 cottages/rooms arranged in categories: Blu Fern, Blu Rock, Blu Water.
-
Many rooms are designed with an outdoor sitting space / backyard & open-air bathrooms (especially in the “Fern” style). For example:
“Among them, 25 of them come with backyards and open air bathrooms — something that truly makes a world of a difference.” Interiors follow Mediterranean stylings: soothing white + blue palette, nature-inspired touches, and tropical green surroundings.
-
The atmosphere is pitched more toward a relaxing, nature-infused escape rather than a full-on party resort. There is a calm, boutique vibe, suitable for couples/families and creative travellers.
-
Guests’ remarks: Many praised the spacious rooms, greenery, the pool/lawn area, and warm staff service.
-
That said, some reviews caution that rooms with open-air bathrooms may not suit everyone (bugs/lizards/night visibility) and that maintenance in some sections may vary.
Facilities & Services
-
Swimming pool & sun lounge: The resort features a pool (plus presumably a children’s or smaller pool) and sun-lounging spaces.
-

Free WiFi, free parking, air-conditioning in rooms etc. Standard amenities indicated. Kids/Family friendly features: Lawn areas, green spaces; one review mentions “family- and couple-friendly”. Proximity to beach & local attractions: Being close to Vagator means access to the beach, local restaurants, shacks, and the scenic natural and nightlife elements of North Goa.
Dining & Food
-
Breakfast is included in many bookings and the restaurant serves a mix of cuisines. The reviews mention good breakfast spreads.
-
Food/restaurant gets positive mentions: e.g., “The food was brilliant… buffet has many varieties” from a guest review.
-
Caveats: Some reviews claim that outside meal quality (for example rooms with open bathrooms; or service issues) may fall short of expectations. Tripadvisor

Ideal For & Not Ideal For
Ideal for:
-
Couples seeking a somewhat stylish, peaceful stay near the beach in North Goa.
-
Families wanting green space, a pool, good value and beach access.
-
Travellers who appreciate design, character and boutique-resort atmosphere rather than big-chain luxury.
-
Creative travellers (artists, writers) or those wanting a calmer base but still near North Goa’s beaches/scene.
Not ideal for:
-
Guests wanting full luxury, premium resort features (e.g., private beach frontage, huge spa, all-inclusive high-end luxury).
-
Those looking for heavy party/club scene directly within resort — though you’re near Vagator, the resort itself is calmer.
-
Guests who dislike open bathroom concepts, outdoor/backyard bathrooms, or who prefer totally secluded indoor bathrooms.
-
Those expecting pristine “new-luxury” condition in every room option — some reviews indicate variation in room maintenance.
Tips for Your Stay
-
Room selection: If you’d prefer a standard indoor bathroom, check which room category avoids open-air/backyard bathrooms. Ask at booking.
-
Check room condition early: On arrival check floorboards, bathroom fittings, outdoor/backyard condition (if you choose one). If anything feels sub-par, request alternate.
-
Beach access: Walk or have a quick scooter/car ride to Vagator beach; if you want beach-front priority travel earlier in the day for best sun/shadow.
-
Meals off-site: While the on-site restaurant is good, North Goa has many excellent beach shacks, cafes, and local Goan eateries worth exploring.
-
Transport: If you plan to explore beyond Vagator (Anjuna, Baga, Calangute) a rented scooter or car will make sense — parking is available on-site.
-
Evening ambiance: If you stay in rooms with backyards/open patios, remember that stray dogs/lawn noise may enter the space (per some reviews) — if that’s a concern pick a room without backyard.
-
Peak season booking: North Goa fills up fast in peak season (December / New Year) so booking early is wise; check for “Genius” or discount deals on booking platforms.
-
Pool/relax time: Use the lawn/pool area for some downtime; if you want sun-lounging or garden time mid-day it’s a good feature of this resort.
