With pristine beaches, crystal clear waters, dazzling white sands and echoing lush greenery, Goa never fails to captivate us. No wonder, it is one of the favourite beach destinations of most of us. And guess what, our CEO, Kamiya Jani, received a free stay in one of the most stunning properties in Goa, thanks to the membership programme of Sterling Holidays. With this membership programme, one can stay across 40 Sterling properties across India for the next 25 years at today’s prices. Yes, you heard that right. And you can also avail a free stay for 2 nights and 3 days at any of these properties by simply sitting through a 45-minute preview of their membership. Here’s Kamiya Jani, narrating the mind-boggling experience of her stay at Sterling Goa Varca.
Sterling Goa Varca Resides In The ‘Soul Of Goa’
My love for Goa is known to all and there’s a reason I keep coming back here. This time, I chose Sterling Goa Varca and they are offering me a free stay. They promised me that this holiday will not be like anything I had seen or experienced before – it’s a preview to their 25-year membership. Located 700 meters away from Varca beach and very close to ‘Our Lady of Gloria Church’ built in the 1700s, this property resides in the ‘Soul Of Goa’. Sterling Goa Varca is a one-stop destination for all sorts of holiday cravings. And what makes it better is that the hotel is taking all the preventive measures under its hygiene and sanitisation program, Sterling Cares.
A Lavish Stay In Swanky Pool-Facing Rooms, Perfect For A Family Holiday
Nestled amidst the lush greenery of South Goa, Sterling Goa Varca offers 71 well-appointed rooms, 2 in-house restaurants, gym, spa, swimming pool and an activity room. The hotel has swanky and spacious rooms overlooking a crystal clear pool, perfect for families and couples. There is also a Privilege Suite which comes with the hall, an open kitchen and bedroom. Usually you’ll have to shell out around ₹6000 per night to book a room at the property, but with Sterling’s membership, you can enjoy a stay here for 2 nights and 3 days for absolutely free when you sit through a 45-minute preview of their membership!
Enjoy Indoor Games And Thrilling Aqua Zorbing Rides
The resort offers a spacious activity room with various games such as air hockey, carrom, table tennis or pool. Sterling’s very own discovery mascot, Raja Rex, an adorable dinosaur, will be more than happy to join in the fun. If that’s not enough, you can also indulge in some water fun by taking up an aqua zorbing ride.
Relishing Authentic Fish Thali, Bebinca And Local Cocktails
Coming to dining, the in-house lounge or open lawn is the perfect place to chill out at Sterling Goa. You must try the authentic and delectable fish thali out here. Also, when in Goa you can’t afford to miss trying out the Indo-Portuguese dessert, bebinca. Bebinca is a traditional sweet of Goa and it’s absolutely delicious at Sterling. Also, here you can get the hang of the Goan nightlife in the most local way. The bar at this resort, Sterling Local, serves some unique cocktail variants like mahua and fenny based cocktails.
The Serene And Picturesque Varca Beach
Just a few minutes away from the hotel, there is the beautiful Varca beach and I totally loved the narrow access to the beach. Varca is nothing like the other beaches in Goa. Contrary to the popular belief of Goa being a hardcore party destination of India, Varca is one of the reasons for tourists to come to Goa for some peace and quiet holidays. To be honest, the water, the sand, the breeze feels so different in South Goa from North Goa.
Biking Ride Through The Narrow Goan Lanes Flanked By Coconut Trees
While I love the beaches, this part of Goa is beyond its beaches and has many more attractions close by. Riding a bicycle in the narrow lanes of Goa surrounded by coconut trees is an experience you will never forget. Sterling organises biking tours to give you a glimpse into the quintessential Goan life. From visiting Bollywood’s Popular Love You Zindagi spot, learning about the tobacco plantation site to cycling through the calming Sal river (bridge) and the splendid Michael Orlim Church, I never felt so close to nature.
Whisky Tour To Paul John Distillery
I visited the Goa Chitra Museum where there are over 4000 artefacts from traditional farming equipment to Goan antiques. I also visited the Braganza House which is a huge 17th-century Portuguese-style mansion filled with antique furniture, art & historic artefacts. You can also go on a Whiskey tour to Paul John distillery and understand the process of whiskey making.
I am just thinking if this was not the complimentary offer how much I would be paying. I couldn’t get over Sterling. I’m already thinking about my next holiday. The only question is which of the 40 resorts? And imagine, with the Sterling Membership I get to holiday for the next 25 years at today’s prices. My next 2 decades’ holiday plan is sorted with Sterling. What about you?
