Hello travel lovers! Arushi is on this side!
Welcome to my travel updates recounting our delightful journey to the coastal paradise of Daman. Join me as I share our experiences with family, recommendations, and tips for an unforgettable getaway to this charming destination.
A Journey Along the Coastal Route, Daman:
With my family, I took a flight from Delhi to Daman, which set us back about Rs. 8,000. It was just a short 3-day vacation. The journey was a bit bumpy, but once we landed in Daman, a cool ocean breeze welcomed us, instantly refreshing us and washing away any tiredness from the trip.
Finest Accommodations for Your Coastal Retreat:
We stayed at the peaceful Praveg Beach Resort for our three-day trip, which cost us Rs. 5,000 per night. Lao, the hotel is a sea-facing hotel located near Lighthouse Beach. Moreover, the experience is the essence of a tropical vacation at our coastal-themed resort in Daman, with a touch of Portuguese-style design.
Wake up to stunning views of the Arabian Sea from your window. Explore our tastefully designed resort, located on the iconic Lighthouse Beach. Also, our sea-facing stay offers a beachside experience, set against the backdrop of the historical Moti Daman Fort and serene panoramic views of the sea.
