The Calangute Mahal is a typical Goan Dormhouse and is the cheapest and most basic type of accommodation in the whole of India. It's ideal for people who might normally enjoy sleeping on the beach but who just need some sort of base. The Dormhouse consists of separate male and female dormitory style accommodation with up to twenty people sleeping on mattresses. The toilets are "Indian style".

Obviously staying in this type of dormitory accommodation we recommend you take your belongings with you each day since there is no form of security and no cupboards in which to store your belongings and due to climate conditions the windows are normally left open day and night.

A transfer can be provided upon arrival, which will cost £10 each way and will have to be paid locally to our agent. Dormhouse accommodation cannot be taken in association with any tour and will not be visited by a Jewel in the Crown Holidays Representative.
