Nazri Resort & Lawns, Goa 

There’s something about a place that gets its balance right. A place that doesn’t try too hard to fit a trend, but instead leans into what it does best—and does it consistently well. Nazri Resort & Lawns in Goa falls precisely into that category. Set against the energetic backdrop of Baga, this resort delivers the rare combination of space, comfort, and accessibility without compromising on the tranquility that many crave while vacationing in one of India’s most vibrant destinations.

For travelers who want to experience the high-energy beach life of North Goa while still returning to a setting that feels expansive, calming, and grounded, Nazri Resort checks all the right boxes. Its vast lawn spaces, large swimming pool, and spacious rooms make it ideal for a range of visitors—whether you’re a family looking for room to breathe, a couple seeking a laid-back hideaway, or a group of friends chasing the beach-sunset-party rhythm.

The Major USP: Expansive Lawns in the Heart of Baga

Nazri’s most distinct feature, and arguably its biggest advantage, is its large landscaped lawn area—a rarity in this part of Goa. While most resorts in Baga are compact and crowded to maximize real estate, Nazri has managed to retain open, green spaces that make a notable difference in how the property feels.

These lawns aren’t just decorative. They play an active role in the guest experience. Morning walks, yoga stretches, quiet reading under a palm tree, or evening strolls before dinner—the space gives you room to exist at your own pace. And in a destination like Goa, where much of your time is spent navigating beaches, markets, and cafés, having an area that encourages pause is more valuable than it first appears.

This openness also sets a particular tone. The resort doesn’t feel congested. You’re not boxed into narrow pathways or small courtyards. The air flows. The light moves. And even when the hotel is at full occupancy, it never feels overcrowded.

Location: Right Where You Need to Be

Nazri Resort’s location is another practical highlight. Situated just a short walk from Baga Beach, you’re close enough to hear the distant hum of waves and catch the scent of the sea on the breeze. A quick stroll puts you in the middle of one of North Goa’s most iconic stretches—lined with beach shacks, water sports operators, and sunset bars that define the region’s appeal.

But crucially, the resort is tucked just enough away from the direct beachline to offer a buffer from the noise and crowds. You can participate in Baga’s liveliness when you want to—and retreat when you don’t. That in-between positioning allows you to curate your own version of Goa, whether it’s active and outgoing or peaceful and slow-paced.

The area around the resort is also packed with useful conveniences: cafés, ATMs, scooter rentals, boutique stores, and tour services—all within walking distance. It makes your stay seamless, removing the need for long drives or constant planning.

A Layout Designed for Comfort and Flow

Nazri Resort isn’t just defined by its open lawns. Its overall layout encourages ease of movement and an unhurried stay. The property is spread out over a large area, with rooms and suites arranged around the central pool and garden space. This allows for pleasant views, natural airflow, and a sense of openness that’s rare in North Goa.

The architectural style blends clean, functional lines with subtle Goan aesthetics—arched balconies, tiled roofs, and soft pastel exteriors that reflect the coastal sunlight without blinding brightness. Wide walkways connect the rooms to the main building and pool, ensuring privacy without creating a sense of isolation.

What also works in the resort’s favor is the visual clarity of its layout. You’re never confused about where things are. The reception, restaurant, pool, and rooms are all placed in an intuitive, guest-friendly way—making the property easy to navigate even on your first day.

Spacious Rooms That Give You Room to Settle In

Rooms at Nazri Resort are noticeably larger than what’s typical for the area. Whether you’re staying in a standard room or one of the premium options, there’s enough space to move around, unpack, and truly feel like you’re staying somewhere, not just passing through.

The interiors are designed for utility and ease—well-lit, air-conditioned, and equipped with private balconies or patios. Many of these balconies overlook either the pool or the green lawns, giving you a visual break from the built environment. It’s these small details—open views, natural light, breathable layouts—that elevate the comfort level of your stay.

The beds are firm and spacious, the linens are clean, and there’s adequate storage for longer vacations. Bathrooms are functional, with hot water, good pressure, and the kind of straightforward layout that prioritizes usability.

Whether you’re staying a couple of nights or a full week, the room offers enough flexibility to support both leisure and routine. And for families or small groups, that extra bit of square footage really adds to the overall ease.

A Pool Area That Feels Relaxed, Not Rushed

The pool at Nazri is central to the property—not just in location, but in atmosphere. It’s large, clean, and surrounded by ample loungers and umbrellas. Unlike many smaller resorts where the pool becomes crowded quickly, here there’s always enough space to enjoy the water at your own pace.

The pool is designed to accommodate everyone. There are shallow areas for children or casual lounging, deeper sections for actual swimming, and a surrounding layout that encourages relaxation rather than just visual appeal.

Because the resort isn’t overly packed, the pool area remains a calming space even during busier seasons. You can take a dip in the morning, spend a slow afternoon reading by the water, or enjoy the ambient lighting in the evenings as the area winds down for the day.

Dining That Keeps Things Easy and Accessible

Nazri’s in-house restaurant offers a balanced mix of Indian, Goan, and continental dishes. While it may not be styled as a gourmet destination, it covers the essentials with care—good breakfast spreads, fresh seafood, and reliable snacks throughout the day.

Breakfasts, included with most stays, are generous and suited to a variety of palates. You’ll find eggs-to-order, fruit, breads, South Indian staples, and hot beverages that ease you into your day.

For those who prefer to eat out, the surrounding area is rich with dining options—everything from beach shacks serving fresh prawns and fish curry to quirky cafés offering fusion and international fare. The staff are more than happy to recommend places based on your preferences, and many are walkable or just a short ride away.

Service That’s Present Without Being Overbearing

One of the subtler strengths of Nazri Resort is its team. The staff here carry out their roles with quiet professionalism. Housekeeping is regular and prompt, the front desk is helpful and patient, and there’s always someone around when you need assistance—whether it’s a transport request, an extra pillow, or directions to the nearest café.

There’s no forced cheer or robotic service language. Instead, you get a team that understands the ebb and flow of a vacation stay. They give you space, but step in when required. That unobtrusive presence enhances the overall sense of ease that the resort is known for.

A Stay That Lets You Choose Your Pace

Ultimately, what defines a stay at Nazri Resort & Lawns is the freedom it offers. You can start your day with a walk on the lawn, follow it with a busy afternoon of shopping or beach-hopping, and return to a poolside sunset and quiet dinner. Or you could do the opposite—skip the crowds, sleep in, read under a tree, and let the day pass gently. The property doesn’t push a rhythm onto you. It adapts to yours.

Whether you're the kind of traveller who builds a checklist or someone who prefers to drift from moment to moment, Nazri makes space for both. And that, more than anything else, is what makes a vacation truly restful.
