Vagator, like Anjuna, is a relaxed, fairly undeveloped place. It has
an excellent, hassle-free, mood. If you want to have a good time on
the beach and want to party to the max, this is definitely the place
to go. It is a really nice place, but if you consider yourself conservative,
it is probably better to go to another beach.
Located
here is Big Vagator beach to the north, a fairly long, wide, white-sand
beach. Not many foreign tourists go to this beach, and in the afternoon
Indian tourists invade it. Little Vagator beach (also called Ozran or
Little Israel) is to the south. To get to this beach, you have to walk
about a minute down a steep cliff. It is actually two beaches divided
by a headway (rocks going out into the sea). The more northern beach
of the two is smaller and more crowded. The south beach is fairly spread
out and more secluded. It is a beautiful beach. This beach is mainly
used by the young, hip, budget crowd with time on their hands who are
in no hurry to go anywhere. Topless bathing is the norm on this beach,
and no one seems to care.
Vagator
consists of about ten hotels, twenty restaurants, and shops spread out
over a few km. There are some houses (much less than the actual demand)
here rented out to long-staying travelers. It can be difficult to find
a place to stay, and if you come during the high-season, you will probably
have to stay in Calangute or Baga for a few days while you wait for
a vacancy.
Information
You can change money at the Corporation Bank, 250m
south of the main crossroads on the road to Anjuna. You can change money
quickly at the bank rate at the Primrose Cafe during
the day.
You can make calls and receive a callback for Rs 5 a minute at Vagator
Communication Centre (227-3335), on the main road leading to
Big Vagator Beach, near the turn off to Primrose. Internet
at Lalita Communications and Bethany Inn (Rs 50 per hour).
You
should have a flashlight (torch) to get around, as there are no streetlights.
If
you want to rent a motorbike, expect people to drive up to you and try
to rent you thexe "Vagator" motorbike that they are riding.
You can rent a motorbike from Roseland Auto
Centre, 100m down the road from Primrose. On the main road
there is another place, next to Vagator Communication Centre.
You can rent a motorcycle at Prakash Auto Service (263-214),
near the Sea Green Chinese Restaurant. You could also go to the repair
shop in Anjuna (see map), which has a good selection of mopeds and motorcycles.
Where to Stay
It is hard to find a room during the high season, and you may have to
settle for whatever you can get until a vacancy opens up. Many people
rent houses for longer stays. Rent is usually from Rs 2000 to Rs 5000
a month, depending on the time of year and how long you plan to stay.
If you want to rent a house only during the Christmas season, you may
pay more than double these prices—if you can find anything to
rent at all. Ask at the restaurants (especially the Royal Velvet or
Primrose) for rooms or houses to rent. If you plan to stay awhile, it
is best to arrive in late September or October to begin the search.
Many houses are rented to the same people year after year.
Jolly Jolly Lester(227-3620), Vagator Beach Rd, onthe
main road going to Big Vagator beach has six nice rooms with attached
bathrooms for Rs 500 and double that during Christmas. Has a nice garden.
Dolrina Guest House,(227-3382, 227-4896, Email: dolrina@hotmail.com),
near the beach, down a path 50m from the road, is the largest guest
house in Vagator. It is a friendly, family-run place with rooms with
common bath for Rs 250/400, with attached bath for Rs 500, and a triple
for Rs 700. It has safe deposit and is quiet.
Anita Lodge (227-4348), nearby, has five basic rooms
with Western toilets and small balconies for Rs 300. You rent the rooms
at the Anita Wine Shop across the road.
Yellow House, near the parking lot for the beach, has
rooms for Rs 300.
Moonlight Bar has rooms with common bath for Rs 300.
Oasis Guest House, west of the crossroads, has rooms
with attached bath for Rs 450. Trees surround it.
Reshma Guest House has rooms with common bath for Rs
300/350 and Rs 500 with bath.
Motel Hill Top, about a half km back from Little Vagator
Beach, has good rooms for Rs 350 a night. This place is usually fully
booked well in advance in December and January. It has an Italian bakery
and a restaurant.
Balbina’s has rooms with common bath for Rs 400.
The extremely poorly maintained Royal Resort (227-4365)
charges an unbelievably overpriced Rs 1400 for a double in the high-season
and Rs 800 the rest of the year.
Le Bluebird (227-3695) has nice rooms for Rs 300 to
Rs 500.
Bethany Inn Guest House (227-4520: Email: bethany@goatelecom.com)
is a new place with clean rooms with bath, hot water and a fridge for
Rs 600. Also has an Internet cafe.Well-managed.
Some rooms have balconies.
Leoney Resorts (227-3357, 227-3634; Email: romi@goatelecom.com)
has good comfortable rooms for Rs 900 and bigger rooms for Rs 1300.
It is a nice place in a quiet area. Foreign exchange. Has cottages built
around a pool.
Sterling Vagator Beach Resort (227-3277), near Big
Vagator Beach, is a resort hotel with a big pool, lawns, a palm grove,
and two restaurants. During the high-season ordinary cottages are Rs
3200 (Rs 1800 at other times). A/C cottages are Rs 4000 (Rs 3000 at
other times). It is a pleasant secluded place to stay. Some married
friends of mine who just stayed here really enjoyed it.
Where to Eat and Entertainment
Primrose Cafe and Restaurant, south edge of the village
on the road to Anjuna, is the most popular place for late-night action.
Loot Discotheque, at the Alcove Restaurant, above Little
Vagator Beach, is a nightspot.
Jolly Jolly Jester, between Big Vagator beach and the
main crossroads, has good Western, vegetarian food, and salads.
Sea Green has good Chinese food at a good price.
Mango Tree has good Chinese food.
Lobo’s, behind the beach, is one of the best
beach places. It serves typical Goan food, and Western and vegetarian
preparations.
Salt and Pepper is a popular place.
Potala is a popular, reasonably-priced Tibetan restaurant.
There is a good Israeli restaurant on the road to Anjuna
from Little Vagator Beach, across from Milky Place.
Travel
To get here from Panaji (30 min to Mapusa), you must first take a bus
to Mapusa (9km east, 20 min, every 15 min). The bus stand for buses
to Mapusa is on the main road about a km from the beach. To get here
from Calangute or Baga, it is best to take a taxi (Rs 125) or a motorcycle
taxi (Rs 75) as there is no direct bus.
