Goa has long been known as the tropical paradise of India. Visitors from all over the world flock to this region yearly to have fun in the sun. Its popularity among tourists, however, has slowly taken a toll on the area, with both the travelers and the commercial establishments sharing the dubious responsibility of polluting the state. The good news is that there are now a number of establishments in Goa that trying to do their part to reverse this problem by enforcing environment-friendly initiatives in a bid to promote sustainable tourism. A number of green hotels have taken the lead in this effort. Take a look at this list of the top eco hotels in Goa, India. Book a room at any one of these environment-friendly hotels and be a responsible traveler.
We handpicked these listings carefully, considering (wherever possible) recent guest reviews, location, accommodation type, prices, availability of dates, decor, and the property's commitment towards eco-conscious practices.

1. Alila Diwa Goa (from USD 159)
Sustainability has always been the name of the game with Alila Diwa Goa. The greenery surrounding it is not an accident, it was designed in such a way as to keep the surrounding forest intact and sustain the paddy fields in the area. What’s more, it was made using locally sourced materials. Its efforts are not without results: the area surrounding the hotel is now pretty much a birder’s dream come true, as different varieties of birds now call this area their home. If these aren’t enough, the hotel is also involved in community projects, which includes providing support to the local school.

This family-friendly property also welcomes pets for an additional fee.
Tip from Trip101 local expert
This luxurious hotel is close to Kala Academy Viewpoint and the Mandovi River Promenade. I love this area for late-night walks. You can take long drives too. Kala Academy Viewpoint is a favorite spot in my family. I remember my parents used to take me here for picnics when I was little; it is one of my fondest memories. You can get a view of the river and Kala Academy Lighthouse from here. The promenade, on the other hand, is usually lined with vendors selling street foods such as pani puri, vada pav, and masala sodas. The promenade and viewpoint are about a 15-minute walk from the hotel.

Living it up at Hilton Goa Resort Candolim is like being in a glossy travel magazine. If there’s one place you go for those stunning ‘Gram photos, I would definitely suggest this hotel - the infinity pool is not just a pool; it’s like a real-life IG filter! And, if you thought the pool was it, wait till you see the extravagant rooms with a view that’s a postcard-worthy masterpiece. Nightlife around Candolim is vibrant, and Hilton knows how to throw a party. If the posh gets too much, you can always head down to the beach and have some classic beach shack vibes. In short, I think you can get the perfect combination of swank and susegad here.

Landing at Mercure Goa Devaaya Resort on Divar Island totally flipped my Goa script. That Ayurvedic spa was everything – talk about chill vibes on another level. But it wasn’t just about kicking back; the whole island feel, from the fresh-off-the-boat seafood to stumbling upon cool spots like Our Lady of Piety Church, gave me a whole new angle on Goa. It’s like finding this hidden side of paradise that’s calm, cool, and totally different from the usual beach scene. Devaaya’s got that laid-back island magic that makes you want to stay forever.

Caravela Beach Resort is my slice of the high-life in Goa every time I am in this tropical paradise for an occasional “luxury break”. I have stayed here thrice alone and twice with friends and family and every corner of this place always screams luxury, from the uber-plush rooms that treated us like royalty to that dreamy private beach. The staff, with their ever-present smiles, really went the extra mile to light up our days. Our time was split between adrenaline-pumping water sports and unwinding with cocktails as the sun kissed the horizon. Being here is like living out my luxe beach fantasy, where every moment is picture-perfect and every experience feels tailor-made for me.

Surrounded by the famous swaying palm trees of Goa, Resort Palmeiras Dourado feels like a serene hideaway from the deafening parties and boozy nights which I am not a big fan of honestly. The cottages here were more than just rooms; they were cozy nooks of Goan charm that instantly feels personal and comfy. My days were a blissful blur of lounging by the pool and meandering through local markets, soaking up the vibrant Goan culture. And, I love their complimentary breakfast every morning. They also have an in-house bar by the way, so you don’t have to go out if you don’t want to. And, the wi-fi is pretty good if you work remotely.

It felt like I’d walked into a luxury travel mag setup, where every detail was crafted for the ‘gram but with a vibe that screamed relaxation.

Wildernest hit me with that pure, unfiltered nature vibe the moment I stepped within its walls. Up in the hills, surrounded by forests, it felt like my own little treehouse adventure. No Wi-Fi meant detoxing from digital life and actually soaking in the bird songs and greenery. The local food was a flavor fest I didn’t know I needed. This place truly felt like a safe haven where you could find a piece of yourself again, surrounded by nature’s calm. Wildernest is that perfect blend of adventure and soulful tranquility, making every moment a return to what’s real.

My stay at Mojigao was nothing short of a colorful adventure. Each corner of the place is a burst of creativity, making my room feel like a piece of art. The staff, the real heart of the experience,, made my stay even more memorable. Mojigao isn’t your average Goa spot; it’s a vibrant dive into the offbeat charm of this amazing place. If you’re into offbeat vibes, Mojigao is your go-to. By the way, their garden restaurant serves some really yummy dishes.
Goa-ing back to nature
Goa has suffered in the past years due to bad tourism practices. Things are now starting to change there, however, as more establishments have become conscious of the fact that a collective effort is needed to sustain the environment - and their respective livelihoods. If you plan on visiting Goa anytime soon, make sure to do your part by choosing to stay in a green hotel during your visit.
