Le Méridien Goa

Le Méridien Goa sits on Aguada Siolim Road in Calangute, North Goa, a short drive from Baga and Candolim beaches. It is a Marriott hotel, so you get a polished, well-run setup within easy reach of the sand.

The area gives guests plenty to explore. Candolim runs south towards Fort Aguada, with its old church and lighthouse, while Old Goa, home to the Basilica of Bom Jesus and the Sé Cathedral, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Baga is the lively one after dark. Goa has two airports. The hotel lists Manohar International at Mopa about 30 km away and Goa International about 37 km away.

The main wedding room is Reis Magos, 288 square metres, which the hotel lists at 220 for a reception and 126 for a banquet. It has its own pre-function space, and there is also an outdoor pre-function area for drinks before dinner. Jazz and Grills, a whiskey bar beside the pool, suits a relaxed evening, and the hotel suggests poolside cocktail nights, live food stations and lounge-style welcome drinks. Marriott certified wedding planners help with the budget, menus, table settings, florists, photographers and bands. Ask the team about beach or lawn ceremonies, legal ceremony options and the music curfew, as these are not listed on the events page.

Guests stay on site in rooms and suites with floor-to-ceiling windows. The hotel does not publish its room count, so ask the team whether a block can be held for your group. There are three places to eat and drink: Latest Recipe, the main restaurant, Longitude 73, a coffee shop that becomes a bar in the evening, and Plunge, the pool bar. An outdoor pool, a kids' pool, a free Kids Club and a gym help when families are travelling. Between events, guests can spend a morning on Candolim or Baga beach, or take a half day out to the churches of Old Goa.
