About

Welcome to 12 Monks – Backpacker Resort
Tucked away in a lush, laid-back pocket of Goa, 12 Monks is where soulful travelers, sun-chasers, and free spirits come to rest, reset, and reconnect. Our resort blends the comfort of spacious boutique living with the social vibe of a backpacker hostel, creating a unique stay that feels both expansive and intimate.

Unwind in our large, sunlit private apartments, stretch out in our airy, stylish dorms, or take a dip in the sparkling pool surrounded by coconut palms. Mornings begin on the open terrace with yoga sessions overlooking green canopies, and afternoons are best spent lounging in our tropical garden or swapping stories with fellow travelers in our cozy community kitchen.

Nestled close to the beach and hidden from the chaos, 12 Monks offers you the perfect mix of tranquility and connection, just minutes away from Goa’s vibrant cafes, live music venues, and hidden gems. Whether you're here to explore or to exhale, this is your sanctuary.

Summary of traveller reviews

12 Monks Backpacker Resort in Arambol offers a great social atmosphere, making it easy to meet people. Guests praise the helpful staff and the clean, modern facilities, including a lovely pool area. While it's a bit outside the main area, hiring a bike makes it easily accessible. Some beds can be uncomfortable and mosquitoes are present.

I stayed for approximately a week and had a great experience. Quite affordable in the off-season. I had a no AC dorm which when booking I thought that I was booking an AC dorm. So make sure you know what you're booking. Great pool great community, food prices are a bit high compared to other places in the area. Lots to experience in Arambol Goa. Thank you
