While Woke’s Arpora cousin was cosy, with its sleepy cats and dreamy gardens, Woke Morjim is bigger and more evolved. To begin with, they’re going to have 120 beds out of which about 60 are ready for now. Their private rooms all come with a balcony and a hill view. And if you crane your neck, you can see the sea in a distance, we’re told. And, in keeping with the poshtel (aka posh hostel) philosophy, they’re all priced pretty competitively. Think INR 799 for dorms and INR 2,070 upwards for the rooms, both of which are spacious. They also have hot showers, multiple terraces and balconies where you can catch the most breathtaking Goan sunsets and sunrises.
If you want more incentive to be here, know that the shared space with Base means your meals and evening parties are well taken care of. And truth be told, we’ve been stalking Base and its Instagram stories of parties look LIT. The hostel folks have also struck some pretty sweet deals with the Base guys. So, you can get a wholesome brekkie if you’re a Woke guest at around INR 95 at Base. Similarly, there’s a dedicated happy hour (1+1) every day from 5–6pm on beer, cocktails and select spirits. Do note these might be subject to change based on COVID guidelines at the time of your travel. And if you’re one for variety, the hostel’s poolside bar is quite amaze in itself.
Looking to do more than just being a beach bum? Fret not. The hostel guys are working on getting a daily calendar where you’ll have stuff to do and places to explore no matter what day of the week you land up. This, of course, is over and above the beach activities with fellow Woke guests and curated ethical dolphin spotting tours with Terra Conscious. Happy now?
