If there is magic on this planet, it is contained in water, and probably for this reason, people love to spend their time near oceans and other water bodies. People find solitude and company simultaneously at a sea beach. In the middle of an ocean, one is alone, while at the beach, the same person is surrounded by the company of cool breeze and wild waves. For tourists across the world, beaches and oceans are unarguably the best location to spend holidays with their families. Among many such beaches, Daman near Gujarat has gained popularity as a preferred destination for travellers recently.
Daman is the capital city of union territory of Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu. This coastal region is divided into two parts by the Daman Ganga river as Nani (small) Daman and Moti (large, big) Daman. Local authorities, in their efforts to make Daman a tourist attraction, have launched a series of development projects; and one of the major projects is beachfront development. This, along with other ventures, has not only transformed Daman but also enhanced the beauty of the city.
Praveg’s entry in Daman has accelerated the development efforts; with its two beach resorts at Lighthouse and Jampore, Praveg made a fantastic foray into the most pulsating coastal city in Western India. In less than six months, Praveg built two resorts in close proximity; Lighthouse and Jampore are at a distance of just 2 km from each other.
For a hospitality brand, there cannot be any better time than summer to launch resorts near beaches. Summer vacation provides complete freedom to kids and parents to challenge the sun. And beaches offer the best location for holidaymakers to spend the hot days with families. Moreover, summer is quickly followed by monsoon in Gujarat and its surrounding areas. Now this could be an ideal season for Praveg to welcome vacationers to enjoy the monsoon at sea. Unlike other resorts, Praveg aims to cater to the discerning tourists, who can visit the resorts with their families. For this reason, the company has designed and developed its properties near the popular Lighthouse and Jampore, and named its resorts after the two beaches.
Both resorts boast 33 and 28 luxurious cottages respectively. State-of-the-art facilities like open views, pool-side bar, swimming pool, rooftop cafe-cum-bar, multicuisine restaurant, event lawn, and conference make it more favourable for tourists to spend relaxed holidays. However, Jampore beach resort has an edge as it offers seven machan cottages, which are eight feet above the ground. This elevated structure gives guests the best view of the sprawling sea. As long as you stay, you are surrounded by sun, sea, sand, and greenery.
Praveg has made the most of the prominent location and built two luxury resorts for tourists. Daman, like other tourist destinations, has much to explore. City’s history, geography, and culture invite tourists to meander through uncharted lanes and streets.
