Devbagh beach resort in karwar is around 525 kms from our home in Bangalore – around 9hrs drive, we decided to take a bus which departed from Bangalore at around 9:00 pm. We reached Karwar the following morning at 8:30 am and took an autorickshaw towards the Jungle lodges office which is mere 10 minutes away from the bus stand.
After completing the formalities, a jungle lodges vehicle escorted us to one of the boats that took us to the Devbagh Island on the other side.
The moment we entered Devbagh island, we were welcomed with the sweet chirping of birds. You will be totally amazed with the setting of the resort – with just 18 cottages separated from each other by 20 feet, each one of them is equipped with a hammock and all the cottages facing the sea and private beach.

We quickly checked-into our cottage, freshened up and headed towards the dining area- golghar for breakfast and later spent some time lazying around over the hammock and taking a walk around the property.
At 1:30 pm lunch was served at gol ghar. The food was a mix of North Indian and south Indian dishes and was simple and delicious. Post lunch we took a short nap and woke up for evening tea at 4:30 pm after which we headed towards the beach which is only 100 meter walk from the cottage.
The pristine Devbagh beach is unique on its own. Located between the Karli backwaters on one side and the majestic Arabian Sea on the other, The Devbagh Sangam is one of the highlights of this beach resort.
