The stay decisions worth flagging in Gopalpur-on-Sea.
Gopalpur-on-Sea is a quiet colonial-era beach town south of Puri — calmer than Puri Beach, cleaner sand, wider space. Stay scene: Mayfair Palm Beach Resort Gopalpur (Mayfair-brand luxury), OTDC Panthanivas Gopalpur, Sawali Hotel. 170 km from Bhubaneswar. Best Sep-Mar; monsoon brings choppy water.
Mayfair Palm Beach Resort Gopalpur is the default luxury pick in the town — Mayfair-brand consistency with beach-front location. Smaller OTDC Panthanivas Gopalpur is the budget alternative. For couples and families wanting a quieter Odisha coast than Puri, Gopalpur offers less crowd and a longer continuous sand stretch.
Mayfair Palm Beach Resort Gopalpur-on-Sea
Mayfair-brand beach-front resort on the Gopalpur sand. Similar to Mayfair Heritage Puri but on a quieter stretch of the Odisha coast. Full-service spa, multiple F&B options, the default luxury pick in the town.
