Goa Unveiled: The World of Luxury Travel in India

By Simone Christian · 2 minute read

Where summertime serenity and easy living are embraced, the sandy shoreline of Goa is a hidden gem in India. Away from the hustle and bustle of India's well-known tourist locations, Goa provides a relaxing coastal paradise that fuses Indian culture with Portuguese flavour.

As one of the smallest states in India, Goa is bursting with delicious foods, sights to see, and traditions to experience.

Religious Sights in Old Goa

The impressive Basilica of Bom Jesus, a Roman Catholic icon, continues to stand to this day. Built in the 16th century, the structure was born from the missionary travels throughout India and is now home to the bodily remains of St Francis Xavier. This mausoleum is a bustling feature during the Feast of St Francis Xavier in December and an important experience for pilgrims.

Dudhsagar Falls

The four-tiered waterfall 'Sea of Milk' is sure to leave travellers breathless. Located in the Bhagwan Mahavir Wildlife Sanctuary, a trip to the waterfall is a full-day experience. As a popular tourist attraction, it is suggested to book a vehicle in advance to reach the site, followed by a brief trek over the rocks and greenery. Travellers can cool down in the waters and appreciate the beauty of such an impressive natural landmark.

Goan Cuisine

Goa's coastal location encourages a fusion of seafood and Indian delicacies with Portuguese influence. From sweet curries with coconut bases to spicy dishes from family recipes, Goa's unique culinary scene is sure to impress any foodie.

A must try? Goan pork vindaloo, for the meat lovers, or Goan Fish Curry for the fresh fish craving.

Discover Serenity at Villa Azul

Elegant master bedroom suite with four-poster canopy bed in warm reddish-brown wood, cream and gold bedding, white ceiling with architectural beams, potted tropical plants, traditional patterned flooring, wooden furniture pieces, and shuttered windows creating serene colonial-inspired luxury

After a day of exploration, the five-bedroom Villa Azul is a delightful escape to unwind and relax. Ideal for 10 guests, the villa includes an idyllic garden courtyard and a private outdoor swimming pool.

Indoors, stylish bedrooms await where hints of Indian luxury blend with modern minimalism. Large doors and expansive windows open up onto the wraparound veranda, creating a symbiotic relationship with the outdoor greenery.

Tropical Living at Estate de Frangipani

Charming multi-story colonial villa in cream and pale pink with black-framed windows, red architectural accents, turquoise tile-lined pool, manicured green lawn, tropical plantings with frangipani trees, and traditional Indian colonial design aesthetic

This four-bedroom estate is surrounded by palm groves, frangipanis, and banyan trees. For a home that combines grandeur and the natural beauty of the surrounding environment, Estate de Frangipani is the perfect escape.

The uber-chic interiors find a balance between Portuguese influences and Indian living. The bedrooms provide stylish sanctuaries for relaxation, while the outdoor living areas are perfect for entertaining.

Glasshouse On The Bay

Contemporary luxury beachfront villa at golden hour with modern black-framed glass architecture, turquoise infinity pool, wooden deck terrace, palm tree landscaping, white interior visible through expansive windows, ocean sunset view, and minimalist design

For a truly unparalleled villa, Glasshouse On The Bay is located right on the water's edge and provides views of the rippling sea from all angles. The three-bedroom villa is the perfect escape for six travellers who want to stay right on the water's edge.

While this villa sounds like it's straight from a fairytale, very real and very incredible views are best enjoyed from the private swimming pool and outdoor dining area. Breathe in the fresh sea breeze while basking in the Indian sunshine.
