Located at Fort Aguada, Vivanta by Taj is one of the most desirable resorts in Goa. Its website boasts that governmental executives and celebrities often flock to its seaside location in search of what it provides: A unique combination of vibrancy and serenity. Everything here has been recently revamped, from the private villas to the on-site spa.

Speaking of the spa, we’d be amiss not to hail Jiva Spa for its relaxation amenities. At Jiva, you’ll be treated to one of the most lavish spa experiences in India. The beauticians and massage therapists here use Ayurvedic principles to guide their treatments. They also exclusively use locally derived Indian herbs and all-natural creams and oils. Even if you’re not interested in a spa treatment, you can stop by for yoga and meditation sessions.

The Park, Holiday Beach

Another gorgeous oceanfront resort, The Park Calangute offers a tropical feel that’s hard to beat. From its open, airy rooms to its courtyard-style pool, the hotel offers a unique sense of being indoors and outdoors at the same time. It also offers a skybar with gorgeous views of Goa and a restaurant that opens out to the pool area. If your primary reason for visiting Goa is to enjoy the outdoors, The Park Calangute should be right up your alley.

The hotel offers just 20 rooms, giving it a highly personalised and secluded appeal. However, because the lively Holiday Beach is just steps away, you’ll have plenty of chances to rub elbows with other holidaymakers if you wish.
