As the hotel's hidden away on the unspoilt backwaters of the River Chapora in North Goa, guests will find natural beauty and serenity they can only dream of. Yet the property is a mere 20 minutes' drive or speedboat ride from the palm fringed beaches that have made Goa famous. Sweeping views of lush tropical landscapes with meandering rivers and magical islands combine with understated luxury and personal service. The property has originally been designed to be a private estate, and many of the guests comment on how the hotel has retained the atmosphere of an elegant luxury villa with unobtrusive service and excellent food. Guests can enjoy the incredible surroundings in comfort and they will find many inviting sofas and seating areas dotted around the various verandas, terraces and decks.
