The Resort is located in Goa, the former Portuguese enclave which has enjoed
a prominent place in the traveller;s lexicon. Located on the South-west of
India, Goa is easilly reached by a short flight from India;s financial capital,
Mumbai.
The Resort faces west and covers an area of approx. 10 hectares. There is an
extensive beachfront of approx. 300 meters of fine white sand of the highest
quality. Set back from the beach are rolling sand dunes giving the site an
unusual varied topography with a series of natural “lagoons” in the wet
monsoon season. Surrounding the Resort property is agricultural land with rice
paddies of the rural village of Utorda creating a self-contained environment for
the Resort, with an access road bisecting the village.
The Resort is conceptualized as an Indo-Portuguese village. Like an old
village, it has been developed radially from a central shopping “spine” and
town centre plaza, to grow into a lively picturesque township full of fragrant
plant filled courtyards and gardens, linked by Venice-like canals, bridges and
cobbled streets. With such organic growth, the village is divided into
“neighborhoods” which creates a series of individual guestroom clusters
within the resort, slightly differently themed in architecture and landscape.
