Treat yourself to a little luxury at these wonderfully luxurious Goa hotels. Including some of the best hotels in Goa, all guaranteed to make your holiday in India's sunshine state unforgettable.

Luxury Hotels in Goa

 

The St. Regis Goa Resort

Considered the most luxurious hotel in Goa, this tropical paradise features sublime grounds, lily filled lagoons and service of the highest standard. Facilities include four fine-dining restaurants, two bars, free-form pool, tennis, yoga, golf and a spa.

The utopian feel created by The St. Regis Goa Resort continues through the gardens, and onto the soft, sandy beach beyond. We suggest taking an evening stroll along Mobor Beach, to fully take advantage of the stretching sands and stunning views.

There's plenty on offer at the resort for those who enjoy keeping active on holiday. With a 12-hole golf course, archery, tennis, fitness centre and more, there's no shortage of ways to work up an appetite for the variety of restaurants on offer. This includes the Miri all-day dining restaurant, Oliveti offering à la carte Italian dining, and a fabulous beachfront grill, Susegado, where fresh seafood is cooked to perfection.

 

Taj Exotica Resort & Spa



This luxurious, palatial hotel has somewhat of a colonial style in terms of its architecture and design; grand polished marble floors, beamed wooden ceilings and antiques, which all add to the hotel's character and charm.

A favourite with the discerning British tourist, there’s not much that this hotel doesn’t provide. From a spa and fitness centre, through to a golf course and practice green, archery, children’s activity centre and tennis courts you’ll have plenty to enjoy whilst visiting the Taj Exotica. The hotel’s bedrooms boast beautiful décor, harmoniously blending Goan and Portuguese influences, twinned with wonderful views across the green gardens.

 

ITC Grand Goa

Set in 45 acres of beautifully landscaped gardens, shimmering lagoons and meandering waterways, the ITC Grand Goa is one of Goa’s finest hotels.

Imagine lying under the Goan sun, on a white sand beach lined with coconut palms, with a cool, inviting turquoise blue ocean as far as the eye can see... With its nearby beach and luxury facilities, this is exactly what the ITC Grand Goa is all about.

Start your day with a relaxing yoga session, then move on to their award winning Sereno Spa, then perhaps some sunbathing, followed by dining in one of the specialty restaurants? This hotel exudes calm and relaxation, whilst keeping a wonderful air of understated elegance and Goan charm. 

 

Alila Diwa Goa

With a spectacular setting hidden amongst coconut groves and surrounded by rice paddies, the Alila Diwa exudes luxury, offering guests an ultimate Goan experience. 

The hotel itself depicts a magnificent Balinese style, and the elevated infinity pool makes the most of the fantastic panoramic views. The Alila Diwa has ample facilities with something for everyone, from a spa and yoga sessions through to cookery courses, a kids' club and even a small cinema. It's also just minutes away from a stunning beach, with a convenient shuttle bus making the trip even easier.

For those looking for the ultimate in luxury experiences, upgrade to the Diwa Club. With its own private hideaway, exclusive use of a second pool and Jacuzzi and a fine dining bistro, you're sure to find yourself completely relaxed.

Day 1: Departing Goa for Delhi our representative will meet you in the arrivals area of the airport. They will assist with your private transfer to your Delhi hotel which will be your base for two nights.

Day 2: This morning, you will depart Delhi railway staion to Agra. Once a small village on the banks of the Yamuna, it was transformed by two great Mughal monarchs, Akbar and his grandson Shah Jehan into the second capital of the Mughal Empire, Dar-ul-Khilafat, or ‘seat of the Emperor’ in the 16th and 17th century.

Taj Mahal

When you arrive in Agra you will be met by our representative who will introduce you to your guide who will take you to Taj Mahal (closed on Fridays). On the inner walls, jewel-like stones create beautiful designs in white marble. The Mughals perfected the art of embedding semi-precious stones into marble and the Taj is the finest example of this special process called pietra dura. It begins with a marble plate, varying in size. Then jewels are sliced paper thin and embedded in the marble with such precision that the joints are invisible to the naked eye. Continue for a visit to the Agra Fort, a walled city constructed of red stone which was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1983. Construction of the fort was originally started by Emperor Akbar in 1565, but his son, Jahangir, and grandson, Shah Jahan, later made valuable additions to it.

You will also visit Itmad ud Daula, also known as Baby Taj. This tomb was built in 1622 for Ghiyas Beg, father of Empress Noor-Jahan, the wife of Emperor Jahangir. It is beautifully conceived in white marble, mosaic and lattice and set a precedent as the first Mughal building to be faced with white marble inlaid with contrasting stones.

Later, you will be driven back to Agra Cantt railway station, where you will board your train back to Delhi.

Day 3: After breakfast, proceed for the orientation city tour of Old and New Delhi including a visit of the 17th-century Jama Masjid and enjoy a rickshaw ride through the narrow, winding lanes of colourful and bustling Chandni Chowk. Stop in front of the Mughal Empire’s most opulent fort, the Red Fort for a photo opportunity.

Later proceed to New Delhi where you will be taken for a drive past the Presidential Palace, the one-time imperial residence of the British viceroys, the India Gate, a memorial raised in honour of fallen Indian soldiers and a drive along the Rajpath past the Parliament House and secretarial buildings. You will also visit Qutab Minar, the 12th-century tower of victory built by a slave king and prototype of all minars (towers) in India.

After the tour you will be transferred to Delhi Airport to board your short flight back to Goa.
