Taj Holiday Village Resort and Spa.

Spread across 28 acres of manicured gardens on Sinquerim Beach, this resort trades the standard hotel tower for a collection of 142 terracotta-roofed cottages and villas. The design leans heavily into Goan-Portuguese heritage, characterized by deep-set verandas, colonial-style dark wood furniture, and traditional patterned floor tiles. While the beachfront location is a primary draw, the property is defined by its village-like layout that feels more like a coastal estate than a commercial resort. Dining options are distinct, ranging from authentic local flavors at The Beach House to Thai cuisine under a centuries-old banyan tree. Guests have access to a large free-form pool and the Jiva Spa, which focuses on Indian aromatherapy, while the proximity to Fort Aguada provides a historic backdrop for sunset walks along the Arabian Sea.
