A haven of warm, quiet luxury.

Grand Hyatt Goa occupies 28 acres of tropical gardens and lush lawns in North Goa, and overlooks the calming water of Bambolim Bay. Located 30 minutes away from Dabolim Airport, the hotel boasts Indo-Portuguese architecture. The property’s warm decor— with a lot of beige and brown—lifts your spirits instantly. The property houses seven restaurants and five pools. You should head to Chulha to savour traditional Indian flavours. The Dining Room offers five cuisines, and The Verandah serves up the finest Italian dishes. For some innovative cocktails, head to the Bay View Lounge where the windows open to views of an infinity pool. The luxurious, spacious, and modern 300-plus rooms and suites come with attached balconies. The Presidential Suite offers a marble bathroom with a walk-in shower and an outdoor jacuzzi; you also get a private kitchen and a personal butler. The adventure park on the property offers activities such as zip-lining, wall climbing, a rope course, and more. The one thing you shouldn’t definitely miss is a detox session at the Shamana Spa, one of the largest in the country, which employs a combination of modern and ancient Indian wellness techniques.
