In Goa, renowned for its exotic appeal catering to both beach enthusiasts and seekers of hinterland retreats, the rising demand for independent vacation abodes has propelled the trend of villas, with Mae Terra standing as a prime example. Boasting a four-bedroom villa capable of accommodating up to 15 guests, it presents an ideal holiday haven for groups.
Located approximately 12 kilometers from the bustling capital city of Goa, Chorao Island emerges as a tranquil oasis, offering a serene escape unlike any other in the region. Here, amidst the verdant surroundings, one can truly immerse themselves in the essence of authentic Goa. Far removed from the frenetic pace of urban life, this secluded haven evokes nostalgic reminiscences of a bygone era.
The journey to Chorao Island unfolds along narrow yet impeccably maintained roads, flanked by lush foliage on either side. Adding to its allure, the villas, adorned with baroque architecture, lend a distinct charm to the landscape.
Access to the island is exclusively via the Ferry Service, conveniently situated at Raibandar. Upon embarking on this voyage, one instantly disconnects from the urban hustle and finds themselves enveloped in the laid-back ambiance that defines life on Chorao Island.
While this retreat didn't boast the opulence characteristic of my past sojourns at five-star luxury establishments, this was to be expected given its intimate, villa setting. Here, one is greeted not by ostentation, but by an embrace reminiscent of 'Home Away from Home, cocooned within the embrace of abundant natural splendor.
