The deep copper and bronze sculpture seen at the Porte CochĂŠre is a symbol of protection, and healing represented by a mother and child. Just like the holy Tulsi welcoming each guest in homes seen in villages. The mother and child sit on a silent fountain pool enjoying gentle ripples of water, whispering to each other about the arrival of each and every guest.
Did you know that the resort’s baroque style architectural high roof consists of approximately 1,000,000 roof tiles.

This bell is a reminder to everyone that once in a while, you need to pause, take a deep breath and enjoy what life has to offer. When you hear the bell ring, it is our calling to ensure you do not miss the blazing sun set for the day. Gather around our chapel every evening to witness natures’ farewell to the day and greetings for the night.
26
Our chapel has two stories of its origin. Legend has it down as a chapel built by the local fishermen as a place for worship. But after the plague of the mid 17th century, it was abandoned which lead for its destruction. However historians have a different story to tell. They believe that this Chapel was built in 1613 by Gonsalo Pinto da Fonseca when Bambolim was declared as a separate parish. This chapel lost its prominence in 1616 when a new church was built on Orth de Vigar or Padigaracho Dongor. Our Lady of Belem, Confraria Nossa Senhora De Belem church which is now located on the hill, regularly sees people coming in for Sunday Mass. Until the hotel was built, fishermen still used this place as a safe house to store their nets or other fishing equipment for safekeeping under God’s protection. Till date, locals come to pray at this chapel.
Terrazzo flooring is unique system of tilling that was used in ancient India. Featuring across the resort, this floor style is similar to mosaic tiles, however Terrazo uses rectangular tile biscuits. Each rectangular piece has been hand placed therefore causing some unique imperfections across the floors.

13 iconic experiences in Goa
WE BELIEVE THAT GOA IS BEST EXPERIENCED ON A BIKE. Our advice: Rent a bike, take the road less travelled and you will be sure to experience more than just beaches and party pools. Here is a list of 13 iconic experiences that will have you fall in love with this tiny state of India.
17th Century Chapel
Located on the premises of the resort, legend has it down as a chapel built by local fishermen, but after the plague of the mid 17th century, it was abandoned; which led to its destruction. This is just one of the many stories that has been passed on. However, even today local villagers come to pray at the Chapel before setting out to sea.
Goa by Bike
Goa has a few hidden treasures. Rent a bike, take the road less travelled and it will lead to you to more than just beaches and party pools.

Markets
Ranging from truly local to tourist specials, markets in Goa have something for everybody. From fish markets to night markets - Goa has it all.
Feni
A local spirit distilled from the cashew fruit, your stay in Goa is incomplete if you haven’t had a shot of this very potent drink.
Ferry Rides to the Islands For those that enjoy the journey as much as the destination, take a ferry ride to the islands and explore the winding lanes, picturesque hill top views and charming homes.

Historic Homes & Heritage Walks
Take an immersive walking tour into Goa's past with guided tours that narrate stories of an era gone by. From Latin quarters to some of Goa’s finest Portuguese mansions, Goa is truly best experienced by walking.
