Far from being the casual holiday-goer’s hangout, Goa is fast becoming an exclusive holiday destination for the well-heeled. Its popularity in terms of fine dining, boutique shopping, luxury resorts, and sea sports, along with a throbbing nightlife, is drawing weary citydwellers by the hordes.
A pretty cove with a lattice grille And with an explosion in premium real-estate properties dotting the coast, many families want a more permanent holiday presence there. This is where a luxury standalone holiday villa by notable real-estate firm Isprava becomes a necessity. Isprava is a luxury developer that focuses on the design and construction of homes to create sophisticated living spaces. It also believes that true luxury stems from exclusivity That is why each Isprava home is an individual structure standing on its own plot of land, and not part of a large, anonymous gated community. Located in quiet spots in scenic north Goa, near the beaches of Anjuna, Vagator and Ashwem, the luxurious mansions are sprawled across areas ranging from 8,000 sq ft. to 30,000 sq ft.
