Taj Resort & Convention Centre, Goa

Enter a cocktail of enviable spaces and modern design. After being greeted on arrival by vertical gardens and an elegant fountain, step into the views, starting with the lobby that sweeps in the Arabian sea. Look above and the boldness of Goa stares back at you, in the form of a suspended boat’s hull. Look around and you discover a resort of plenty. On your left lies the BLD, your all day diner restaurant that’s open for, yes you guessed it, breakfast, lunch and dinner. The extended alfresco terrace is a great spot to park yourself for the sun and sea. It has a formidable neighbour in the form of The Banyan, the hotel’s “Eat-Bar”, which takes its name from a 200- year-old Banyan tree that is a landmark in the hotel. The speciality restaurant C2C offers coastal cuisine from around the world and sweeping views of the waters. A 25m Lap pool, on the lower ground floor adjacent to the Gym and Kids Club, near the stilted roots of the Banyan tree,keeps the vibe easy and the views spectacular.
