Time-honoured tradition and magical moments make for a rich tapestry in this coastal Goa escape
Wake to views across the courtyard, pool or the gentle bustle of Vagator – the distant sound of waves breaking against Ozran Cliff. The pool stands at the heart of the hotel, and for many guests this will be the first port of call. Swim up to Splash Pool Bar for something cool to sip, stretch out on a restful lounger, then deepen the relaxation in the hotel spa. At Zura, bespoke treatments are grounded in Kansa rituals, in a beautifully scented space with soaring Salagaon Hill vistas. This sense of harmony between old and new, Goan soul and a global spirit, flows through to the restaurants. Mila bookends the day with sunrise-bright breakfast buffets and sophisticated suppers, while Suenos de Café is there for all your in-between needs: tea and pastries, coffee and small plates, cocktails and conversation.

The Evren is the gateway to Vagator’s talking points, and boundless memory-making experiences. Soak up the beauty of Ozran, the sands as golden as its sunsets. Trace the trails left by nesting turtles at Morjim and Ashwem Beach, where the mellow waves set the rhythm for days that unfold slowly – and sublimely. Further ashore, you can follow the history of this corner of Goa across cloud-white Portuguese villas, Baroque churches, candlelit temples and cliff’s edge fortresses. A river runs through this region too, and private yacht cruises along Chapora are best enjoyed as the sun dips and the nightlife takes off. Or rise up in a hot-air balloon, watching the zigzagging waterway from above.
Enjoy your stay!
