Alila Diwa is a beautiful Balinese-style boutique hotel, set amongst coconut groves and verdant paddy fields, on Gonsua Beach in Majorda, Goa. The resort blends contemporary Goan design with the traditional tile-roofed architecture and the surrounding village atmosphere to create an opulent haven of peace and tranquillity. Situated a bit away from the beachfront crowds, the hotel provides peaceful views over surrounding rice plantations and a serene atmosphere.
There are 153 spacious guestrooms and suites at the Alila Diwa Goa. These are housed within two separate sections of which the Diwa Club provides an enclave of exclusivity, boasting its own lap pool with an open-air Jacuzzi. Goan elements show up in the materials used; laterite stone, clay tiles on pitched roofs, and open-sided corridors that draw in the lush surroundings. However, the big draw here is the infinity pool, overlooking green fields with a rim of coconut trees.
Dining options include the open-kitchen Vivo that serves multi-ethnic cuisine and the Spice Studio, a purely Indian menu. Beach lovers can either take a short walk or a shuttle ride down to the Gonsua beach. There are some restaurants within easy walking distance or visit the Sahakari Spice Farm, where you can have a lunch buffet with a shot of cashew feni drink. One day, leave the beach to explore some of Goa's favourite flea markets and experience Goa's colonial legacy.
