Cidade De Goa

Sun, sand and sea with infinite shades of blue and turquoise, the wind in your hair, the spray in your face. Ride the jet-skis, racing each other and letting the adrenaline soak your system. Or sail out to watch the dolphins at sunset. The Cidade de Goa’s beachfront has an intimate atmosphere about it, and the resort itself is built in the style of a Portuguese hilltop village surrounded by lush greenery. Comfy furniture, artefacts and wall hangings adorn the bedside and sitting areas. Suites have wide balconies and sea views, while the deluxe rooms have private entrances to the beach, which make them ideal for honeymooners. in the evening you’ll be serenaded by some of Goa’s finest musicians as you tuck into an alfresco dinner.

Konkan Mondays. Royal Thursdays, Barbecue Fridays and Oriental Sundays-the fires at the kitchens of Cidade de Goa are kept burning through the week for their the med. dinners. If you prefer something of a Portuguese sensibility, the Alfama restaurant, with its romantic balconies and alcoves, as well as obliging musicians Who will serenade you during dinner, is the natural choice. Feeling too lazy to get out of your lovely patch of sun on the beach? with the resort’s Flag Service, all you have to do is raise the flag attached to your deck bed to order refreshments and finger food. We love anything that so blatantly encourages laziness. But if you’re the more active sort, participate in a game of beach volleyball, hire a jet-ski and zoom away, or head down to the 24-hour casino, Gold finger, to play the fortunes. And then get them told by a palmist at the resort.
