Treat yourself to some soul and body pampering and head to one of these uber-luxurious resorts that not only immerse you in their superior comforts and grandeur but also rejuvenate your senses. With plush wellness spaces, multiple dining areas, private stretches of beaches, and sprawling acreage, these well-appointed resorts will help you escape from the confines of your daily, stressful routines.
Offering 255 spacious suites and 10 luxury villas, The Lalit Golf & Spa Resort, Goa charms you with its Baroque-Portuguese style architecture and traditional Goan design touches. Spending a few days at this charming, luxurious abode nestled amidst well-manicured greenery and having a kilometre-long exclusive beachfront for quick access, is as close as it gets to a dream vacation. Refresh your senses with aroma, ayurvedic, herbal and natural therapies at Rejuve – The Spa or slow down and opt for a yoga routine. Unwind after a fun-filled day at the Jacuzzi if you’re staying at The Legacy Suite or the Villa, or step in the steam bath open to all guests. The resort also features five dining spaces (of which one is a beach shack) where you can de-stress and gorge on scrumptious world cuisines. Sounds like a perfect beach hideout, doesn’t it?
