Tucked away in a quiet corner of Dolphin Bay, Ahilya by the Sea is one of Goa’s few properties directly on the ocean. Built as a family home fourteen years ago by the granddaughter of Antonio Xavier Trinidade, Goa’s most famous painter, also known as the Rembrandt of the East, this exquisite hotel is built on the site of the old Portuguese customs houses which guarded the entrance to Panjim.
The property's nine tastefully decorated and welcoming rooms are spread across three independent Portuguese – Balinese style villas made of hand-hewn local laterite rock. Each of the nine rooms boasts stunning views of the sea. They reflect the owner's philosophy of hospitality and understated elegance. Two swimming pools and beautifully landscaped gardens add to the feeling of wellbeing and enjoying the finer things in life.
With its idyllic location adjacent to Coco Beach, Reis Magos fort and church and a short drive from the beaches, nightlife and shopping, Ahilya by the Sea provides the perfect setting for a romantic honeymoon, a weekend getaway or a sun-kissed holiday in Goa.
