Located at a 60 minutes’ drive from Goa International Airport, The St. Regis Goa Resort is nestled in 49 acres of lush greenery fringing the pristine Mobor Beach on the shores of the Arabian Sea. The resort is located between the Sal River and Arabian Sea. The area between the Sal River and the ocean is a paradise for nature lovers, a sanctuary of freshwater lagoons and over 30,000 trees, where the intimate resort blends seamlessly into its surroundings with its confluence of Portuguese and traditional Indian architecture.
Accommodations
The St. Regis Goa Resort features 206 guest rooms including 46 suites offering private terraces overlooking the tranquil lagoons or the golf course.
The even more exclusive Manor houses 20 suites and villas with plunge pools, private access to the beach, and all-day indulgent dining.
We are delighted to celebrate the opening of our second St. Regis property in this enchanted haven in India. St. Regis provides exquisite resort experiences for our global luminaries, and Goa is a special destination where guests will find themselves surrounded by unspoilt nature and infinite sandy beaches. The St. Regis Goa Resort offers a welcome respite, a place where our guests can renew, reconnect and appreciate what is truly important.
