Luxury Resort Collection Launches in South Goa: Top Picks & Reviews

The Luxury Collection has opened its 13th property in India: ITC Grand Goa, a Luxury Collection Resort & Spa, situated in Cansaulim in South Goa.

According to Anthony Ingham, global brand leader for The Luxury Collection, the launch of ITC Grand Goa represents an important milestone in the brand’s long partnership with ITC. This property is not only the group’s thirteenth hotel in India but also its first beach resort in South Asia. Goa’s famed coastline and its unique fusion of Indian and Portuguese culture, architecture and cuisine make the destination a natural fit for The Luxury Collection’s portfolio.

Located roughly a 30-minute drive from Goa International Airport, the resort’s guestrooms and suites each include a balcony or patio that overlooks the Arabian Sea, serene lagoons or lush gardens, offering guests a variety of coastal and tropical vistas.

Dining options at the resort span six distinct venues. Kebabs & Kurries presents traditional Indian specialties, while Tempero focuses on authentic Goan dishes. Ottimo delivers regional Italian fare, and Pavilion at the Market Place serves as an all-day dining destination with international selections. The Royal Afghan offers a seaside grill experience, and Farol operates as a multilevel poolside bar for relaxed drinks and light bites.

Kaya Kalp, The Royal Spa provides an extensive wellness experience with 16 spa suites across 36,000 square feet. The spa’s treatment menu combines time-honored Indian therapies with international techniques to create a comprehensive program of relaxation and rejuvenation.

With its beachfront setting, diverse dining program and expansive spa facilities, ITC Grand Goa aims to showcase the coastal character and cultural richness of Goa while offering The Luxury Collection’s signature standards of service and design.
