Ahilya by the Sea

This is definitely the best hidden gem Goa has to offer. Nested right next to the beach, this place offers the best view. I stayed here for one night and really wished it was longer. The staff is super friendly, and chef Avinash is hands down the best - based on our taste preferences he recommended some amazing food options which truly did not disappoint at all. The rooms are very spacious and overlook the ocean. This property has really preserved their heritage and I can’t wait to go back again soon! If you are visiting Goa, please book this for the guaranteed best time!
