Alila Diwa Goa

A cricket pitch on the grounds sets the tone at this boutique luxury resort on the Goan coast, where the pace is deliberately unhurried. Alila's signature shows throughout: infinity pools, crisp contemporary rooms with deep soaking tubs, and pitched-roof architecture that nods to the local vernacular without overdoing it. The Arabian Sea is a short walk through plantation land, and most rooms come with a terrace to observe it from a distance first.
