“Charming villas tucked away amidst coconut trees and lush vegetation. Choose from two sparkling pools with plenty of sun loungers, verdant gardens and a tree-top spa in which to relax. Homely rooms are packed with antiques. A healthy breakfast is served and other meals are on request. Delightful.”

The Hotel Report: Ahilya By The Sea Is 'The' Place
Ahilya by the Sea is thetalked-about property of the moment in India, spread across two converted Portuguese-colonial mansions at the southernmost edge of Coco Beach in Goa. Formerly the private estate of the prominent local Trinidades family, it functioned briefly as a basic guesthouse before being closed last year and reimagined as a full-service boutique hotel, its seven suites awash in the owners’ art collection and provincial hardwood antiques. (Its private chef, who is supremely well versed in the famously piquant local curries, is also in residence.)

Ahilya Fort’s owner opens a new beach house hotel
In Goa, Richard Holkar, owner of the brilliant 18th-century Ahilya Fort in Madhya Pradesh, has partnered with a local family to remake their stunning beach house as a counterpoint to the fort’s bucolic inland setting. Right on Coco Beach, Ahilya by the Sea has eight suites spread across two Portuguese-colonial villas, awash with hand-painted tiles, hand‑laid stones and heirloom textiles; crowds are replaced by quiet villages to explore and fisherman to watch in tranquillity from the elegant lap pools abutting the beach wall.
