Hidden away on the hillside, deep in the Goan jungle, Nilaya Hermitage is an extraordinary getaway, built from local rust coloured laterite stone, complimented with shades of blue and the lush greens of the surrounding forest.Taking its inspiration from Moorish architecture and tales of the Arabian Nights, the hotel has been beautifully designed by the famous Indian architect, Dean Dcruz.With only 13 unique guest rooms scattered around the grounds, this is the perfect place to forget about time and re-discover the rhythms of nature.
All suites have been named and decorated after the natural elements; from the vibrant reds and oranges of the Sun Suite to the soft natural shades in the Earth Suite, each room has been uniquely styled and eclectically furnished with rare antiques from ancient Indian palaces.Fill your days at Nilaya, relaxing by the pool drinking up the hill-top view across Goa and down to the distant Arabian Sea, taking nature walks through the verdant jungle or perhaps opting for treatments at the Ayurvedic spa.
And at night, enjoy the delicious international dishes in the restaurant made from fresh local ingredients and the hotel's home grown produce, perfectly accompanied by a sky full of stars.Hotel FacilitiesSwimming pool with sun terraceRestaurantBarSmall gymTennisDaily yoga sessions (payable locally)Meditation roomSpaWi-Fi13 guest rooms (including 2 safari tents)Room FacilitiesKing size bedAir-conditioningHairdryerDVD player and screen (on request)Shower roomDaily fresh fruit and flowers
