Solace from city life


Adding a feather to the State’s tourism landscape with a focus on driving quality tourism to Goa, Andores Resort & Spa makes a sparkling entry. Designed by its Managing Director, Edgar Afonso and his team, who has been profiled extensively in  Architecture and Design magazines in India for his passion for luxury houses. With a taste for nostalgia, a keen eye for the classic, and an acute attention to detail, Afonso  brings together a fusion element of old sophistication and traditional Goan-Portuguese architecture, set in a natural co-existence of the new world contemporary. Art decor design elements meet Mediterranean influences, drawn from his travels across the globe.

Set on a lush two acre property, Andores Resort & Spa offers 25 spaciously designed rooms, each overlooking the stunning pool of azure blue, set against verdant landscaped gardens, art deco collection, and calm coconut groves, giving the holiday seeker a sense of a nostalgic Goan village. 

Born out of Goa’s long tradition of welcoming guests from around the globe, other facilities offered at the property is a fine dining restaurant set in a courtyard called“Cinnamon.”Designed to be intimate and comfortable, matching the eclectic and cosmopolitan vibe that has made Goa famous, the restaurant offers a complete dining experience that showcases the diverse Goan culinary culture of this beautiful paradise. In the European gourmet, DIVA by celebrity Chef Ritu Dalmia showcases the very nuances of fine Italian cuisine that has won the brand several culinary awards in India and abroad.

Two outdoor venues add for lavish private gatherings or destination weddings. An eclectic Pop Up store with handpicked arts and crafts that resonate with the Andores state of mind, makes for mood shopping. And The Lounge for quiet conversations, or, reading getaways with books on art, travel, heritage and design at the library.

The Kera Spa housed in a typical Saraswat Goan home setting offers Ayurveda inspired by eastern, western and signature treatments, designed to help guests relax, refresh and rejuvenate. Including Yoga sessions by local experts, and a state-of-the-art in-house Gymnasium to foster healthy living, even on holidays.
