Goa
Silver sands, sparkling blue waters, the sea mirroring the sky below, white churches resting against green paddy fields and coconut trees lining the coastal streets. Goa – a place you can fall in love with at first glance. There’s much more to Goa than sun, sand and sea.

Hilltop
The story began here 30 years ago at the time of the hippie heydays in Goa. Today, with its neon palm grove of glow-in-dark coconut trees, psychedelic art and its vast open playground for Goa’s Spanerse party goers, Hill Top is arguably Goa’s most revered fixture of its still prevalent trance scene.

Antonio
After a memorable stint at the award-winning A Reverie, chef Pablo Miranda returns to his ancestral roots with António@31, in Fontainhas’ Sao Tome neighbourhood. With reverberating Latin music and crowded community tables, the taverna is a throwback to what old Panjim used to be.
Saz on the Beach
Saz on the Beach is for the Gucci Gang who love slick Ibiza-style sofas and order fancy cocktails with avo toasts and burrata ravioli.
