ENTRANCE
Y
500 years ago, the Portuguese
introduced a unique way of living to Goa.
Steeped in Iberian tradition and redolent
with the finer pleasures of life, this was an
existence soothingly unhurried and
enviably indulgent in its nuances. Now,
you’ll find that same enduring lineage
infused throughout the sprawling
beachfront haven that is Cidade de Goa.
Built in 1982 to a design concept by one of
India’s leading architects, Charles Correa,
Cidade emerges from a hill overlooking the bay
like a quaint, ochre-splashed Portuguese
hamlet. It was a concept that earned
international acclaim for its creator due to its
innovative interplay of space and light as seen
in the cluster-style courtyards, rooms and
overhanging balcaos along with the exuberant
use of colour in its “trompe l’oeil” murals and
painted facades.
Yet amid this enticing cocoon of
Portuguese tradition, the imprint of
modern hospitality and luxury
indulgences resonates throughout
the resort. In short, it’s an
experience that seamlessly
combines the old-world charm of
Goa with the finesse and
professionalism of a world class 5
star resort.
Everywhere on the resort’s walls and open
spaces, pictorial imagery and sculpted
characters add to the aura of history and
grandeur reminiscent of a bygone era. These
include a whimsical trio of Vasco da Gama
statues in the breezy and expansive lobby,
reflecting his diverse facets as explorer,
philosopher and statesman.
