Shortcut

Visit Villa Alina, a gorgeous six-bedroom ancestral home in Calangute, for a different kind of Goa experience. Perfect for large groups of individuals to rent out a space and party together.

What Is It?

A beautiful ancestral home built in 1926, Villa Alina is located on the busy Calangute beach. However, you wouldn’t know it if you were staying there. A little oasis of calm in the middle of the human storm that rages on either side, the Portugese villa is surprisingly private and insular.

The Space

Enter the Villa Alina and find six luxurious en-suite bedrooms welcoming you with endearing antique furniture and comfortable furnishings. It consists of a main house and a beach house, and is just a short four-minute walk from the sea.

There are four large bedrooms in the main house, which can comfortably sleep 10 guests. The beach house has the remaining two double bedrooms and fits a further four guests. The villa can only be rented out to one party, and they do not rent individual rooms.

The Stay

Expect a fully equipped kitchen with granite worktops, a washing machine, dishwasher, microwave and fridge. The lounge, at the centre of the house, is decked out with a satellite TV {so you don’t miss a match while on holiday}, an iPod dock, sound system and more electronic accessories, making it the perfect area for everyone in the group to hang out.

The two nicest spots to relax are the lovely outdoor veranda and the balcony. The veranda has a very large dining table, overlooking the pool, and is the communal dining area. The balcony is accessible from a small, spiral staircase and is the best place to catch the sunset every evening. There is also an infinity pool {with a pool bar!} and a lazing cabana. The villa does a great job of balancing the old and the new, the traditional and the modern.

Anything To Remember?

You can only book out the villa in a group; whether it is two guests or 10, the space will be all yours. There is a refundable deposit due at the beginning of every rental, and a minimum stay of four nights is required.
