Nirvana (villa)

Home description

This lovely property has recently been totally revamped to make an extremely stylish holiday villa. White marble floors have been used throughout, windows enlarged, walls knocked down to provide French windows and terraces extended all adding up to a light, bright and airy holiday home. The villa is furnished to a high standard with a mix of modern and antique Indian furniture.
The villa consists of an open plan living/dining room that opens out through patio doors on to a lovely shaded terrace that runs the full width of the villa providing additional dining space and plenty of space for relaxing and reading. From this terrace steps lead down into a small garden with a lawn and then on to the poolside only a few meters away.
In and around Cavelossim there is also a wide selection of restaurants offering plenty of choice for eating out. From locally run ones offering the freshest of todays catch to some of the best hotels in Goa where you will find international standard restaurants and evening entertainment programmes.
Why not enjoy an early breakfast at a small riverside shack and watch the sunrise? Don’t forget there is always the barbecue at the shack on the beach too. Here you can unwind and relax and at the end of a hard day sunbathing and watch the sunset over the Arabian Sea. Perfect!
Nirvana is an ideal haven for families or couples in search of peace,quiet and relaxation.

The Goa region

Goa, on the west coast of India, has over 100 Kilometres of coastline divided between secluded bays and golden sandy beaches lapped by the warm Arabian sea. Between October and April there is unbroken sunshine with temperatures that rarely drop below 91F. The pace of life is relaxed. You can spend your evenings enjoying a sunset walk along the beach or a stroll through the street markets in safety.

Although most people come to Goa to relax and unwind there is more to Goa than just its fabulous beaches. Here are a few ideas of what Goa has to offer.

The Portuguese colonised Goa for 450 years and this unique blend of Portuguese and Indian culture is evident in its architecture, mix of religions, cuisine and social structure. There are the colonial old quarters, the magnificent Mansion Houses built at the height of the Portuguese rule and Old Goa, the old capital, built as a testament to the Portuguese wealth and power. There are wildlife sanctuaries, over 400 different species of birds, market towns, a famous flea market which attracts sellers from all over India, designer shops and why not come at Christmas and the Easter Carnival and enjoy some real Goan-style dances. The exuberant Hindu festivals of Divali and Holi are celebrated with as much enthusiasm by this multi-cultural and well-integrated society.

We want to show people that there are many interesting "things to see". Above all experience Goa by being out and about. Early morning and late afternoon are perfect times for catching that magical rural scene of bullock cart and driver ambling along country lanes or the water buffaloes having their well deserved mud baths. Watch the sun rise over the river Sal, stand at Chapora harbour and select fish for that evening's meal, fresh from the boats, go to a village festival or Zatra and most of all, meet the people who are fun loving, generous and genuinely want you to have a great holiday.

Cavelossim / Luisa by the Sea area

Sleepy Cavelossim village is located on a narrow peninsular on the one side is the peaceful, lazily meandering River Sal and on the other 20 kms of powder white sand beach and the Arabian Sea. Imagine a place where you can watch the sunrise over the river and the sunset over the sea - the perfect idyllic retreat! It comes as no surprise that this prime spot has been chosen as the location for several five star hotels including The Holiday Inn and The Leela Palace. The original fishing community is still here and small fishing boats still go out to fish everyday.
Cavelossim is a small typical Goan village with a picturesque church square and a small store and a telephone shop. There is a ferry from the village over the river to Assolna.
There is plenty of choice for eating out as some of the best hotels in Goa are located in the area and each has one or two international standard restaurants plus evening entertainment programmes. There are also a number of locally owned restaurants and there is always the barbecue at the shack on the beach.
For golfers there is a 9 hole golf course at the Leela Palace just 2 kilometres from Cavelossim. The course may be used by the hour at Rupees 450 or by purchasing a pass from 3-5 days ranging in price from Rupees 1400 - 4400 (all prices approximate plus 12% tax).
