ESCAPE TO PARADISE
By SINEAD McMANUS on May 03, 2014
If heaven had a confined space on Earth to be brilliant in, the LEELA KEMPINSKI GOA comes closest with its effervescent hospitality and ultimate luxury on the virginal white sands of Mobor beach in South Goa
Goa gives you rose-coloured glasses to life. There’s nothing unhappy about beachside rejuvenation, the refreshing richness of maturing rice fields or a sheltered hammock amid a grove of
swaying palms.
Cutting off your own corner of the world for a little while isn’t so hard but when you want to add a little luxury to your spot you look for the experts. The Leela Kempinski Goa has carved out its own mini paradise on the shores of the silvery Mobor sands.
Standing amid 75 acres of green sanctuary and fresh water lagoons, the 206 key resort kneads together Goa’s colonial Portuguese heritage and contemporary Indian design with selective quality to create a destination in itself.
The river Sal ambles along the side that is not flanked by the Arabian Sea, as more than 300,000 trees and blue lagoons subtly prove the Leela’s stress on green practices.
THE ACCOMMODATION
Nothing quite spells mélange like Leela hospitality. There’s a twist of luxury added to culture and a large serving of thoughtfulness that hosts you at the resort. With eight different categories and extravagant add ons, you can have your own little dash of pampering whichever way you wish.
