In 1996, we bought an old farm house in Assagao's Valley of Flowers, a serene setting with a generous garden filled with mango, teak and coconut palms.

If the urge to escape to the ends of the earth strikes you, visit Fort Tiracol Heritage Hotel. It exists in its own space and time on the northernmost tip of Goa.

Situated in Divar Island, just 10 kms from Panaji, Devaaya Ayurveda and Nature Cure Centre is set on a lush five acre property amidst swaying palms. Devaaya consists of 60 luxurious rooms built in true Goan style cottages. The ambience, serenity with only the sound of the trees and the birds makes Devaaya a piece of paradise.
