Once an armed fortress that belonged to the Portuguese, Fort Tiracol is now open to visitors in the form of a wonderfully private 5 bed roomed hotel. The location is breathtaking, perched high on a cliff enjoying the far reaching views of the Arabian Sea and the Tiracol River. All the rooms enjoy this view, as does the Al Fresco restaurant. If you wish to visit for a lazy lunch, romantic dinner, or a few nights hideaway, Fort Tiracol will not disappoint. For the more adventurous, the hotel offers a private speedboat for exploration of this underdeveloped coastline of North Goa.
