Villa Lakshmira, Parra

Less than fifteen minutes inland from the lovely Anjuna and Vagator beaches are the wooded hills of Parra, which enjoy cool evening breezes and spectacular views of the rivers and ocean below. Hidden away in the rich vegetation, populated by a huge variety of birds, is the elegant Villa Lakshmira, built in Goan laterite stone. This charming home has plenty of outdoor and indoor space where seclusion and privacy are guaranteed.

The patio and other two outdoor sitting areas are pleasant throughout the day because of the shade provided by large trees growing inside the villa's courtyard. Villa Lakshmira in fact takes the shape of a semi circle but has a smaller detached private bedroom and hidden outdoor bathroom just a few steps uphill. It is an exclusive holiday home for those who are seeking a private getaway rather than a grand villa with innumerable staff. A countless choice of restaurants are within easy reach of the house.

Spend the days exploring popular beaches and the nearby market town of Mapusa, whilst in the evening shop at the famous Anjuna Saturday night market as well as the Goan handicraft shops lining the main roads.

The villa is approximately a one hour drive from Goa airport.
