It's a well-known fact that Goa is famous for its stunning beaches adorned with vibrant bars and restaurants. You might be wondering why I'm stating the obvious, but there comes a time in Goa when we all crave a respite from the party scene, seeking solace in a place we can temporarily call home.
The Goan spirit thrives on its laid-back lifestyle, and that's precisely what you should indulge in during your next visit to Goa. There's no better way to embrace this than by unwinding beside the river in a charming homestay. Step away from the hustle and bustle and find serenity in the recently opened villa known as "Moira on the River."
About Moira On The River:
Moira on the River stands as a stunning two-story property nestled in the heart of Moira. This 18,000-square-foot villa boasts a picturesque yellow and white exterior, complete with a traditional Mangalorean-tiled roof, seamlessly blending the charm of Portuguese colonial-style architecture with modern interiors.

About the hosts:
The villa is owned by Shailendra and Sandhya Agarwal, who have poured their passion and dedication into crafting this remarkable property. However, the management of this luxurious villa and cafe is skillfully overseen by Baneen and Rohit.
Balancing their time between their residence in Gurgaon and their son's home in Mumbai, they warmly welcome people to come and share in the experience of their splendid property.
