A diminutive state, tightly packed with beaches showcasing a kaleidoscopic blend of Indian and Portuguese cultures, Goa radiates the 60's Bohemian vibe like no other destination in India. But the pint-sized Goa is not just about beaches and trance parties. It’s fairly easy to escape the tourist crowds and find your own paradise in the party capital of India and, this is nowhere easier than at Wildernest Resort, Goa.
Hidden in the Swapnagandha Valley, overlooking the Vazra Falls and with a panoramic view of Goa, lies the Wildernest Resort. Set atop Lasni Temb, a mountain 817 meters high, this secluded nature resort is heralded as one of the finest in the region.
The resort works on the concept of providing rejuvenation to the mind, body and soul, through a mix of yoga, meditation and a healthy, organic diet. No one stumbles upon this resort, which means those who go, know exactly what they’re looking for. Guests come here not just for a vacation, but for rejuvenation of the human spirit.
