Venue Spotlight: ITC Grand Goa
A Beachfront Paradise in South Goa
Hidden away in a tranquil, unspoilt corner of South Goa, ITC Grand Goa offers the perfect blend of invigorating escapes and intimate, relaxed getaways. With direct access to the pristine, sun-drenched Arossim Beach, the 246-room resort is spread across an expansive 45 acres of lush, landscaped gardens. Its 6 signature food and beverage outlets promise a joyous culinary journey — from the rich traditions of Goa to delicacies from around the globe. Whether you’re here for a romantic retreat, a rejuvenating holiday, or a grand celebration, the resort provides multiple indoor and outdoor venues, making it ideal for bespoke banquets, special events, and dreamy weddings. Adding to its appeal is Kaya Kalp – The Royal Spa, a sanctuary for mind, body, and soul.
The resort’s architecture instantly evokes the charm of an Indo-Portuguese village, deeply rooted in the red soil of Goa. Five courts are linked by cobbled pathways, reminiscent of Panjim’s historic Latin Quarters. Traditional Goan elements are woven into its design — from the palanquin near the courtyard to wide windows inlaid with mother-of-pearl shells, and welcoming balcaos that recall the warmth of Goan homes. These details give the property an unmistakable sense of place, setting a captivating backdrop for any celebration.
As the country’s first LEED Platinum certified resort, ITC Grand Goa ensures that its promise of luxury is matched with a deep respect for the environment. Every aspect of hotel operations is conducted with the aim of having a positive impact on both the planet and the local community. Guests can enjoy authentic, indigenous experiences knowing they are supporting a brand committed to sustainability.
Luxurious Rooms and Suites
With 246 rooms and suites, the resort offers an array of accommodations, each thoughtfully designed to capture the beauty of its surroundings. The Garden View Premium Room overlooks lush greenery from a private balcony with an open bath, while the Lagoon View Premium Room offers breathtaking views of shimmering waters. Pool View Rooms gaze over the free-form, multi-level swimming pool, while Sea View Rooms capture magical Arabian Sea sunsets from their balconies or balcaos. Lagoon View Rooms feature a separate living area for extra comfort, while the Sea View Suite offers a spacious living area alongside stunning ocean vistas.
For those seeking indulgence, the Lap Pool Suite comes with its own private deck and exclusive lap pool, while the Luxury Suite features a kitchenette and sweeping beach views. At the pinnacle of opulence, the Presidential Suite offers unmatched space, a private dining area, and panoramic sea views — the ultimate setting for honeymooners or high-profile guests.
Weddings and Events by the Sea
With 10 versatile venues, ITC Grand Goa has the flexibility and expertise to host everything from intimate gatherings to lavish celebrations. The majestic wood-panelled Salcete ballroom, seating up to 350 guests, can be divided into three sections. Smaller spaces like Colva, Loutolim, Cansaulim, and Benaulim cater to more private meetings or pre-wedding functions. Outdoors, the Magical Forest — surrounded by towering pine trees — can host up to 400 guests, while the Seaside Lawns, kissed by the sea breeze, welcome up to 750.
For weddings, the combination of breathtaking beachside ceremonies, tropical gardens, and pillar-less indoor spaces creates endless possibilities. The resort’s event team ensures every detail — from décor to cuisine — is flawlessly executed, while its responsible dining initiatives use organic, locally sourced ingredients to create memorable and mindful feasts.
