Westin Hotels & Resorts, part of Marriott Bonvoy’s portfolio of 30 extraordinary brands, announced the opening of The Westin Goa, marking the brand’s debut in the coastal state. Committed to delivering on the brand’s foundational pillars of Sleep Well, Move Well, and Eat Well, the new hotel features signature brand programmes that enable guests to maintain and enhance their wellbeing while travelling.
Known as the beach capital of India, Goa is home to many golden beaches that are perfect for those who enjoy the sun, the sea and a lively nightlife. The state however, is so much more than picturesque beaches. It is home to several Unesco-listed churches and convents including the late-Renaissance Church of Bom Jesus; and it also offers a plethora of adventure sports activities, ranging from windsurfing, to parasailing to bungee jumping.
Moreover, Goa is known as a top wellness destination, with several yoga retreats, Ayurveda and naturopathy resorts and meditation centres, making it the perfect home for the wellbeing-focussed brand. The many beaches in the city are also ideal running routes for those who would like to stay active on the road. Guests staying on property will be able to elevate their mind, body, and soul while they enjoy Goa, the Land of ‘Susegad’ (Portuguese for quiet and relaxed pace).
“We are excited to open The Westin Goa in one of India’s premier leisure destinations expanding the brand’s signature wellbeing offering to more locals and travellers. The opening marks the 9th Westin property in India, indicative of the market’s appetite for the brand and its growing presence in key leisure and resort destinations across Asia Pacific,” said Neeraj Govil- senior vice president, operations APEC, Marriott International.
