Banyan trees, palm groves and glorious frangipanis, cocooned amidst this secret tropical forest is the stunning Estate de Frangipani where the natural environment harmoniously fuses with awe-inspiring grandeur. With winding country lanes, beautiful Portuguese homes, whitewashed churches and lush fields all around, Estate de Frangipani has found the perfect address. This is where nature, serenity and comfort come together with our signature aesthetics. From atop a gradually sloping hill, overlooking verdant greenery, you can sit back and relax as you listen to the birds’ chirp and wind rustle.
Influenced by Portuguese architectural style, this grand villa’s sweeping arches, muted earthy tones and plush furnishings accentuate its breathtaking interiors. Find your space in this sprawling, pet-friendly estate spread over one acre. Start your day with yoga on the special yoga deck, a serene spot that lets you get in touch with your inner self. Or if you prefer something more active, challenge your partner to game at the badminton court. The expansive lawn, glasshouse and swimming pool are all set against the lush backdrop of the Assagaon fields.
This oasis in the heart of buzzing Goa is your perfect holiday home, allowing you to relax in splendour when you wish to retreat from the busy lanes of touristy Goa. Sit with your friends in the covered courtyard and spot peacocks before the monsoon or even monkeys swinging between trees. Retreat to the air-conditioned living room when it gets too hot, or a seasonal rain shower forces you indoors. Defined by its double-height ceiling, the chic living room is a great place to spend quality time with loved ones before you devour a sumptuous meal in the dining room.
Immerse yourself in the luxury and comfort of the four ensuite bedrooms, binge-watch your favourite shows in the entertainment room and curl up with a book in the study. Fitness enthusiasts can make the most of the private gym and steam room or get in some laps in the large swimming pool. Head to the terrace to watch the sky put on a show at sunset and pop a bottle of bubbly in celebration of your well-deserved holiday.

Location
North Goa is loved for its beaches, village settlements, award-winning restaurants and live music spots by both local and international travellers. It is located 40 kilometres from Dabolim Airport. There’s so much to discover that travellers feel compelled to keep coming back, year after year. A string of laid-back beaches marks this part of the state. While Anjuna Beach is famous for its vibrant nightlife, Assagao is a quaint village with plenty of entertainment options hiding within its leafy lanes dotted with ancient, Portuguese mansions. Vagator is known for sublime, cliffside sundowner spots where you can spend hours staring at the flaming sky, cocktail in hand. Meanwhile, Ashwem and Morjim are popular with families and international tourists for its flat terrain and gentle waves. Finally, Siolim is a quiet village with historic churches, homes with traditional architecture and a lush landscape
More information for Things to do- Panaji’s award-winning restaurant, Mum’s Kitchen, has now opened doors in Maravilha Resort in Assagao. Owners Suzette and Rony have painstakingly collected grandmothers’ recipes passed down through the generations in traditional Goan kitchens and hired local women to cook them. Bestseller dishes include Cauliflower Caldeen, Chorizo Chilli Fry and Pamphlet (pomfret) Kodi with Poi (traditional Goan bread).
- Ping’s Bia Hoi is a Vietnamese beer garden which stocks fresh, local beers like Eight Finger Eddie and Goa’s famous craft gins, Stranger & Sons, Greater Than and Hapusa. A menu of Asian street food like dim sum and baos, salads and mains accompany the drinks. Drop in for Sunday brunch when the atmosphere is buzzing and there’s a live band playing peppy tunes.
- Goans love their music and there are plenty of spots to catch live gigs in North Goa. Cantares in Saligao and The Rice Mill in Morjim are where you’ll find locals listening to jazz, Toro Toro and The Lazy Goose have great bands playing old-school covers, and restaurant Mahe has funky fusion vocalists.
- Vayu Waterman’s Village is an entire complex of watersports and wellness activities located beyond Ashwem Beach. They offer surfing, wakeboarding, kitesurfing, SUP and private boat excursions. After a strenuous lesson, you can head to their Prana Cafe to sip healthy smoothies, eat local seafood and finish up with some vegan chocolate mousse.
- Culture vultures looking to embrace village life should book a curated tour with The Local Beat. This responsible travel company lets you experience Goa through the eyes of a ‘gaunkar’ (villager). You’ll discover picnic spots, tiny little towns with heritage structures, and an abundance of natural beauty ranging from zorrs (natural springs) to lakes, mangroves and islands.
- Goa’s hills and forests are an undiscovered treasure that you can explore with Khoj-Aao! Adventures, who specialise in backyard biodiversity. The company organises interactive wildlife walks and talks, waterfall hikes in Bhagwan Mahaveer Wildlife Sanctuary and more. Sign up for their backyard nature trail in Assagao, which takes you up a hillock and through a shrub forest and you come back enlightened about indigenous flora, birds, butterflies and more.
- Swan Yoga Retreat is located on a hilltop in Assagao and managed by sanyasis (hermits/monks) who’ve trained at the Bihar School of Yoga. It offers daily drop-in classes for Ashtanga and Vinyasa Flow Yoga and also has a vegetarian restaurant, boutique and library. There’s a spa spread across open clay cottages with ayurvedic therapies, a flotation tank and a herbal steam treatment room.
- The quiet lanes of Siolim are full of surprise gems like Siolim Cooking Classes, located in a traditional Goan-Portuguese house. French founder Lucie Masson starts the session with a trip to the fish market, where you learn to pick the freshest catch and then head to the school premises to make authentic Goan preparations like Prawns Caldine, Chicken Cafreal, Pork Vindaloo and Goan Pulao. The hearty, communal meal that follows is a feast for the senses.
