More about this escape
The Binani family originally built Amaraanth as their personal beach house, which explains why it feels warm and welcoming rather than formal. The gardens are carefully maintained, the rooms are filled with interesting artwork, and everything feels intentional without being overdone.
The property's bar, called The Lab, is led by Pankaj Balachandran and his team from Countertop India. They create drinks that surprise you, mixing tequila with flavors from Goan fish curry or combining gin with amaranth leaves grown nearby. The kitchen takes a similar creative approach, working with farms in the area to get vegetables and seafood when they're at their best. At the spa known as The HVN, treatments happen on a special bed filled with warm water that holds your body comfortably throughout massages and other services.
Itinerary
Day 1: Arrival & Relaxed Exploration
Your driver meets you at Goa airport and brings you to Amaraanth for check-in. Staff welcome you with cold drinks and show you around the property. The afternoon is yours to unpack, take a swim, or wander through the gardens at your own pace. As evening approaches, you’ll have your first bathing experience with warm water, scented oils, and a massage that targets tension in your upper body. Dinner brings out dishes made with ingredients the kitchen staff picked up that morning from nearby farms and fishing docks.
