Time moves differently in Goa. With skies that turn gold at dusk and the scent of sea breeze mingling with stories untold, every day feels like a celebration.
Nestled just moments away from the heart of Anjuna, The Westin Goa has been at the centre of these magical moments for four years—offering an experience where spirited energy meets refined sophistication.
This April, the Marriott hotel in North Goa commemorated its fourth anniversary with a week-long celebration from April 21 to 30, 2025, inviting guests to dive into the very soul of Goa. The theme was simple yet profound—Celebrate the Journey, Embrace the Indulgence.
Beyond its world-class amenities and tranquil location, The Westin Goa has crafted a reputation for curating experiences that connect travellers to the true essence of Goa.
From a kayaking adventure to a private island, to fishing and crab catching followed by a cooking session, and heritage walks through Fontainhas, each activity is thoughtfully designed to celebrate local culture and foster authentic connections.
Guests can also explore Divar Island’s untouched charm, a hidden jewel that remains off the typical tourist trail. These curated experiences in Goa allow visitors to see the state in a new light—beyond the beaches and into the heart of its vibrant heritage.
The anniversary celebration also introduced a unique food trail across the hotel’s four signature dining venues:
Drift: Where expertly-crafted cocktails and sea views set the stage for sundown magic.
The Market: A breezy venue offering starters by the lotus pond, inspired by fresh, local produce.
Tao & Anise: A Pan-Asian culinary escape in a chic glasshouse setting.
Anjuna Coffee & Co: A sweet finale with desserts and artisanal coffee in a cosy patisserie.
Guests were able to enjoy a specially-designed menu that united all venues, allowing them to taste the spirit of The Westin Goa, one plate at a time.
As General Manager Harish Gopalakrishnan shared, “Behind every warm smile is a team that works with passion, empathy, and a shared mission to create unforgettable memories. This magic isn’t by chance—it’s built on trust and belonging.”
Whether you were a first-time visitor or a long-time loyalist, this milestone celebration was a chance to rediscover Goa through the lens of luxury hospitality, immersive travel and wellness at The Westin Goa.
