The new Lagoon Suites are ideal for family getaways and can accommodate two adults and two children under the age of 12. The exterior façade is influenced by Portuguese design and blends well with the newly refurbished contemporary interiors. Featuring a spacious bedroom and a living room, each Lagoon Suite includes a private balcony overlooking the lagoon and a choice of one or two marble bathrooms. The modernised rooms also feature dark wood floors throughout, Indian textiles and Dedon balcony furniture. The Lagoon Terrace Rooms reflect elegance through thoughtful styling. Each of these spacious rooms has a private balcony overlooking the lagoon and its greenery, as well as a garden entrance.

Offering all-day dining with both, alfresco (108 seats) and indoor seating (134 seats), The Restaurant offers stunning views of the pool, the resort’s executive golf course as well as the azure expanse of the Arabian Sea.

In addition to The Restaurant, Jamavar, The Leela’s signature fine dining Indian restaurant has also been introduced at The Leela Goa to complement the existing repertoire of culinary offerings currently available.
