Overview

Zen Gardens is a well kept secret - an exclusive resort restricted to only a few lucky owners. With 24 hour security, assured power and water, swimming pool, soon to come restaurant�. and close proximity to the beach, it's an ideal place to relax and unwind.

�Koh-I-Noor� : The Apartment

'Koh-i-noor' is the apartment on offer, which has been lovingly done up by the owners. This is the first season it is on offer to the public. True to it's name, it is a jewel; a 105 carat find. In addition to all that you expect in a holiday apartment, it has a distinct character � which has come alive through the carefully selected, high end ethnic furniture (all the way from Rajasthan!), lamps and attention to detail like natural blinds in place of curtains. The wardrobe is certainly a collectable and you are sure to marvel at the hand painted tables which have been selected for the property. Lots of pretty photographs and memories are certain to go back with you from your stay at this property.

'Koh-i-noor' is on the 1st floor after a spacious flight of steps and comprises a large living room, spacious bedroom with a massive King size bed, big toilet cum shower and a fully loaded kitchen with modcons that you would expect. The living room has a charming ethnic low level sofa, which easily gets converted into 2 single or one double bed for 2 additional adults. This unique piece has been designed by the owner herself. There is also a private balcony from the bedroom, facing the woods.



Zen Gardens � Some Details

Exclusive, beautifully landscaped, secure and peaceful. These are the words that come to mind to describe Zen Gardens. A community of a select few owners, this resort offers you many benefits. With a beautiful raised private party place next to the pool, the pool itself has a separate children's area with steps that allow safe access and exit. There is ample and secure car parking should you decide to hire your own car to move about. Planned for the resort is a restaurant, though there is a wide range of very nice food available from both the beach shacks close by and the speciality restaurants in the vicinity.

Location & area

About South Goa and the surrounding areas




South Goa is emerging to be the preferred destination for travellers who want quality time on their holiday. It offers a lot more tranquil and laid back pace of life and most 5 star hotels and resorts are located here and not in the very crowded and �touristy� north. The more famous true Goan eateries like Martin�s corner are also located in South Goa, just a short drive from Zen Gardens.




A short walk from here is the Benaulim beach, a welcome reprieve from the overcrowded beaches of the North � and yet it offers all that you would expect: local shacks with yummy food, stalls to buy local handicraft, beach activities on offer etc. Colva beach, which is considered to be one of the active beaches of Goa is only a few minutes drive away and is the �next� beach from Zen Gardens.




If you are new to Goa, the apartment comes with a local contact, an expert in the area who can guide you to activities of interest. You will be given his mobile number for any queries.
