Sitting on the prettiest part of Candolim Beach is Aashyana Havelis. Aashyana Havelis consists of a beautiful five-bedroom house and three, two bedroom, villas in an enormous beachfront garden of some 10,000 sq mts with a large swimming pool. Aashyana Havelis is an amazing find for Leisure days. We have always known there was a wonderful house right on the beach in Candolim – because we had been told of its existence many times but due to the incredibly private location we could only dream of what it was like. .
A short walk along a quiet lane brings you to the gates of the imposing 5 bedroom house Aashyana Lakhanpal. Just inside the gates is a row of pretty cottages where the resident staff are housed. Here is also the kitchen garden that overflows produce where much of the spices, herbs and vegetables are grown for the household..
A sweeping circular drive brings you to the main entrance of this two-story house. The front "balcao" has a large seating area in the traditional Goan/Portuguese style and from here heavy wooden double doors open into the entrance hall.
All the accommodation provided by Travelmasti are in the most comfortable hotels/resorts/camps, handpicked especially for you, offering the best stay to make your business or leisure trip, simply 'worth it'.
