Hilton Goa Resort

NOT ALL WEDDINGS IN GOA need to be beachfront affairs. The sunshine state’s diverse landscape means you also have views of meandering, lazy rivers and lush green hills. This hilltop property is located in the middle of buzzing North Goa, yet away from the hustle and bustle, overlooking the Nerul River and terraced slopes of Saipem Hills. Perfect for weddings, the 104-room property is a contemporary oasis that retains traditional Indo-Portuguese elements. The event spaces can be customised to your liking, be it a flamboyant affair or something more intimate, such as a bridal shower. Raise a toast to new beginnings by the poolside with a stunning sunset for company, say ‘I do’ in one of the breezy lawns set against panoramic vistas or book the grand ballroom ideal for the reception.

The accommodation offers views of the river and hills, while the pretty Riverview Suite with its private plunge pool is perfect for a celebratory occasion. A team of chefs can rustle up specialties that range from traditional Goan fare to international favourites. There’s also Indian cuisine and more for an inlcusive wedding spread! itchotels.com/in/en/itcgrandgoa-goa
