"Laguna Anjuna is tucked away from the hurly burly in a haven of tranquility all its own. It is stylish but completely unpretentious. Service is friendly and efficient and the food excellent "
There are many good hotels in Goa, many run by Indian and international chains, and "life style" aspirants. Just a few are built in Goa's unique Goan Portuguese architecture.
Laguna Anjuna is listed as one of these.
Even more so, we're proud of the best of our Goan qualities-warmth, humour, graciousness, respect for law and learning, and tolerance to all cultures, while still maintaining our own traditions and simplicity.
One New Year's eve we heard an old gentleman talking to his little grandson as they walked hand in hand to the Anjuna chapel for the midnight mass, while roaring motorcycles and cars heading for frantic night life celebrations shattered the peace of the village.
" The foreigners and tourists have their ways and we have our ways; our ways are our ways, and their ways are their ways. We must all respect each other and live peacefully together."
That man has said it for us. Viva Goa!
Laguna Anjuna was built in what was a field with a grove of many coconut and fruit trees, a farm and a large Portuguese style family country mansion. The award winning architect Dean D’ Cruz, inspired by Sri Lankas Geoffrey Bawa, designed Laguna Anjuna’s rooms around the many large trees, leaving common and private courtyards in spaces.
Laguna Anjuna has been built in Goan Portuguese style and with local eco friendly materials. The walls are of thick laterite stone with carved lintels, and the roof is a continuous one of terracotta tiles on coconut wood rafters and battens, which dips, curves and swoops in graceful lines. With its white lime washed walls, stone and oxide hued floors, Venetian plastered bathroom walls, paved pathways and courtyards, stone pillars and arches, and its trademark high ceiling brick domes, its architectural pedigree is established. Guests are delighted with its huge and comfortable rooms, all in different shapes and individual features.
The interiors feature designer wrought iron furniture and lamps with a bias towards the Bauhaus era. With its graceful Thonnet dining chairs, comfortable Le Corbusier sofas, beautiful stained glass pieces, and other tastefully chosen bric a brac, the place speaks of relaxed style and easily graceful choices.
We would like to emphasize however, that we are built in country house style and living in the midst of a wild kind of natural lush tropical setting-insects, small animals and all. We realize that not everybody may be comfortable with that. Especially so during the monsoon, when Goa sees something like over 100” of rain. People who aspire to the modern ceramic kind of five star or “boutique hotel” may be better off making another choice.
From the airport, Laguna Anjuna is a pleasant 45 minute drive past coconut groves and paddy fields. Its 18kms from Panaji, the capital city of Goa and 8 Kms from Mapusa.
