Blending soulful heritage with modern luxury, Brij Hotels adds a charming new address to its boutique portfolio with the launch of Brij Paraiso—a tranquil retreat tucked away in the heritage-rich village of Saligao, North Goa.
In a destination known for its buzzing beach resorts and vibrant nightlife, Brij Paraiso offers a refreshing contrast. This nine-room boutique hideaway invites travellers to experience the slower, more authentic side of Goa—one where winding village lanes, Portuguese-era architecture, and lush green surroundings create a setting that feels more like a home than a hotel.
Born from a thoughtful restoration of a 25-year-old Indo-Portuguese villa, the property is the result of a creative collaboration between Brij Hotels and Aditya Gupta. Together, they’ve preserved the original charm of the space while infusing it with contemporary comforts, true to the brand’s ethos of storytelling through spaces rooted in culture and community.
Secluded Yet Central: A Perfect Goa Base
Located just 10–15 minutes from Goa’s most popular beaches—Calangute, Candolim, and Baga—Brij Paraiso is close enough to the buzz but far enough to offer calm. It sits quietly in a serene, forested residential neighbourhood, inviting guests to unwind, reconnect, and explore at their own pace.
Each of the nine uniquely designed rooms is named after a Goan village and comes with signature touches—handmade local treats delivered daily, a complimentary minibar stocked with artisanal refreshments, and large verandas or windows that open into gardens or courtyards. Interiors draw heavily from Portuguese-Goan architecture, featuring arched doorways, vintage tiles, earthy color palettes, and natural linens that breathe in Goa’s tropical air.
A Curated Stay Rooted in Local Culture
Beyond just aesthetic appeal, Brij Paraiso crafts a deeply personal hospitality experience—ideal for intimate leisure travel, creative offsites, or boutique event getaways. The property offers:
- An outdoor swimming pool tucked amidst greenery
- Spa services for wellness-led holidays
- Cozy common lounges and garden courtyards are perfect for unwinding
- Free bicycles for slow exploration of nearby areas
- Yoga mats in every room, with the option to join sunrise beach sessions
- Daily housekeeping, free parking, concierge services, and thoughtful in-room amenities
Guests can also look forward to authentic Goan cuisine, prepared using fresh, locally sourced ingredients by in-house chefs.
Experiences That Go Beyond the Ordinary
At Brij Paraiso, the journey extends beyond the property gates. In classic Brij fashion, the hotel curates immersive experiences that allow guests to engage with the local culture, nature, and flavours of Goa:
- Saligao Village Saunter: A walking tour ending in high tea at a heritage Indo-Portuguese home
- Feni Tasting Experience: Learn about Goa’s beloved spirit and its traditional distillation
- Birdwatching at Agacaim Mudflats: Guided by a naturalist, followed by breakfast at a local café
- Succoro Plateau Picnic: Scenic trails, cold breakfast, and fresh-brewed coffee outdoors
- Pizza Making Sessions in a rustic outdoor oven with the in-house chef
- Goan Spice Mix Class, where guests learn to make local blends like Xacuti and Recheado
- Private Candlelight Dinners by the pool or on the terrace with custom-curated menus
A Boutique Escape for the Discerning Traveller
With just nine rooms, Brij Paraiso offers more than just privacy—it offers presence. In an age of fast-paced tourism, the property stands as a reminder that true luxury lies in slowing down, in discovering forgotten lanes, and in hearing the stories behind every corner.
Whether you’re looking to retreat, reconnect, or rediscover the real Goa, Brij Paraiso is the kind of place that lingers in your memory long after the vacation ends.
