Hidden away on the unspoilt backwaters of the River Chapora in North Goa, you'll find natural beauty and serenity you can only dream of. It's where sweeping views of lush tropical landscapes with meandering rivers and magical islands combine with luxury and personal service.

Casa Colvale was originally designed to be a private estate and many of the guests comment on how the hotel has retained the atmosphere of a elegant luxury villa with unobtrusive service and excellent food.

The property was designed to enjoy the incredible surroundings in comfort and you'll find many inviting sofa's and seating areas dotted around the various verandah's, terraces & decks.

Rediscover long lazy days and peaceful nights in an exclusive private luxury boutique resort where you determine the rhythm of your holiday.

Casa Colvale's luxurious bedrooms are all individually styled in a subtle fusion of contemporary and antique south-east Asian design. Natural materials and handmade fabrics and linens that billow in the soft breezes are complimented by original works of art specially commissioned from leading Goan artists. Bathrooms come complete with fine toiletries exclusively made for Casa Colvale by Fifth Element.
