Resort with a Private Beach in Goa: Kenilworth Resort & Spa, Utorda

There is a particular pleasure in a Goan holiday that begins with the sound of waves, warm sand beneath your feet, and nowhere you need to be.

Set along South Goa's sun-kissed coastline, our 5-star resort with private beach in Goa brings together spacious rooms, a sprawling pool, Myra Spa, and several dining experiences. Whether you're planning a family holiday, a leisurely beach escape, or a few days of doing wonderfully little, the best of Goa's coastal life is right at hand.
