Ahilya by the Sea is a boutique seaside retreat in Dolphin Bay, Nerul, Goa, offering a serene and private stay shaped by understated elegance and the warmth of a family home. A sister property of Ahilya Fort in Central India, it brings the same philosophy of thoughtful hospitality to nine welcoming rooms across three independent villas: Leela Villa, Sunset Villa and Sunrise Villa, alongside distinctive Banyan Tree accommodation. Guests can book an individual room or an entire villa.

The property features two swimming pools, including an infinity pool and a shaded plunge pool, as well as the Seaside Spa’s massages and therapies. Dining is a central part of the experience, with al fresco meals served in changing locations around the property. The menu combines Goan, Italian and French influences, using fresh ingredients from local markets and offering a daily prix-fixe selection featuring the catch of the day. Guests can also enjoy landscaped tropical gardens and a personal collection of art and sculpture.
