Marriott has expanded its portfolio of hotels
in India with the opening of a JW Marriott resort in Goa.
The new hotel is located along
the picturesque coastline of Vagator, minutes from the historic Chapora Fort as
well as the Chapora and Vagator beaches – famous for their
dramatic cliffs and breathtaking sunset views.
The property is approximately 27 kilometers from the new Mopa
Airport (GOX) in North Goa and 43 kilometers from Goa International
Airport (GOI).

milestone for Marriott International’s 150th opening in South
Asia. It solidifies our commitment in the region and signifies the
trust our owners have in us,” said Ranju Alex, Area Vice
President – South Asia, Marriott International. “We remain
confident in the strength of our brands, our team, and we shall
continue to pave the way for aggressive expansion with our strong
pipeline of hotels.”

fresh herbs grown in the hotel’s
garden, 18,752 square feet of indoor and outdoor event space, a
