Introduction
Nestling amidst a profusion of flowers and trees, The Aguada Hermitage is carved out of a verdant hillock. Designed especially as a retreat for the Commonwealth heads of Government in 1983, each villa is a perfectly secluded haven of privacy, and has played host to distinguished guests such as Indira Gandhi and Margaret Thatcher.

Each villa boasts an exquisitely designed living room, dining area and bedroom, as well as a garden and a charming little sit-out. Guests can select between our spacious one and two bedroom villas.
Dining
Share an intimate dinner for two aboard the San Anthonea. A "dhow" with so much characters you might just feel you're dining with nobility.
A short walk down fragrant pathways leads you to a variety of mouth-watering cuisines at the restaurants of Fort Aguada Beach Resort and Taj Holiday Village. Indulge in fare that's sure to tantalize a true epicure's taste buds.

Set in the heart of an emerald green lawn, the octagonal shaped hall which seats 55 people are ideal for all your executive conferences. That's business with pleasure for you!

If you need a change from swimming in the sea, splash into either of the freshwater pools at Fort Aguada Beach Resort and Taj Holiday Village. Or head for the golf course, fitness centre, tennis courts, beauty parlour and other facilities while you are a guest at The Aguada Hermitage.
Travel Information
In the local dialect, Goa is often referred to as 'Goa Dourada', (meaning 'Golden Goa') because of its beautiful beaches, forts, churches, waterfalls, seminaries, and caves.
The major beaches in Goa are Anjuna, Claangute, Colva and Benaulim, Dona Paula, Vagator and Chapora, Cavelosim, and many more. Some of the other tourist attractions in Goa include Dudhsagar waterfall and Arvalem waterfall, the rock-cut caves of Khandepar and Arvalem, the Pilar monastery, Saligao seminary, and Rachol seminary. Apart from beaches and other attractions, Goa is also famous for its churches and temples. Some of the leading churches in Goa include, Our Lady of Immaculate Conception, the Se Cathedral, Basilica of Bom Jesus, Church of St. Francis of Assisi, Church of St Cajetan, Church of St. Augustine, and others. Fort Aguada is worth a visit to savor the nostalgia of the Portuguese regime, especially in its lighthouse and the Aguada jail. The Terekhol Fort near the Arambol beach has been now converted into a hotel. The Museum of Christian Art at the Rachol Seminary and church and the Braganza House near Margao are also worth a visit. Besides these, to get a glimpse of the Hindu population in Goa, one has to visit Ponda. The Kerkar Art Complex in south Calangute is also an important tourist center.
