Marriott International Inc has signed an agreement with Ceres Hotels, a subsidiary of Metrod Holdings Berhad to bring the St Regis brand to Goa.

Slated to open in October 2022, the St. Regis Goa Resort is expected to serve as the ninth Marriott International hotel in Goa, following a strategic conversion of The Leela Goa.

The resort will undergo a complete transformation in phases, starting in 2022.

Spread across 49-acre, The St Regis Goa Resort is located on Mobor Beach, a prime beachfront location in South Goa. The property would boast of 206 luxurious guestrooms, suites and villas and is set to showcase a variety of culinary venues, including five specialty restaurants.

The resort is expected to offer recreation and leisure facilities, which will include a well- equipped fitness centre, three swimming pools, a children’s club, tennis courts, and a 12-hole golf course. Plans also call for a signature St. Regis Spa, which will offer guests a range of bespoke treatments and experiences.

With an anticipated 1,183 square meters of meeting space, and an additional 1,000 square meters of expansive function lawns overlooking the Mobor beach, guests can expect modern, multi-purpose venues, suited to host weddings, socials, meetings and conventions.
