Laguna
Anjuna Goa is an Exemplifying Goa's expression of its own
ethnic identity. Laguna Anjuna Goa is the country
house style resort which retains the Goan Portuguese decor within
its graceful and spacious environs.
Farrokh Maneckshaw runs This perfectly preserved in grace and space
Laguna Anjuna in Goa's famed Anjuna area better known in the sixties
for its hippie culture, and today for its flea market and beach
parties.
Laguna Anjuna Goa is tucked away from the hurly burly in a haven
of tranquility all its own. Laguna Anjuna Goa is stylish but completely
unpretentious. Service is friendly and efficient and the food is
excellent.
Laguna Anjuna Goa guests in fact are those who
had in their young days once lived in Goa during the hippie years,
have now done well and whn visiting on holiday wanted a bit of luxury
and tasteful living within the traditional style building. So when
you label Laguna Anjuna Goa as a boutique hotel, he does not quite
like the sound of it, but resigns to the branding rather dismally.
Like most true to spirit Goan resorts, Laguna Anjuna Goa
was once owned by a Goan family, the Nunes, who migrated to Bangalore.
The Old Portuguese style house (now the main restaurant)
had about 100 fruit and other trees that have been maintained, and
also had many cows and buffaloes in the sheds.
Laguna Anjuna Goa has the picturesque wooden bridge
inside the property that aesthetically leads to the main structure.
Laguna Anjuna Goa cottages have been built around
many fully grown trees creating little intimate courtyards, some
private and some common.
Unconventionally built with thick laterite stone with pillars and
domes externally, the roof is fully continuous, with wooden rafters
and terracotta tiles curving and swooping to interconnect the various
cottages. The interiors of the cottages have been designed by the
famous Sonia and Thomas of Soto Decor. Wrought iron furniture, exquisite
lamps and mirror frames adorn the suites.
Laguna Anjuna Goa free form pool is large, with
granite boulders and scattered amidst the pool's peripheral are
fragipani, banana and mango trees along with bamboo, grass and other
vegetation, lending the area a lagoon like appearance. The pool
floor is in blue and green hues of oxide, and has rocks and trees
on its periphery. The pool and garden are what together make Laguna
Anjuna Goa an appropriate name.
Sitting on the patio of the Laguna Anjuna Goa restaurant with its
long verandah, one can watch families with children enjoying their
dip in the pool. The verandah patio also provides for those who
want to read a book or enjoy the peace and tranquillity of the ambience.
In the restaurant a glass works and other charming touches like
an old treasure chest that has come from Rajasthan but fits in perfectly
with the old Portuguese Goan homes.

Club Mud has a well defined therapeutic approach to relaxation and
wellness, which leaves one highly energized and rejuvenated. they
specialized in a form of therapy that treats body and mind as one
fluid continuum and feedback system. Through skilled, non- invasive
techniques, the therapist helps you to not only attend to the therapeutic
needs of your physical body, but also get in touch with the natural
fluidity, creativity and freedom of your own life force.
THERAPEUTIC BODYWORK TREATMENTS:
Esalen Style Circulatory Bodywork: The ultimate stress buster. they
start with head and face, and release the key points where stress
is stored. The body is then prepared to receive the luxurious and
soothing strokes of Esalen bodywork . Special attention is given
to lymphatic drainage massage, which boosts the immune and circulatory
systems.
Swedish Style Circulatory Bodywork:- A classic
European type of bodywork using long effleurage strokes and kneading
to increase circulation in the body. This soothing, yet invigorating
massage also helps move lymph , release aches and strains and improves
flexibility.
Ayurvedic Siddha Marma Treatment : This includes Champi
(head) massage, followed by a complete Ayurvedic massage of the
limbs and torso plus applied pressure on various Marma points. Your
pulse is taken to determine your Vikruti (the Dosha out of balance).
they then choose the proper oil to help bring the Doshas or humors
back into balance.
Ayurvedic Head Massage: while you sit upright your
therapist focuses on the upper back shoulders, neck and head. A
rich oil is used, which aids in improving the vitality of the hair
and scalp. The benefit of Ayurvedic head massage is an increased
ability to concentrate and a state of calm, peace and tranquility.
COSMETIC FACIAL & BODY TREATMENTS
Rejuvenation Facial Treatment: with a smoothing yet energizing massage,
they focus on head and face, releasing the key points where stress
is stored, one of the most damaging influences in our lives and
the cause of premature lines and wrinkles. In addition, uneven pigmentation
and insufficient skin care can also contribute to the aging of the
skin. To treat this, they use a product line with a rich blend of
natural ingredients, which helps in giving the skin back its natural
elasticity. With the additional face massage and the treating of
key energy points on the neck and shoulders, our rejuvenation facial
treatment will improve the skin texture and reduce fine lines and
wrinkles, by discharging any unnatural tightness in the body’s
energy system.
Instant Glow Treatment: many wish for a natural
light glow on their faces, as an expression of the radiance of their
inborn beauty. For our instant glow treatment, they use a product
line containing powerful blends of natural plant extracts like palmrosa,
lavender, Indian berberry, chamomile and rosemary, which all help
in decreasing the secretion of dark melanin. Through the gentle
action of these ingredients your skin can regain its natural light
and fair glow. It will also improve the texture of your skin, without
affecting the skin’s natural balance.
Deep Pore Cleansing Treatment: one of the key elements
to a naturally balanced skin, are refined pores. A special scrub
is chosen according to individual needs followed by a rich tomato
mask. Both will be applied to visibly shrink enlarged pores and
refine the texture of the skin. An individualized face pack is then
applied, which contains pure herbal extracts that revitalize the
skin and further tighten the pores. The overall effect is nourishing
of the skin cells and a balancing of their metabolism through added
vitamins and antioxidants.
Anti Acne Treatment: the secret to any successful
treatment of acne prone skin is to gently remove any acne bacteria
and to lower excessive oil secretion. This is achieved by highly
penetrative anti sebum agents. They unclog the pores and dry out
acne and pimples leaving the skin revitalized so that it can display
its natural sparkle.
Anti Cellulite treatment: this treatment involves
a firm massage using a number of strokes over the affected areas.
The products used are based on an effective ayurvedic formula containing
herbal and vegetable extracts. After the massage the treated area
is covered with a hot towel, which helps the skin more easily absorb
the finely balanced blend of essential cypress oil and vegetable
oils like sesame, groundnut, wheat gram, sunflower, ajowan, almond,
and olive. After a series of treatments and additional home care,
dimpled skin, flabby hips and thighs are diminished leaving you
with a slimmer, leaner look.
Mud Pool: a visit to our mud pool (from which Club
Mud gets its name) will provide you the opportunity to enjoy the
benefit of pelotherapy as your skin absorbs peloids, which are a
combination of organic humus and mineral in an earth – mud
combination. The traditional indications for pelotherapy in naturopathy
as well as ayurveda range from eczema and psoriasis to acne and
excess cellulite and also cover several other conditions. For the
healthy person, pelotherapy is a simple way to refresh and rejuvenate
the skin and draw out deep rooted toxins.
Accommodation at
Laguna Anjuna Goa Resort Goa:
Laguna Anjuna offers
Space and Grace in a country resort which is still very much rural
Goa. they are purely a leisure and holiday Resort-no conferences, no
bulk bookings. Our USP is our 2 bedroom cottages with living room
and attached bathrooms, ideal for families and friends travelling
together.
they would like to emphasize however, that they are built in country
house style and living in the midst of a wild kind of natural lush
tropical setting-insects, small animals and all. they realize that
not everybody may be comfortable with that. Especially so during
the monsoon,
when Goa sees something like over 100” of rain. People who
aspire to the modern ceramic kind of five star or “boutique
Resort” may be better off making another choice.
Most bedrooms have double king size beds, please specify if twin
beds are required.
