Accor has partnered with Dangayach Group to develop two new luxury hotels in Goa, India: Raffles Goa Shiroda, featuring 120 luxury villas, and the 400-room Fairmont Goa Shiroda. Scheduled to open by 2030, both hotels will share a beachfront club and offer unique experiences reflecting the brands’ distinct identities.
Both hotels will feature a variety of dining options, wellness and fitness facilities, pools, and retail offerings. For events, weddings, and conferences, the properties will provide multi-purpose ballrooms, meeting rooms, and bridal suites.
Raffles Goa Shiroda will showcase the brand’s signature features such as the Long Bar and Raffles’ Butler Service, while Fairmont Goa Shiroda will focus on connecting guests to the destination through personalised experiences and special moments.
Both properties will be developed according to Accor’s ESG guidelines, adhering to energy performance reporting tools, sustainability standards, and third-party eco-certifications.
Accor remains committed to expanding its presence in India, having recently opened several new hotels, including Raffles Jaipur, Grand Mercure Goa Candolim, Mercure Chandigarh, ibis Styles Mysuru, and Novotel Goa.
Raffles and Fairmont’s CEO Omer Acar commented: “This dual-branded project presents a wonderful opportunity to grow our luxury hospitality offerings in the region, and to work with Dangayach Group. Together, we are confident that these new luxury resorts will add excitement and new frontiers for travellers as well as locals.”
“We believe Goa presents a remarkable growth opportunity, and these two new properties are set to redefine luxury and establish Goa as a premier global destination for weddings, events and leisure travel. Goa’s rich culture and natural beauty provide the perfect setting for this new chapter in hospitality. The new Raffles and Fairmont resorts will bring cultural authenticity, world-class service, and their extraordinary guest experiences that will not only put an international spotlight on Goa but will infuse the community with a sense of prestige, purpose and excitement,” said Atul Dangayach, managing director, Dangayach Group.
