A Goan original, long before it became a trend

Writers from Vanity Fair, Condé Nast Traveller and Gourmet were describing Aashyana as a private, design-led escape on Candolim beach years before boutique Goa became a genre. The pieces are kept here as they were written.

“Aashyana is a dreamboat; a modern design in lush gardens, right on the beach.”
Vanity Fair
