SERVED WITH SAFETY

Staying indoors for months now has given many of us a case of cabin fever. The simple joys of life have been hard to come by. So when restrictions lift, the one thing that ticks all the boxes is a delightful meal at a stunning but safe restaurant.

Caravela at Taj Holiday Village Resort & Spa in Sinquerim sets the perfect scene to get back out into the world after a pandemic. Its expansiveness, high ceilings, open deck and plush seating reflect the hotel’s emphasis on both the safety of its guests and luxurious service.

From entry to exit, there’s a solid priority on hygiene protocol without losing sight of the Taj philosophy of putting hospitality first. From temperature checks and sanitiser dispensers at every entry point, the Taj commitment to guest experience is unmatched. Subtle tones of fabric line the furniture at Caravela, set far enough apart to satisfy government safety guidelines, while background music enhances the ambience without impeding conversation. On weekends, there’s live music to tap your feet to while enjoying your meal. Out on the deck, the wash of the waves underfoot lends a satisfying rhythm to sundowner chats even as the giant ball of fire dips below the horizon, adding ever-changing splashes of colour to the sky.
