The St. Regis Goa Resort has been honoured with the title of Best Luxury Resort at the prestigious FICCI Travel & Tourism Excellence Awards 2026, recognising the resort’s continued evolution as one of India’s most exceptional luxury destinations.
Set across 49 acres of lush greenery, waterways, lagoons, and landscaped serenity, with access to one of South Goa’s most pristine beaches, the resort has consistently redefined destination luxury through a blend of nature, design, personalised service, and elevated experiences.
This latest recognition comes at a time of meaningful transformation for the resort, marked by a series of enhancements, reimaginings, and new guest experiences that have further strengthened its position within India’s luxury hospitality landscape.
Among its most notable recent unveilings is the reimagined Presidential Villa — an expansive statement in bespoke luxury that brings together privacy, contemporary elegance, signature St. Regis service, and a deeply immersive sense of place inspired by Goa’s cultural richness. Designed for the discerning global traveller, the villa represents a new benchmark in ultra-luxury accommodation in the region.
The resort has also continued to refine its suite offerings, ensuring that each stay reflects residential comfort, timeless sophistication, and intuitive service.
Its culinary journey remains central to the guest experience. From the celebrated flavours of Oliveto, where authentic Italian cuisine is elevated through refined craftsmanship, to Miri, which offers vibrant global flavours in an elegant all-day dining setting, the resort continues to expand its gastronomic reputation. Each venue is designed not merely as a restaurant, but as a destination within the destination.
Beyond dining and accommodation, The St. Regis Goa Resort is known for curating memorable rituals and signature moments that transform a stay into an experience. From the iconic St. Regis Evening Ritual, where sabering and celebration mark the transition from day to night, to personalised butler service, wellness journeys, riverside serenity, and immersive family experiences, every detail is crafted with intention.
The property’s rare combination of expansive natural beauty, direct beach access, luxury service, and evolving experiences continues to distinguish it from conventional resort stays. Whether through quiet moments overlooking lagoons, championship golf access, wellness escapes, or destination celebrations, the resort offers a scale and depth few can match.
“We are honoured to receive the award for Best Luxury Resort at the FICCI Travel & Tourism Excellence Awards 2026. This recognition reflects not only the beauty of our destination but the relentless dedication of our team and our commitment to continuously elevating the guest experience.
Over the past year, we have focused on meaningful enhancements — from reimagined suites and elevated culinary experiences to personalised rituals and thoughtful service touches that define The St. Regis legacy. We are proud to represent Goa on a national stage and grateful to our guests for their continued trust.” — Arun Vishnu, General Manager – The St. Regis Goa Resort
This accolade reinforces The St. Regis Goa Resort as one of India’s leading luxury resorts — where nature, innovation, and timeless elegance meet.
