Amenities

• Its a rural vacation village almost inherently a creation of physically and mentally agreeable spaces for relaxation, either in privacy or collectively, for distraction and amusement.

• Correa engaged some of Bombay’s legendary film-poster painters like Bhiwandkar embarked upon the creation of a kaleidoscope sequence of visual images, historical, mythical, cinemagraphic, throughout the public spaces of the hotel, unlike anything he has done previously.

• It has reality and illusion through painting and Kasturba Samadhi, platforms and views creating color. ‖Non Spaces‖

Cidade de Goa is full of tasteful, whimsical and ambiguous allusions to Goa’s cultural history, Hindu, Muslim and Portuguese. It imbibes very f ew architectural clichés: the door way with armed guards on either side is purely trompeloéil painting on a free standing wall which has nothing behind it; an open to skycourtyard (one of several) has additional sky perceptible through a painted window with a human silhouette.
