Why Moira? Why Now?

Once a hidden gem known only to locals, Moira is fast becoming Goa’s next must-visit spot—and for good reason.

  • Secluded, Yet Connected – Stay surrounded by nature while being just a quick drive from Anjuna, Vagator, Sinquerim beaches and Mapusa Market. Moira is one of the most peaceful places in Goa. You can opt to stay away from overcrowded hotels in North Goa near popular beaches but yet be close enough to make it to the sandy shores when the mood strikes.
  • Luxury Meets Tranquility – V Escapes’ upcoming 6-bedroom villa (more on that below!) is setting a new standard for high-end stays in Goa.
  • Step Back in Time – Moira offers a refreshing escape from the fast-paced world. Whether you're admiring centuries-old Indo-Portuguese homes, walking through lush paddy fields, or simply soaking in the silence of nature, time slows down here—exactly how Goa was meant to be experienced.
  • Goa, But Make It Serene – Trade neon lights for starlit skies, swap beach crowds for backwater kayaking, and wake up to birdsongs instead of the traffic noise.
