Designed to harmonize with its breathtaking surroundings, this luxurious retreat offers a perfect blend of modern sophistication and local charm. Guests can indulge in bespoke experiences, from gourmet dining featuring regional flavors to rejuvenating wellness treatments inspired by nature.

Araqila, as the name suggests, is a modern-day fortress. A contemporary interpretation of a sea fort perhaps what the naval geniuses of the Maratha Swaraj would have envisioned if they built in our times. Majestic, watchful, and serene, it overlooks the vast Arabian Sea and a pristine lagoon, standing tall yet silent, like a guardian of a forgotten land.
But Araqila is not just a retreat. It’s a portal, a glimpse into the soul of Konkan. A window into lives once lived in harmony with land and tide. Into its rich culture and layered history. Into the wonders of its nature, the depth of its cuisine, and the rhythms of its music, arts, and traditions.
Araqila rises not just to protect, but to reveal, the quiet grandeur of Sindhudurg, an undiscovered gem hidden in plain sight.
There’s a quiet serendipity at Araqila - The spa, amphitheatre, private beach - they exist, but remain in the background. Luxury here isn’t declared; it’s discovered. What truly lingers is the rhythm of the sea, the stillness in the air, and a feeling that takes root, grounding, real, and deeply alive.

Pioneers in the hospitality space, redefining experiences in Goa and beyond.

On January 20, 2023, the Honorable National Company Law Tribunal approved the company's petition for the reduction of its equity share capital, from INR 29,07,08,630 to INR 28,54,56,870. This reduction was achieved by cancelling and extinguishing 1.81% of the total issued, subscribed, and paid-up equity share capital, amounting to 5,25,176 equity shares held by non-promoter shareholders.

Values

Integrity
Integrity will go beyond honesty and ethical practices of having the courage of one’s convictions and standing up for one’s beliefs.

Openness
Openness is understood not just as sharing information, thoughts and feelings and being up-front with others but being a good listener, open to other people’s views and feedback.

Respect for others
God has made all human beings in his image and likeness. Everything we say or do must ensure respect for others and the protection of their dignity.

Fairness and Justice
People in the Organization must believe that everyone will be measured with the same yardstick. The rules, regulations, policies and procedures will be applied uniformly. That no matter how firm we are, we will also be fair and just. That no action will be taken or response given unless we hear a person’s viewpoint.

Self discipline
We must conform to organizational expectations and requirements even though nobody is watching. Nothing ensures discipline like self –discipline. We must walk the talk.
