The Poolside Lawns at Acacia Palms Resort offer a lush, open-air event space set against the backdrop of the resort's landscaped gardens and swimming pool in Colva, one of South Goa's most well-known coastal destinations. The setting strikes a natural balance between tropical greenery and resort elegance — the kind of venue where the warm Goan breeze, ambient lighting, and starlit skies do as much work as any décor. Whether the occasion calls for intimate celebration or a larger social gathering, the Poolside Lawns bring an unhurried, resort-holiday character to every event.
The space suits events that benefit from an outdoor, open-sky format. The surrounding pool and garden landscape lend themselves naturally to evening cocktail receptions, sundowners, and al fresco dinners, while also working well for daytime functions that lean into the greenery and natural light. The setting is distinctly Goan — relaxed without being casual, and scenic without requiring elaborate staging.
The Poolside Lawns are well suited to a wide range of celebrations and gatherings. Wedding functions — including sangeet evenings, mehendi ceremonies, cocktail receptions, and post-wedding brunches — find a natural home in this open-air setting, where the pool and garden form a ready-made backdrop. Social milestones such as milestone birthday parties, anniversary dinners, and family reunions also translate well to the informal resort atmosphere the space provides.
For corporate groups using Acacia Palms Resort as a retreat or offsite base, the Poolside Lawns offer a venue for outdoor team dinners, networking sundowners, and informal get-togethers that benefit from the change of setting that only an outdoor resort space can offer. The ability to transition from the indoor facilities of the resort to the open lawns gives event planners flexibility across multi-session programmes.
The venue can be dressed and decorated to suit the occasion — from fairy-light canopies and floral mandaps for weddings to minimal, clean setups for corporate networking events. Event planners are encouraged to speak directly with the Acacia Palms events team to discuss layout configurations, capacity, and the décor and catering packages available.
Acacia Palms Resort is located in Colva, Margao, in South Goa — a location that combines the proximity of a functioning town with the relaxed pace of the coast. Colva Beach, one of the longest and most visited stretches of South Goa's coastline, is close to the resort, making the property a natural choice for guests and hosts who want the full Goa experience without the intensity of the northern beach belt.
Margao Railway Station, the primary rail hub of South Goa, is the nearest major transit point, making the resort accessible for outstation guests arriving by train. Goa's Dabolim Airport (also known as Goa International Airport) connects the region to major Indian cities and international routes, placing Acacia Palms within practical reach for destination events. For guests driving in, Colva's road connectivity through Margao makes the resort straightforward to locate and access.
