About The Clove Restaurant
A Beachside Restaurant with Character
The Clove Restaurant is the signature dining and events space at Summerville Beach Resort in Candolim, one of North Goa's most sought-after coastal stretches. Designed to blend the relaxed, sun-soaked spirit of Goa with the refined comforts of a well-appointed resort restaurant, The Clove offers an atmosphere that is simultaneously casual and celebratory — a combination that makes it a natural fit for a wide range of private and social occasions. The space draws on the coastal surroundings of Candolim, where the Arabian Sea is a short stroll away, lending every gathering a distinct sense of place that few inland venues can replicate.
The restaurant's setting within Summerville Beach Resort means guests experience the full hospitality infrastructure of a dedicated resort property while enjoying an intimate, characterful space. Whether it is the warm ambient lighting during an evening dinner, the tropical landscaping visible from the dining area, or the attentive service that comes with a boutique resort environment, The Clove consistently delivers an experience shaped by its Goan coastal identity.
Events & Occasions
The Clove Restaurant is well suited to a variety of hosted events, from intimate birthday celebrations and anniversary dinners to small corporate lunches, family gatherings, and pre-wedding or post-wedding functions. Its position within a beach resort makes it particularly appealing for guests travelling to Goa for destination events, where the venue itself becomes part of the experience rather than just a backdrop.
The resort setting supports multi-day event formats, with accommodation available on the property for guests who wish to extend their stay. For destination weddings and corporate retreats where a relaxed Goan atmosphere is part of the brief, having dining, accommodation, and recreational facilities in one location is a meaningful practical advantage. Event hosts looking for a venue that can anchor a longer celebration — spanning welcome dinners, daytime activities, and farewell brunches — will find The Clove's integration within the broader resort particularly valuable.
The kitchen team is equipped to handle curated menus for private functions, and the resort's food and beverage offering reflects the eclectic, coastal Goan culinary tradition. Guests can expect a menu that draws on local ingredients and flavours, a point of distinction for events where the dining experience is central to the occasion.
Location & Accessibility
Candolim sits in North Goa, between the lively Calangute area and the quieter reaches towards Fort Aguada — a location that offers easy access to Goa's most popular attractions while retaining a degree of calm that busier Goa hotspots lack. The area is well connected by road, and Goa's Dabolim Airport (now supplemented by Mopa International Airport in North Goa) puts the venue within reach for outstation guests flying in for destination events. Candolim's beach, water-sports facilities, and proximity to heritage sites make it an appealing base for event guests exploring the region between scheduled functions at The Clove.
