Centered around the resort's sparkling swimming pool, this space offers a relaxed and stylish backdrop for a variety of social and corporate events. It is particularly well-suited for evening functions, where the setting sun and ambient lighting can create a magical atmosphere. Event planners can envision hosting elegant cocktail receptions, lively sundowner parties, informal networking dinners, or vibrant pre-wedding ceremonies like a Mehendi or Sangeet. The flexibility of the space allows for creative layouts, with options for setting up cocktail tables, a dedicated bar, food stations, and even a small stage for entertainment. The sound of water and the surrounding greenery add a natural charm that is difficult to replicate indoors. For guests, an event by the pool feels less like a formal function and more like a true Goan experience, making it an incredibly attractive option for planners looking to create a lasting impression.

A dedicated bar can be set up near the pool, serving a range of cocktails, mocktails, and other beverages to keep guests refreshed.
