'Curating not just a stay , but an experience'
Silva Heritage is a 350 year colonial mansion which is a fine example of the confluence of 2 cultures, Portuguese Catholic and a subtle Hindu past. It is one of the few grand houses surviving today . While we have all modern facilities in our rooms, their character remains timeless.
Nestled in the sleepy village of Benaulim, time seems to stand still and you are transported to an era bygone, witness to the classic Goan way of life, slow and easygoing ‘Susegado’. Here you will catch a glimpse of the local baker selling his ‘poi’ and cattle herd rearing the goan water buffalo and if you are lucky the peacock will come calling in the evenings.
The setting is perfect if you want to drift away into solitude, away from the bustling crowds and cacophony of life today.
We at Silva heritage want to offer you a slice of the Goa we cherish and wish to showcase to the world.
This room opens out to the garden . Enjoy the sights and sounds of bountiful mother nature.
This room has 3 lovely little balconies that let you take in the air and is perfect way to unwind after hitting the beach.
This was formerly the master bedroom of the house, pamper yourself in the bathtub and feel like royalty on the diwan.
This room is flanked by the indoor courtyard, which gives it an airy feel although it is right in the middle of the house.
This room offers twin beds and is perfect for individual travellers.
Get hypnotized by your inviting bed, mood lighting that will make you laze in bed all day.
Tucked away in a quiet corner is this unassuming, tranquil room where you can catch up on reading or enjoy a fullbodied wine in the ‘Sacada’.
Enjoy a book as you gaze out the window on the love seat and hear birdsong.

“Booked Silva Heritage as The Groom's House for our Wedding.”
Everything in that house was so well thought through, the old mixed with the new. The place just hits you in the feels really!
The old architecture maintained so well, with a sprawling front yard – is very relaxing.

“A memorable Goa Holiday”
The Silva Heritage is a perfect combination of a warm homely feeling and one of the best hospitality services at a very affordable rate. My family stay in Goa couldn’t have been made better with my family wishing to stay here everytime they come down. A big thanks to the management team for this warm and homely treatment.

"Pat MacGregor recommends Silva Heritage Goa"
Outstanding Goan experience. On our first visit to Goa from Scotland, the Silva Heritage, Cana, Benaulim is a fantastic Portuguese style villa we had a very comfortable, spacious , new renovated room with excellent air conditioning. Every day the management and staff went the extra mile to make our stay a memorable one.
