Once a sleepy village whose tree-lined streets were punctuated by beautiful Portuguese mansions, Assagao has now blossomed into one of the most creative neighbourhoods in Goa, reverberating with a newfound, vital energy.

While still holding on to its quaint character and secluded nooks, it is suffused with a spirit of modernity and an appetite for artistic exploration. Serene yoga retreats rub shoulders with experimental restaurants and quirky cafés, while innovative design studios share space with concept stores and boutiques.

Just a few steps outside the tranquil refuge of Inaya Living is a buzzing, thriving slice of cosmopolitan life that is impossible to resist.
