Dean’s property is a beautiful Portuguese-style villa, full of character, with spacious, well-furnished rooms, lovely sit-outs, a dining area and a garden. We stayed in the independent room away from the main villa, which was just as special. It had a balcony and bathroom on the ground floor, with a bedroom in the upstairs loft overlooking the surrounding greenery. The space was thoughtfully designed and very comfortable. The rock pool was a highlight for our four-year-old, who happily spent most of the afternoon swimming. The staff were exceptional, always accommodating and attentive to our food and beverage needs. Our barbecue evening was particularly memorable — a relaxed, lovely experience that made for a perfect evening. The comfortable beds ensured a restful night, and the following morning we enjoyed a sumptuous breakfast. Dean was helpful throughout, sharing useful information and recommendations. Keeping things simple with our little one, we enjoyed a leisurely walk to the river, where we borrowed fishing rods and spent some time fishing. The next day, we took up Dean’s recommendation for a nature trail. Despite the heat, our guide was accommodating and informative, making the hour-long walk a lovely addition to our stay. What we appreciated most was the opportunity to slow down and enjoy the property without feeling the need to do too much. The thoughtful details, peaceful setting and warm hospitality made it a wonderful escape. Highly recommended for couples and families looking for a charming, peaceful getaway. We would happily return!
Everything was wonderful

We spent two nights at The Island Sanctuary and absolutely loved it. The location on Chorao Island is spectacular—peaceful, private and surrounded by nature. It genuinely feels like a little secret hidden away from the busier parts of Goa. Breakfast was fantastic: fresh, delicious and a lovely way to begin the day. If you are looking for tranquility, privacy and a more intimate side of Goa, this is a very special place to stay.
