The plush Alila Diwa Goa’s new bar is a space where the finest spirits are infused with local spices, fruits and botanicals – the result being an exciting, well-balanced selection of cocktails. At the Courtyard Bar, you can experiment by building your own gin and tonic with local herbs, or simply enjoy the setting with an evening aperitif. Soft leather seating and an indoor bar spill out to open-air seating around the majestic banyan trees in the hotel’s courtyard.

Classic cocktails get an Indian twist, such as the Manhattan with Kokum-infused Martini Rosso and Cherrywood Smoke. The food is worth a mention too, with Goa best represented by dishes like Goan Beef Cutlets, Rava Crusted Fish Fingers and Goan Chorizo Dumplings.
