Divar Island
Imagine a place where time seems to have taken a gentle pause, where the air is filled with the sweet scent of blooming flowers and the soft rustle of palm trees swaying in the breeze. Welcome to Divar Island, a hidden gem nestled in the Mandovi River, just a stone's throw from Panjim, Goa's capital. This tiny island, spanning about 5 square kilometers, is a tapestry of rich history, vibrant culture, and breathtaking scenery.As you step off the ferry, you're greeted by picturesque villages like Piedade, Malar, and Naroa, each with its own unique story to tell. The winding roads are lined with vintage Portuguese villas, their verandas and balustrades a testament to a bygone era. The landscape is dotted with ancient temples and churches, including the stunning Our Lady of Compassion Church perched on a hillock, offering panoramic views of the river and the lush green paddy fields below.Divar Island is not about bustling beaches or nightlife; it's about immersing yourself in the authentic Goan countryside. Here, you can witness the vibrant festivals of Bonderam and Potekar, indulge in local delicacies, and experience the laid-back 'Susegad Goenkar' lifestyle. It's a place where nature reveals its beauty, and every moment feels like a tranquil escape from the world.

Amazing Service
Had a wonderful time at the resort. Staff were very welcoming and rooms were clean. We were fortunate enough to have rooms overlooking the river which was stunning. It was amazing to be so close to nature. The resort itself has a good amount of activities such as fishing, games, painting and more. The buffet style breakfast was lovely too with a good variety of foods. Overall a great stay. Would 100% recommend to people.
Amazing Service
Nice cloud covered hills around. We had a wonderful time fishing and relaxing. We enjoyed the activity and the breakfast buffet was great. Looking forward to coming back soon.
Average Service
The overall experience was good except the dining; the buffet should also focus a little bit on South Indian cuisine. Housekeeping required multiple follow-ups, and when I checked in, basic amenities were missing. I tried to reach for water at night and got it only on the next morning.
