Introduction to Divar Island

Tucked away in the serene waters of the Mandovi River, Divar Island is a hidden gem that whispers secrets of a bygone era. This small, enchanting island, just 10 km from Panjim, the capital of Goa, is a world apart from the bustling beaches and nightlife that Goa is famous for. Here, time stands still, and nature's beauty is unspoiled. As you step off the ferry from Ribandar or Old Goa, the lush mangroves and the gentle lapping of the river against the shore set the tone for a tranquil adventure. Explore the historic Church of Our Lady of Compassion, marvel at the Museum of Christian Art, and wander through the picturesque landscapes dotted with old Portuguese villas. Divar Island is a place where the air is filled with the scent of green paddy fields, and the sky is painted with hues of a serene sunset, inviting you to immerse yourself in its unique culture and serene atmosphere.

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.

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.
