Property Overview 

Mercure Goa Devaaya Resort, set on Divar Island in Goa, is a serene wellness sanctuary where ancient healing traditions meet modern comfort. Immersed in the lush greenery of five acres along the mystical Mandovi River, Devaaya offers a haven for those seeking deep rejuvenation through Ayurveda, naturopathy, yoga, and sustainable living. The resort’s architecture blends Indo‑Portuguese charm with thoughtful design—indoor/outdoor spaces, verandas, river‑facing suites—all crafted to allow nature in and calm the senses.

Guests begin their journey with a consultation with full‑time Ayurvedic doctors and naturopaths, who design personalised treatment plans including Panchakarma, Shirodhara, herbal therapies and other classic treatments like Virechana, Abhyangam, Basti and more. Yoga and meditation are woven in daily, both in covered pavilions and open‑air settings. The food philosophy is integral: diets are customised, vegetarian/Ayurvedic or sattvic, using naturally sourced ingredients to support healing.

Devaaya is committed to sustainability: the property uses natural landscaping, maintains fruit orchards, ensures low‑impact architecture, provides nature walks, and emphasises holistic health practices that reduce environmental footprint. Leisure facilities like river boating, cycling, village walks, swimming pool, and quiet corners for reflection complement the wellness focus. Located just ~10 km from Panaji, yet isolated enough on its island setting, Devaaya offers guests a balanced mix of accessibility and peaceful seclusion. Whether you’re de‑stressing, detoxing, or simply seeking restoration, this retreat is built to nurture body, mind, and spirit.
