If the urge to escape strikes you, visit Fort Tiracol Heritage Hotel. Once an armed fortress that belonged to the Portuguese, Fort Tiracol is now content to spend the rest of its days on a cliff enjoying the kaleidoscopic view of the Arabian Sea and the spectacular estuary of the Tiracol River. It exists in its own space and time on the northern most tip of Goa. At a glance Set foot in its charmin

Undoubtedly one of Tiracol's strength is the simple fact that you are staying in a former defense fort in splendid isolation. Added to this is all the luxury comfort a traveller expects today. The fort's elevated position and the views it affords from the ramparts are quite something else.
