About Holiday Inn Resort Goa
Holiday Inn Resort Goa is the lawn giant at the end of Cavelossim: about 1,26,000 sq ft of lawns on Mobor beach that section off for a wedding of 1,500 at dinner, a 5,065 sq ft ballroom for 250 at rounds (Cvent), and about 205 rooms. It is the practical choice for a very large South Goa wedding that wants direct beach access and a mid-luxury rate.
Panigrahana designs the lawns as zones with the estuary and the sea as the backdrop and uses the ballroom as the rain plan and the after-party room.
- About 1,26,000 sq ft of lawns — 1,500 seated / 3,000 floating (Spalba)
- Ballroom — 5,065 sq ft, 250 at rounds / 750 theatre (Cvent)
- Direct beach access on Mobor, on the Sal estuary
- About 205 rooms (listings); Dabolim about 40 km
