About Taj Holiday Village Resort & Spa
Taj Holiday Village is the low-rise, cottage-and-lawn sister of Taj Fort Aguada on the same Sinquerim headland: 142 terracotta-roofed rooms, cottages and villas on 28 acres (Taj) around gardens that run to the beach, with the Moon Deck lawn taking 600 on both Taj's chart and WedMeGood. Families who want the North Goa beach wedding with a village feel rather than a hotel tower take it, often with Fort Aguada's rooms next door for the overflow.
Indoors there are only two small halls, Dialog (50 at round tables / 90 standing on Taj's chart) and Drama (30 / 40), so the wedding is outdoors and planned for the dry months with a tented rain plan. Panigrahana designs the lawns low with the bay and the sunset as the picture, and runs the two resorts as one site when the block spans both.

- Moon Deck lawn: 6,944 sq m, 500 at round tables / 600 floating; Sunset Deck 300; Banyan Tree Lawn 350 (Taj events factsheet)
- ₹3,500 veg / ₹4,000 non-veg per plate published (WedMeGood listing)

A village of cottages and gardens: lanterns, low structures, the sea as the backdrop; light the paths between cottages and lawns. Engineer for the headland wind.

Asked and answered
Taj Holiday Village Resort & Spa wedding questions
How much does a wedding at Taj Holiday Village Goa cost?
WedMeGood shows ₹3,500 veg and ₹4,000 non-veg per plate as the starting price, taxes extra (checked 26 September 2026). At those rates, 200 guests at two functions come to ₹14–16 lakh before taxes. The listing also shows a ₹55 lakh-a-day destination package for 100 rooms with three meals and the venue.
What is the per plate price at Taj Holiday Village?
₹3,500 vegetarian and ₹4,000 non-vegetarian per plate on WedMeGood, taxes extra. Ask the resort for the menu and figure for your date in writing.
What is the capacity of Taj Holiday Village for a wedding?
Taj's events factsheet charts the Moon Deck lawn at 500 at round tables / 600 standing, the Sunset Deck at 200 / 300 and the Banyan Tree Lawn at 240 / 350; WedMeGood adds Dreamers Lawn at 250. Indoors, Dialog takes 90 standing and Drama 40, so this is an outdoor, dry-season venue.
Does Taj Holiday Village have a beach wedding venue?
It sits beside Sinquerim beach, and its published wedding settings face it: the Moon Deck lawn (600 on WedMeGood), the Sunset Deck (300) and Dreamers Lawn (250). A ceremony on the sand itself needs the resort's consent and Goa's coastal-zone (CRZ) permissions for your date, on top of the 10 pm outdoor sound rule.
How many rooms does Taj Holiday Village have?
142 rooms, cottages and villas on 28 acres, per Taj, WedMeGood and Cvent. WedMeGood shows ₹23,000 as its room-price figure. Taj Fort Aguada's 131 rooms, villas and suites sit next door on the same headland.
How far is Taj Holiday Village from the airport?
About an hour and a half, on Taj's page for the resort (checked 27 September 2026), which lists Mopa (GOX) at 37 km and Dabolim (GOI) at 39 km for the Sinquerim headland it shares with Fort Aguada. Book transfers for the whole guest list as one schedule.
Can we bring our own decorator to Taj Holiday Village?
Possibly. WedMeGood's policy panel lists outside decorators and outside DJs as permitted, but the same listing's description says decorators from panel only (checked 27 September 2026), so ask Taj in writing before you brief a design team. Catering and alcohol are in-house only.
What is the music curfew at Taj Holiday Village?
Outdoors, amplified sound stops at 10 pm. The Noise Pollution Rules allow loudspeakers after 10 pm only inside closed premises (CPCB), and North Goa's guidance lists timings up to 10 pm. With the largest hall taking 90 standing on Taj's chart, plan the late party small or move it to a separate venue.
What is the best month for a wedding at Taj Holiday Village?
November to February, when the Moon Deck and Sunset Deck are dry. October and March work with shade. With only small indoor halls, the June–September monsoon is not a season for a wedding here.
Do you plan weddings at Taj Holiday Village?
Yes. Panigrahana Weddings is an independent planning and design studio, not the resort's sales office. We design the Moon Deck ceremony and the evening functions, build the decor in-house and run the programme with the Taj events team. The property keeps the contract for rooms and food. Send your date and guest count and we check it with the resort.
Is Taj Holiday Village part of Taj Fort Aguada?
No. They are separate Taj resorts on the same Sinquerim headland. Holiday Village has 142 rooms, cottages and villas along the beach with the Moon Deck lawn for 600; Fort Aguada has 131 rooms, villas and suites below the fort with the Bay View lawns (Taj). Many families use both: ceremony at one, rooms across the two.
Which Taj hotels in Goa host weddings?
Taj runs five Goa hotels: Exotica (Benaulim), Fort Aguada and Holiday Village (Sinquerim), and Cidade de Goa Heritage and Horizon (Dona Paula). Among IHCL's other Goa hotels are Vivanta Panaji and Miramar, Gateway Goa Palolem, La Estoria and The Yellow House (tajhotels.com, checked 27 September 2026). Holiday Village is the beach-side half of the Sinquerim pair, beside Fort Aguada.
