The elegant structure of Neemrana’s Three Waters was built in 1907, recently renovated with a façade of exposed red laterite, which contrasts well with the lush tropical greenery. The villa is located in South Goa, in the pristine coastal village of Betul, where the River Sal, drains into the Arabian Sea. Betul is a quintessential fishing and one of the few villages in Goa where no mechanised boats are allowed, guests can walk around small lanes dotted with colourful homes of traditional artisans who can still be seen making hemp ropes, weaving nylon nets and carving tree trunk canoes. Betul truly offers guests a break from Goa’s bustling nightlife and a chance to wake up to walk along the riverbank and start the day with the toddy tappers, fisherfolk and artisans, and carry fish straight from the net.
