Early 2026 is a quietly perfect moment for Goa – the air still warm, the light gentler, the crowds thinned, and the coast back in rhythm. It’s also the perfect time to experience Karma Haathi Mahal, where a new collection of studio and one-bedroom units has just opened for bookings.
Set within the resort’s main building, these new apartments come with lift access and all the refinements Members expect: luxury furnishings, rich hardwood furniture, modular kitchens and generous balconies designed for slow mornings. The one-bedroom units are particularly impressive, with expansive layouts and two separate balconies that invite both breeze and privacy. Plush mattresses, deep pillows and high-quality bed and bath linen complete the sense of ease.
There’s thoughtful detail everywhere. Original wall art by Goan artist Rajesh Chari brings colour and context, while updated TV systems now offer personalised welcome messages, OTT platforms, and a full suite of Indian and international channels.
Beyond the rooms, Karma Royal Haathi Mahal remains one of South Goa’s most appealing bases – walkable beaches, long lunches, spice-scented evenings and a pace that encourages staying put. In the first quarter of the year, Goa feels less performative and more itself. Warm, welcoming, and unhurried – exactly how Haathi Mahal does it best.
