The Sunset Lawns sit inside the gardens rather than on the sand, so they are calmer than the beachfront for a pheras, but still face the evening sky. For many brides that is the best compromise in South Goa: sunset light without the full force of the sea breeze.
The tall atrium lobby is a ready-made indoor photo location if the wind picks up, and Madgaon station nearby suits guests arriving by train.
