Silva Heritage

Tucked away in the serene village of Benaulim, Silva Heritage is a beautifully restored 350-year-old Portuguese mansion that embodies the grace and grandeur of Goa’s colonial past. Its sun-washed façade, traditional balcões, and sweeping lawns make it feel like a time-capsule of bygone elegance.

​

The house once belonged to the Mayor of the Estado da Índia — capital of the Portuguese empire in the east, evidenced by his initials uncovered above the main doorway. The home’s scale and grandeur certainly reflect the status of someone with significant power and influence, and the mansion’s grand past now quietly breathes beneath the twinkle of modern lights.

​

Inside, every arch, tile, and window tells a tale — of music, laughter, and celebrations that have echoed through generations. By evening, as the lights illuminate the yellow walls and balustrades against the night sky, Silva Heritage transforms into the perfect backdrop for an unforgettable wedding under the stars.
