If you’re looking for a luxurious escape to ditch the crowds and go big on the chill vibes, South Goa is calling your name. This part of Goa is a haven of pristine beaches, green spaces, and a relaxing scene perfect for anyone who wants a touch of class without the chaos. Contrasted with North Goa’s bustling nightlife and bustling markets, South Goa offers a more laid-back, laid-back vibe – a little haven for those who prefer their comfort with culture and unforgettable food.
When it comes to food, South Goa does not hold back. The area is full of dining options that merge traditional Goan flavors with fresh, modern twists. At the center of this tropical paradise is Heritage Village Resorts and Spa – a slice of paradise where every corner tells a bit of Goan history and provides the perfect setting for a serious culinary adventure.
Say hello to Bonita: the resort’s latest culinary hotspot
One of the resort’s newest gems is Bonita, their signature restaurant that is like a love letter to the palate. Bonita’s lively yet relaxed atmosphere sets the stage for a menu about an exquisite blend of local and global flavors. With a blend of traditional Goan touches and modern decor, Bonita strikes a balance between honoring Goan’s roots and embracing the new future.
On our recent visit, we had the full Bonita experience. The night started with wild mushroom soup—earthy, rich, and the perfect warm-up. Next up were the starters, where the Patatas Bravas brought just the right amount of spicy kick with their tangy tomato sauce and garlic aioli. Next came the rechedo beets and burrata – a mix of creamy burrata and sweet beets, all tied together with a burnt citrus dressing that kept things interesting.
Now, let’s talk pizza! The smoky barbecue chicken pizza was a real winner, topped with grilled onions, charred corn and jalapeños. Smoky, flavorful, and impossible to share (though we tried). If you are a pizza lover, this is a must.
For mains, we tried the Grilled Mushroom Crapo – a fresh twist on a Thai classic in which minced mushrooms, sticky rice, and a basil-chili sauce packed a big punch. But the real star of the show was the grilled lobster spaghetti, tossed in a rich black garlic butter with a bouillabaisse emulsion. This seafood pasta is done right and shows how much care goes into Bonita’s menu.
To wrap up the meal, we went for the Chili Pineapple Tres Leches for dessert. This dessert was next level, with smoky-sweet roasted pineapple paired perfectly with the light and fluffy tres leches – just the thing to end on a high note.
Heritage Village Experience
Apart from the mouth-watering cuisine, Heritage Village Resorts and Spa is a peaceful escape from the everyday.

Heritage Village Resorts & Spa is not just a place to crash – it’s an experience. With Bonita’s exciting menu and welcoming ambiance, it’s a must-visit for anyone looking to take South Goa’s dining game to the next level.
When the sun dips below the horizon and the sea breeze blows through the palm trees, there is a sense that there is something special about South Goa. It’s a place where luxury and authenticity sit side by side, inviting you to kick back, savor every bite, and soak in the good life. So, whether you’re a foodie on a mission or just need a chill escape, Heritage Village Resorts & Spa and Bonita are ready to welcome you.
