Aralea Beach Resort, located on the serene Morjim Beach, is emerging as a game-changer in Goa’s destination wedding scene. A premier property under the Stone Wood Hotels & Resorts umbrella, the resort is quickly becoming the go-to spot for couples dreaming of a beachside wedding, thanks to its unique mix of natural beauty, luxury, and warm Goan hospitality.

As the wedding season approaches, Aralea is going all out—reimagining its spaces to cater to the rising demand for beach weddings. From a stunning beachfront mandap overlooking the Arabian Sea to expansive lawns and an elegant banquet hall, every detail is being fine-tuned. The property now offers customizable décor themes that blend modern elegance with traditional flair, ideal for intimate celebrations of up to 250 guests.

The resort’s 69 spacious rooms, each offering either pool or lawn views, are being equipped with special amenities for wedding guests and bridal parties. Meanwhile, the sea-view restaurant is revamping its catering menu to offer a delectable mix of Goan favourites and global cuisines, because great food is now the heart of every wedding.

“Goa's wedding market is shifting rapidly, with couples prioritizing unique experiences over standard setups,” shares Shikhar Kumar, Managing Director, Stone Wood Hotels & Resorts. “We’ve seen a 40% rise in wedding bookings at Aralea in the last year alone. Couples are seeking scenic yet serene spots like Morjim—not just for their vows, but for the memories they create with loved ones.”

With its exclusive beach setting, away from the crowds of South Goa, Aralea Beach Resort offers a more private and immersive celebration. To match the rise of micro-weddings, the resort has rolled out bespoke wedding packages, complete with dedicated planners, beach logistics experts, and Goan cultural experiences like local cuisine showcases and beachfront mehendi nights.

"Couples are booking 8–12 months in advance, and they’re all about meaningful moments,” adds Abhijit Dey, Vice President Operations & Sales. “Whether it’s a cocktail party with Goan feni or eco-friendly décor made by local artisans, they want their guests to truly experience Goa.”

In fact, eco-conscious celebrations are becoming a big part of Aralea’s appeal. The resort is working with local artisans to minimize plastic and use recyclable materials, all while celebrating Goa’s vibrant culture.

And with Mopa Airport just 30 km away, Aralea is ideal for guests flying in from across India or abroad. Its strategic location makes it a convenient yet exclusive option, especially for couples from metro cities looking for a destination that feels far away—yet is well connected.

As Aralea Beach Resort continues to set new standards in Goa’s wedding tourism, it’s helping shape Morjim into a luxury wedding hotspot that delivers on both grandeur and authenticity.
