Brij Hotels has announced the signing of a new coastal resort in Sindhudurg, marking the brand’s thoughtful expansion into one of India’s most untouched and evocative shorelines. Located just north of Goa, the upcoming property reflects Brij’s continued focus on destinations that offer privacy, authenticity, and a deep sense of place.

The resort is strategically positioned a short drive from MOPA International Airport and just 15 minutes from Sindhudurg Airport, ensuring easy access while remaining beautifully secluded. Set along a pristine white-sand beach, Brij Sindhudurg will feature private beachfront villas designed to blend seclusion with the effortless rhythm of slow luxury.

Guests will be able to step directly onto the sand from their villas and experience the coastline through carefully curated, nature-led activities. These include early-morning dolphin sightings, guided snorkelling in clear coastal waters, and quiet water-based journeys that highlight the region’s rich marine life.

Evenings at the resort will unfold with intimate beachside dining experiences, where locally inspired coastal delicacies are prepared simply and enjoyed against the sound of the waves. Cultural encounters will form a key part of the stay, bringing Sindhudurg’s soul to life through interactions with local communities, regional storytelling, and traditions deeply rooted in the Konkan way of life.

Intimate in scale and soulful in design, Brij Sindhudurg promises a rare and romantic escape that remains closely connected to its surroundings and the unspoilt charm of the region.

Commenting on the signing, Udit Kumar, Co-Founder of Brij Hotels, said, “Sindhudurg represents everything Brij stands for today, quiet luxury, privacy, and a sense of discovery. This is a coastline that has remained beautifully untouched, and our intent is to preserve that essence while creating a deeply romantic and immersive retreat. With Brij Sindhudurg, we’re not just adding a destination, but opening a new chapter in how luxury coastal travel is experienced in India.”

The signing reinforces Brij Hotels’ strategy of expanding into raw, aspirational, and largely undiscovered destinations, offering guests rare access to landscapes untouched by mass tourism while delivering understated luxury and meaningful travel experiences.

Palma Beach Resort has opened along the tranquil shoreline of Ashwem Beach, bringing a thoughtfully designed boutique hideaway to one of Goa’s most peaceful coastal stretches. Rooted in a natural and minimal aesthetic, the resort draws inspiration from its lush surroundings and the gentle rhythm of the sea, offering guests a calm space to slow down and reconnect.

Set amid swaying palm trees and open skies, Palma reflects a quieter side of Goa where days unfold at an unhurried pace. From mornings that begin with the sound of waves to evenings softened by sea-lit sunsets, the resort encourages mindful living built around ease, comfort, and connection with nature.

Ashwem Beach holds a special place in Goa’s coastal story. Once an untouched stretch of sand known only to those seeking solitude, the area has evolved over time while retaining its peaceful essence. Guided by this spirit, the founders designed Palma with deep respect for the land, shaping the resort around the existing landscape rather than altering it.

Rows of palm trees mark the entrance to Palma, leading guests through shaded pathways, quiet corners, and welcoming spaces that naturally invite relaxation. The resort offers four categories of rooms and private cottages, each created with warm textures, soft colour palettes, and ample natural light. With the beach just steps away, guests can enjoy uninterrupted quietude in spaces that feel personal and inviting.

Every element of the resort reflects Goa’s timeless coastal character. The design philosophy remains focused on simplicity, comfort, and harmony with nature, allowing the surroundings to take centre stage.

“Palma comes from our long-standing love for Ashwem. Our intention was always to let Goa be simply the way it is, natural, unhurried, and deeply connected to its landscape. We hope every design choice, every flavour, and every experience here reflects that simplicity and soul,” said Nirvane Jain, Brand Director and Partner, Palma Beach Resort.

Adding to the experience is Ashwe 351, the resort’s in-house restaurant set along the shore. Led by chefs Sumera and James, whose combined culinary journeys span India and international kitchens, the restaurant brings together regional favourites and coastal classics with thoughtful execution. The menu flows effortlessly across North and South Indian staples, Goan-inspired dishes, and select global influences, offering flavours that feel both familiar and comforting.

With its focus on nature-led design, warm hospitality, and soulful dining, Palma Beach Resort adds a serene new address to Goa’s evolving hospitality landscape while staying true to the calm spirit of Ashwem.

In an era where guest experience plays a decisive role in hotel ratings and repeat visits, Palaniappa Electronics has introduced Hepi TV, a next-generation in-room entertainment solution designed to address one of hospitality’s most overlooked challenges, television content accessibility.

Traditionally, hotels relying on DTH services activate only a single regional language pack. With guests arriving from diverse states and linguistic backgrounds, limited channel options often result in televisions remaining unused, diminishing the overall in-room experience. Hepi TV resolves this gap by delivering, for the first time in India, all SD channels permitted for broadcast through IP technology.

Operating seamlessly over existing Wi-Fi or LAN connectivity, Hepi TV eliminates the need for satellite dishes or DTH cabling. This allows hotels to offer multilingual channel access to guests from any region while incurring the cost of only one regional DTH pack. The Hepi TV box is provided free of charge, ensuring zero infrastructure investment for hotels.

Beyond live television, Hepi TV introduces personalised guest engagement. Upon check-in, the guest’s name appears on the TV screen and remains visible until checkout, creating a warm and premium welcome. The platform also supports popular OTT applications, with guest login credentials securely erased at checkout to ensure privacy and data protection.

Hotels can further utilise the system as an in-room communication tool by uploading up to six 4K videos highlighting hotel services, facilities, or promotions, transforming televisions into effective marketing touchpoints.

Available at ₹300 plus GST per TV per month, Hepi TV offers a cost-effective, scalable solution for hotels seeking to modernise in-room entertainment while enhancing guest satisfaction. For General Managers and Property Owners, it represents a practical blend of technology, personalisation, and operational efficiency.

Palaniappa Electronics continues to strengthen its reputation as a trusted partner for hospitality-focused electronic solutions, known for consistent quality, timely delivery, and a strong understanding of hotel operational needs.
