Bastian Riviera

Goa has no shortage of places to dine and drink near  water but this beachside restaurant in Goa is the one that makes you forget you had anywhere else to be.

Yes, you heard it right, it is the Bastian Riviera. Set along the Morjim backwaters on a 1.5-acre waterfront property, it is Bastian Hospitality Group's first restaurant in Goa near the beach. A pyramid-inspired centrepiece, private-deck cabanas, circular sunbeds and an open-air bar facing the river. The design pulls from Egypt, Mykonos and Dubai, but it never loses the easy coastal spirit of North Goa.

The food follows the same logic global-coastal, seafood-forward, Goa-grounded. Slow brunches, grilled fresh catches, wood-fired mains and cocktails built on local spice infusions carry you from noon into a proper sundowner session as the backwaters catch the last of the light. Live music and curated performances take it through the night.

For those who want luxury dining in Goa without the stiffness that sometimes comes with it this is that place. Full-day, full-night, entirely on the Morjim shoreline. Not just a meal. An entire destination - open from 12 PM to 1:30 AM all day.
