Soma Project, Goa

Soma is all about quality—whether it’s the food served, the cocktails concocted, the entertainment on tap or the music spinning through its sandy expanse. Modelled on the lines of world-class beach clubs in Mykonos and Ibiza, the Soma project was conceptualised by Russian DJ duo Sashanti & Mescalito (of Shanti Goa fame), and is sequestered along a coconut grove on one of the most deserted sandy stretches on Ashwem beach. Known for its boho vibe and gypsy appeal, this is a great spot to rub shoulders with the swish set. Preserve your energy by taking a leisurely swim in the pool or lounge about at the private cabanas by day, and shift into top gear when the DJs start spinning their sets at dusk—at Soma the party goes on till the wee hours of the morning.
