A seaside resort is undeniably the most romantic place. Nothing beats its heady mix of the azure sea and the orange sunset. It’s a place where self-expression comes easy.
W Goa at Vagator beach – associated with the global luxury resort brand W Hotels – has understood this very well. It has gone a step further by creating a “space for self-expression and meaningful conversations” for the LGBTQ+ community.
The Goan resort is looking to foster the power of individuality with its Pride Month events. In this direction, the luxury resort has also come up with a PRIDE campaign, designed to celebrate and support the LGBTQ+ community. The special offer, which began on June 1, will be on till September 30.
“This exclusive package not only commemorates Pride Month in June but extends its celebration throughout the Monsoon, offering a vibrant and inclusive atmosphere where all guests can embrace their true selves and experience the unique charm of W Goa,” the hotel said.
The resort will also be hosting events and activities to celebrate self-expression, commonality and shared values. One of them is D.N.A –Definitions Not Applicable – Drag Brunch, which will be hosted at the Woobar in W Goa.
It will feature a dynamic lineup, including a Drag Performance and a special DJ set by SeanT, setting the tone for the Pride month.
These initiatives of Goan resort are in line with global major W Hotel’s general philosophy of inclusivity and self-expression.
“W is a destination that embraces all who visit, encouraging travellers to be their true selves. Through its support of the LGBTQIA+ community, W gives marginalized voices a platform and brings diverse communities together to move culture forward,” it states.
Translating its belief into action, the luxury hotel will be adorning W Hotels across the global in vibrant rainbow colours to reinforce its “brand's unwavering dedication to diversity and equality”.
“From rainbow-themed decorations to Pride-inspired culinary offerings, each W Hotel will serve as a beacon of pride and inclusivity for guests and communities alike,” it said.
As part of the PRIDE month, these special guests are allowed a daily hotel credit of up to INR 1500 which gives them more flexibility to enjoy amenities or explore the surrounding area. Also, a daily buffet breakfast ensures a convenient and delicious start to their day.
If that’s not all, the 25 per cent discount on spa treatments encourages them to indulge in self-care and pampering. A complimentary curated resort activity adds value to the stay and provides an opportunity to experience something new and a free room upgrade (subject to availability) enhances the overall experience by offering a more spacious or luxurious room.
