Sun’beams of a dreamy kind

"

This couple’s villa in Goa recently won Asia’s Most Romantic Retreat.

If “we are the sum total of our life’s experiences,” — Summertime, a villa nestled in the verdant hills just outside the buzz of Calangute, Goa, is quite literally the “sun” total of their owners, Hans Tuinman and Sucheta Potnis’ musings. The villa recently won Asia’s Most Romantic Retreat by the World Boutique Awards 2016, and it’s clear to see why. The Dutchman who together with wife Sucheta built this haven, has birds dropping in for a sip of water and koi’s swimming unfettered. They have taken years of customised tourism, hobnobbing in the most beauteous sojourns across the world to first, build their own home, a gorgeous and palatial chalet, and then Summertime, a sunny welcoming balm of peace on a hill nearby, as their home when they are older. Thankfully, they decided to let eclectic souls in, and give them a chance to experience paradise.

"

Goa’s old hands, the people who knew the state before mining, unmindful tourism and its unsavoury reputation as India’s “most liberated beach state” took a toll, will remember the beach as a peaceful haven. Today, Calangute packs in the hordes in all seasons. So it is difficult for me to believe that there is something pristine left in this part of Goa, until I turn into a quiet lane with two or three villas and a long stretch of shrubs and greenery. Even then, I am not prepared for what I see when I drove in through the unassuming gates, across a wooded track.And there it stood on a remote hilltop, a Balinese-style villa, dappled in mellow winter sun, its glass walls reflecting light. Summertime, sheltered within verdant gardens and with views of paddy fields, is Sucheta Potnis and Hans Tuinman’s love child. The two, for years, have run Odyssey Tours and Travels that offers tailor-made experiences in India. Summertime, says Potnis, has been a dream and “my retirement plan” whose time had come. “We were seeing rampant development in the area. We have a house here and also owned another patch of land. So we decided to build a villa on that land to protect Calangute’s last green lung…

Summer at Summertime Villa Goa

"

Family holidays can sure be stressful if you’ve never really been on any one of those. I grew up in a beautiful, loving household where my parents worked extra hard so they could give my sister and me a top-notch education and quality of life. As a result, family holidays took a backseat. So we came up with this wild idea that perhaps it’s time to take one together, daughters with their husbands + toddler and our parents who deserve a luxurious break to a destination they’d never been before in the history of their existence despite being a 50-minute flight away – GOA.
