Kamat Hotels Strengthens Goa Presence with the Launch of IRA Porvorim

Mumbai/Goa: Kamat Hotels India Ltd (KHIL) has announced the upcoming launch of IRA Porvorim, Goa, a remarkable addition to its rapidly growing IRA by Orchid Hotels portfolio. Scheduled for a grand opening in September 2025, this milestone underscores the brand’s aggressive expansion across India. It follows the successful debut of Orchid Passaros in Benaulim, South Goa, earlier this year, and joins a strong pipeline of IRA hotels opening in prime destinations including Mumbai, Bhubaneswar, Ayodhya, Noida, Nashik, and Chhatrapati Sambhaji Nagar.

Nestled in the vibrant heart of Porvorim, the new IRA Porvorim will feature 43 thoughtfully designed guest rooms tailored for both discerning business travelers and leisure seekers. The property emphasizes a holistic guest experience with its array of premium facilities, including a capacious banquet hall for elegant events, a refreshing swimming pool, a curated in-house restaurant, and a fully equipped health club, all crafted to set new standards in Goa’s hospitality scene.

KHIL’s expansion through the IRA brand reflects a strategic push into prime tier-2 and tier-3 markets, offering mid-market travelers a blend of value, comfort, and location advantage, a philosophy echoed in IRA’s earlier openings. Going beyond hospitality, IRA by Orchid has also pledged to donate one percent of its sales towards community welfare initiatives, with a special focus on supporting the education of the girl child.

Sharing his views on the expansion, Vishal Vithal Kamat, Executive Director, KHIL, said, “Goa continues to attract both domestic and international travelers, and with IRA Porvorim, we aim to redefine hospitality in the city. From curated experiences to modern comforts, this property will serve as a preferred choice for families, corporates, and event planners alike.”

Dr. Vithal Venkatesh Kamat, Chairman, KHIL, added, “Each new IRA hotel defines our growth blueprint. Porvorim reflects the essence of our brand: sustainable, stylish, and guest-centric.”

As preparations for the September 2025 launch proceed, IRA Porvorim is poised to become a standout destination—whether for vibrant social celebrations, business events, or relaxed getaways in KHIL’s rapidly growing Indian hospitality portfolio.
