Stone Wood Hotels & Resorts Expands North Goa Portfolio with 40-Key Hotel in Calangute
/Sibaya Courtyard by Stone Wood Premier becomes the second property under the Sibaya portfolio, with further expansion planned across India
2026, Goa: Sibaya, in partnership with Stone Wood Hotels & Resorts, has expanded its presence in North Goa with the opening of Sibaya Courtyard by Stone Wood Premier, a 40-room hotel in Calangute. The property marks the second hotel under the Sibaya portfolio, with Stone Wood Hotels & Resorts providing hospitality management and operational expertise.
Located in Khobra Vaddo, Sibaya Courtyard by Stone Wood Premier is positioned within the Baga–Calangute hospitality market, approximately a five-minute walk from Tito’s Lane and with convenient access to both Baga Beach and Calangute Beach. Despite its proximity to one of North Goa’s busiest tourism belts, the hotel is situated away from the more crowded stretches of the neighbourhood.
The property features 40 rooms across three categories: Deluxe Rooms with Balcony, Premium Rooms with Balcony and Pool View Rooms with Balcony. All rooms include private balconies.
Sibaya Courtyard also features a 1,507 square feet conference and banquet hall with a capacity of approximately 80 to 100 guests, allowing the hotel to cater to small corporate meetings, private functions and social celebrations. Other facilities include a swimming pool, an air-conditioned multi-cuisine restaurant with a bar and an open courtyard café.
The hotel is designed to cater to independent leisure travellers, families, small corporate groups and social gatherings, while its location provides convenient access to the wider Baga–Calangute tourism and entertainment district.
The design of the property draws from its Goa setting, with tropical influences incorporated through the colour palette, décor and bedroom wallpapers. The courtyard, private balconies and open social spaces have been designed to create a relaxed environment while maintaining the convenience of a centrally located North Goa hotel.
Commenting on the property, Shaminder Singh, Managing Partner, Sibaya Courtyard by Stone Wood Premier, said: “While developing Sibaya Courtyard, our focus with the architects was on creating a hotel that reflects what travellers increasingly seek in North Goa: proximity to the action without having to compromise on comfort or privacy. We have carried a tropical character through the interiors, including the colour palette, décor and bedroom wallpapers, to keep the design connected to its Goa setting. The courtyard, private balconies and open social spaces add to that approach, while the banquet and dining facilities allow us to serve leisure guests, corporate groups and intimate celebrations.”
Shikhar Kumar, Managing Partner, Sibaya Courtyard by Stone Wood Premier, said, added: “North Goa is a highly competitive market, and location alone is no longer enough to differentiate a hotel. Travellers are looking for better-designed stays that offer access, comfort and a sense of privacy. Sibaya Courtyard has been developed around that requirement. It also allows us to address small-format corporate and social events, which are becoming an important source of year-round demand in Goa.”
The opening of Sibaya Courtyard by Stone Wood Premier marks another step in the development of the Sibaya portfolio, which began with Sibaya Beach Resort in Morjim.
