Moringa Tea: dried drumstick leaves, tea, and mawa. Tarvati Kokum: Goan chilli, fresh dates, and kokum. Koi Jaggery: Puffed rice with Goan jaggery.

At Taj Holiday Village Resort & Spa, Chef Somnath Rakesh drives Vogue modaks. Modaks that appeal to today’s generations who are extremely health conscientious but at the same time value their tradition. To quote the chef: We strive to curate products that are sugar-free where the sweetness comes from dates, figs, or honey; lactose-free using almond milk, soy milk, oat milk, rice milk, or coconut milk—coconut milk being the most sought-after alternative for festivities and modaks. Gluten-free options by using millets. While curating modak boxes in bulk on preorder, Chef Somnath offers options such as modaks with whole wheat flour replacing refined flour; steamed options replacing fried products; low- or no-sugar filling using jaggery, honey, dates, or maple syrup; or the addition of nuts like almonds or walnuts for protein and healthy fats.

The Rise Of Pawsome Pampering: Luxury Vacations With Pets

Gone are the days when leaving your furry friend behind was the only option for a luxurious getaway. A growing trend sees pet parents prioritising experiences that include their beloved companions, leading to a boom in luxury pet-friendly vacations. This shift reflects a deeper cultural phenomenon: pets are no longer just companions; they’re considered full-fledged family members. The Rise of Pawsome Pampering: Humanization of pets, rising disposable income, shifting demographics and increased pet ownership are some of the reasons that fuel this lifestyle trend. Today’s pet parents view pets with a greater emotional connection, treating them as valued members of the family. This translates to a desire for them to share in life’s special experiences, including vacations. The market size for pet parents is substantial and Goa is the premier destination for Indian family travellers for shorter holiday breaks several times a year. It would be well to mention that Taj Holiday Village Resort and Spa, Taj Fort Aguada Resort & Spa and The Yellow House, Goa IHCL Selections have been pet-friendly since inception and are geared up to welcome guests along with their pets. From especially curated pet menus to luxury pet amenities, you have it all. Think plush pet beds, gourmet pet food options, and even personalised welcome baskets brimming with pet treats and toys. From guided hikes to the Bay View Lawns or Sunset Point to Taj Fort Aguada or the greens of Moon Deck at The Taj Holiday Village, pet-friendly beaches, on-site play areas, and even pet-sitting services that allow for worry-free exploration are becoming commonplace. Enhanced Safety and Security: Gated pet-designated areas, pet-tracking devices, and readily available veterinary care provide peace of mind for pet parents. This trend extends beyond traditional accommodations. Luxury cruise lines are offering pet-friendly cabins with private balconies, while private jet companies are catering to in-flight pet needs. The pet-friendly luxury travel market is still evolving, but its potential is undeniable. Growing Number of Pet-Friendly Accommodations: Hotels, resorts, and other travel establishments are actively creating pet-inclusive environments to attract this lucrative market segment. The future of luxury travel is likely to be increasingly pet-centric. As the human-animal bond deepens and disposable income grows, pet parents will continue to seek out luxurious vacation experiences that allow their furry companions to join in the fun. This presents a significant opportunity for travel companies that embrace this trend and create innovative offerings to cater to this discerning and growing market and we at Taj Holiday Village Resort & Spa, Taj Fort Aguada Resort & Spa and The Yellow House, Goa IHCL Selections are here to welcome you with your pets.   Disclaimer: The above-given information is third-party information provided to theStyle.world.
