IT WAS WOMEN’S DAY OUT: On International Women’s Day on March 8 the iconic Taj Fort Aguada Resort & Spa and Taj Holiday Village Resort & Spa played host to the first of a series of Westside events. The Westside Style Retreat invited eight of the retail house’s loyal patrons to experience the best of both Tata brands over a 2-day “staycation.” The women attended seminars on fragrance, beauty and home, indulged in culinary demos curated by the Taj chefs. There was dining by the 300-year-old banyan tree at Taj Holiday Village’s Thai restaurant as also at Morisco’s Goan Heritage where a Goan heritage thali was served. There was also the treat of an exclusive interaction session by fashion brands representative Sameera Reddy at Villa Siolim. IHCL has recently launched its premium homestays called ãma stays and trails and here the actor and lifestyle influencer shared her inspiring journey into body positivity, appreciating the manner in which Westside’s new line ‘Limitless’ celebrates authenticity and promotes self-love! Present at the exclusive event were Umashan Naidoo (head, Customer & Beauty, Westside) and Anmol Ahluwalia (cluster general manager Taj, North Goa) who appreciated this thrilling association with Westside in promoting excellence in “unique offerings of trust, awareness and joy.”
