🐾 Pets Welcome Pet Friendly
Tucked into the leafy lanes of Arpora in North Goa, Celest is a 4-BHK pet-friendly villa with a private pool that genuinely means it when it says pets are family. Listed on Elivaas , a curated villa platform known for consistent quality across its properties , it comes with a formal, clearly structured pet policy, a private pool surrounded by tropical greenery, and easy access to Baga, Calangute, and Anjuna beaches. If you're planning a group trip to Goa and travelling with dogs, this is one of the few villas in North Goa where the welcome is explicit, the rules are spelled out in advance, and there are no unpleasant surprises at check-in. The property sleeps up to 12 guests, making it well-suited for multi-family trips or group getaways where someone in the party insists on bringing the dog , which, honestly, is the right call.
✓ Confirmed by the property
Elivaas has confirmed that pets are allowed on the property at Celest. The pet policy is published directly on the listing page and includes a structured deposit and sanitation fee system. Pets are not permitted in the pool , a ₹10,000 care charge applies if this rule is violated. Clean-up is the guest's responsibility throughout the stay, and any pet-related damages are charged at actuals.
The Villa
Celest is a standalone 4-bedroom villa in Arpora, part of the Vegas Vaddo area near the Canossian Sisters. The property sleeps up to 12 guests across four ensuite bedrooms, several of which open onto private balconies , genuinely useful when you want your dog to get some air without navigating the full staircase at 6 AM. The living spaces are bright and open, with a fully equipped kitchen and a spacious dining area that makes self-catering practical for large groups. There's no need to eat every meal out, which also matters when you're travelling with a dog and don't want to leave them alone in an unfamiliar space while the group heads to dinner.
Outside, the private pool is the centrepiece , surrounded by tropical greenery and loungers, with a terrace and outdoor seating area that comes into its own in the evenings. The villa's garden and outdoor grounds give your dog room to move around freely during the day. The location in Arpora puts you within easy driving distance of Baga, Calangute, and Anjuna beaches, as well as well-known restaurants like Fat Fish, Britto's, Souza Lobo, and Bastian , all reachable in under 15 minutes by car. Arpora itself is residential and quieter than the main beach strips, with shaded lanes that are far more walkable for dogs than the crowded seafront roads of Baga or Calangute.
Pet Policy in Detail
Elivaas operates a tiered pet policy across all its properties, and Celest is listed as a pet-friendly home. The policy is worth reading carefully before you book, because the numbers add up. A refundable pet security deposit is required at the time of booking: ₹10,000 for one pet and ₹15,000 for two pets. This sits on top of the standard villa security deposit of ₹15,000, which applies to all guests regardless of pets. Additionally, a one-time non-refundable pet sanitation fee is collected at check-in , for a 4/5 BHK property like Celest, this is ₹3,000. So if you're arriving with one dog, you're looking at ₹15,000 (villa deposit) + ₹10,000 (pet deposit) + ₹3,000 (sanitation fee) before the stay begins, in addition to the room rate. The refundable amounts are returned within 4–7 working days after check-out, subject to inspection.
The rule to flag clearly: pets are not allowed in the pool. Elivaas enforces this with a ₹10,000 care charge if the rule is violated, so it's worth briefing everyone in your group before arrival , not just the dog owners. The outdoor space and garden are fair game, and dogs can spend time there freely. Clean-up is your responsibility throughout the stay; pick up after your pet and leave the grounds as you found them.
ℹ️ Deposits & Fees , Budget for This Before You Book
Beyond the villa room rate, expect to pay: ₹15,000 standard refundable security deposit + ₹10,000 (1 pet) or ₹15,000 (2 pets) refundable pet security deposit + ₹3,000 one-time non-refundable pet sanitation fee (for 4/5 BHK). All refundable amounts are returned within 4–7 working days post check-out inspection. The cancellation policy is non-refundable within 15 days of check-in.
What to Know Before You Visit
Arpora is a genuinely good base for a dog-friendly trip to Goa. It's residential and low-traffic compared to Baga or Calangute, with shaded lanes that make morning and evening walks with your dog far more pleasant than navigating the busy beach strips. The villa is a private booking , your group has the full property to yourselves , which means no shared corridors, no other guests' dogs to worry about, and no lobby where you're managing your pet in front of strangers. That matters more than it sounds when you're travelling with a large or anxious dog.
Check-in is from 2:00 PM; check-out is by 11:00 AM (one source indicates 10:00 AM , confirm at the time of booking). Daily housekeeping is included in the stay. The property is bookable via Elivaas directly, as well as on Airbnb, Booking.com, Tripadvisor, and MakeMyTrip. As of mid-2025, it holds a 5.0 rating across 344+ reviews , an unusually consistent track record for a villa rental. If you're driving from Mumbai or Pune, Arpora sits well within road-trip range and the villa has its own driveway and grounds for parking, so arriving with a car full of dog gear is straightforward. Breed restrictions and weight limits are not mentioned in the published pet policy, but if you're travelling with a large breed, it is worth confirming with Elivaas directly before booking rather than assuming.
