Aditya - The Sun God

The word Aditya, taken as a singular entity, refers to the quietly powerful and yet serene Sun god. Taken as a composite, there are twelve Adityas, major solar deities, who are the offspring of the goddess Aditi. In the Rig Veda, the Aditya have been described as bright and pure, blameless and perfect. The Aditya are beneficent gods who act as protectors of all beings and who guard the world from harm.

Like the mythical deities, Aditya Resort stands guard over our guests, as they relax in the heart of luxury, surrounded by relics and artefacts that are reminiscent of civilisations past and with the warm welcome that only Aditya can offer. With the sun bathing us in its glorious light, the sea crashing mere feet away, reminds us of the power and sway of the universe, in which we are all one.

At Aditya, we belong to the Sun, and we belong to you.
