The Sina Hotel, popularly referred to as the Ghost Hotel, is an abandoned hotel complex situated in Agonda, in the Indian coastal state of Goa. Originally envisioned and initiated by a group of Russians, the construction of the hotel encountered numerous legal challenges, preventing its successful completion. As a result, the hotel gradually deteriorated over time, remaining in a state of abandonment.
The hotel, originally intended to be a five-star establishment within its area, encountered a setback during its construction phase in the early 1990s.[1] The project came to an abrupt halt due to financial constraints experienced by the owners, resulting in an incomplete structure. The hotel's development was further marred by an incident involving the murder of one of its owners.[2]
The Sina Hotel is situated at the southernmost stretch of Agonda Beach in South Goa, India.[3] Accessible via either a forest path or the main road, the hotel is surrounded by a lush canopy of trees.[4] Sunil M1 of Vijaya Karnataka, observed that the hotel's serene ambiance evokes a sense of tranquility and satisfaction. Consequently, the hotel has come to be informally known as the "Devil's Hotel."[5]
