50 Abandoned Hotels That Are Frozen in Time

20. Casa Vieja – The Ghost Hotel of Goa, India

Hidden among the palm-lined beaches of Agonda, Goa, Casa Vieja, also known as the Ghost Hotel, stands as one of India’s most mysterious and eerie abandoned structures. Originally intended to be a luxurious beachside resort, this sprawling complex was left unfinished under circumstances shrouded in speculation. Some say financial difficulties halted construction, while others whisper of bad luck, legal troubles, or even supernatural forces at play. Now, nature has begun reclaiming the skeletal remains of what was supposed to be a high-end retreat. Crumbling walls, overgrown courtyards, and dark, empty hallways give the site an unmistakably haunted feel. Graffiti covers parts of the unfinished buildings, and locals often avoid the area at night, citing ghostly apparitions and strange noises echoing through the ruins. Despite its eerie reputation, urban explorers and curious travelers continue to visit, drawn by the site’s haunting beauty and chilling history. Casa Vieja remains one of Goa’s most intriguing abandoned landmarks, a silent monument to a dream that was never realized.
