It all depends on what your budget is? There are plenty of hotels open in July with tariffs ranging from $10-$500/day. Not sure about those photos but that hotel looks to be expensive.

I'm sure the hotel is pretty expensive and I certainly can't spend 500$ a day for this
But what if you just wanna chill out near the swimming pool without actually living in the hotel?
Is this possible in Goa?

Not possible. The only exception that comes to mind is if you stay at the Pretty Petal guesthouse in Candolim, you can use the swimming pool of the hotel next door. This is only because the same family owns and operates both facilities.

That is the hotel up in the hills near Arpora. It's called Nilaya and is very nice and very expensive, 250 USD per night. Sunsets are amazing from the terrace.

Nilaya Indeed

Martin D is right! It is indeed Nilaya Hermitage hotel which is a boutique 5* hotel. It costs about $125/night off-season. It has 2 nice restaurants and one serves amazing Goanese food (yummy Reshad prawns). I would highly recommend it.

Laguna Anjuna

There is a hotel quite similar to Nilaya Hermitage and designed by the same architect called Laguna Anjuna which is far more reasonable costwise than Nilaya. Check out:

True, but then there is a significant difference in the price.

The Nilaya is owned by Claudia & Hari, who also own the Tiracol Fort, and also an AMAZING site just outside Goa in Maharashtra called Redi Fort. I understand that the Redi Fort is currently under development but won't be ready for a while.
