Cabo Serai

Cabo Serai is a delightful, quiet retreat nestling on a secluded hill that falls down to the beautiful, Cabo de Rama Beach. The hotel is surrounded by tropical palm jungle with stunning sea views.

There are ten stilted, wooden cottages and tents. Rustically comfortable, each has a spacious deck, wooden furnishings, excellent large bathrooms and they open up to allow the sounds of the sea and the breeze to waft in. The tents are superb, fully secure, bug proof and air-conditioned. Pretty pathways lead from one to the other and there’s nowhere better to daydream than on your wooden verandah, cantilevered out from the hill. They are excellently equipped with everything you could want for a perfect, relaxing beach holiday.

Dining here is a treat, in the intimate, relaxed, open sided restaurant or on the outer dining terrace, al fresco, under a star studded sky. Delicious seafood and global cuisine, as much as possible produced and sourced locally, is all served by legendarily friendly, hospitable Goan staff. Sitting in your ‘eyrie’ watching the sun set over the sea is truly magical.

Situated in flourishing forest, the bird life is exceptional and gentle strolls in the hills or along trickling streams is an immensely peaceful way to spend the day if not relishing the beach. There is a strong eco emphasis here with sustainability at its core. Yoga, meditation and Ayurvedic massages are available and make Cabo Serai the perfect rest for the soul. For the more active, local forts make for interesting outings and, for those wanting to venture further afield, north Goa boasts historic architecture, great shopping and fabulous restaurants. Nothing quite beats the beaches around Cabo Serai, however which sits, secluded in a bit of untouched, wilderness Goa. This is a delightful, rustic, intimate hotel – perfect as a base for exploring the wonders of the Konkan Coast, and enjoying the more peaceful side of Goa.
