Small on purpose
We turn away group bookings that would fill more than a third of the resort at once.

Our Story
Two rented rooms in 1998, eighty-four suites today
Sunita and Ramesh Naik started letting the upper floor of the family house to sailors waiting out the monsoon. They never wrote a business plan; they just kept saying yes and adding rooms.
The resort grew sideways along the cliff rather than upward, which is why nothing here rises above three storeys and why every terrace still has its own line of sight to the water. Their son Aditya runs it now, with roughly half the original staff still on the payroll.
We close each June and reopen in October. The months in between go on repairs, replanting the terraces and sending the kitchen team to work somewhere that isn’t here.
What We Hold To
Four rules we have never bent
Bought locally
Fish from the Chapora boats, produce from four farms in Goa, wine from Indian growers only.
Quiet by default
No piped music anywhere outdoors, and no events on the terraces after eleven.
One price
Transfers, minibar, wifi and the spa’s thermal circuit are in the rate. Nothing gets added at checkout.
