Welcome to Bhakti Kutir

Bhakti Kutir is an eco-retreat in South Goa, set in a two-acre coconut grove a short walk from Palolem Beach.

Our cabanas are built with bamboo, jute, and reclaimed wood, designed to blend into the trees rather than replace them.

Yoga and Ayurveda have been at the heart of Bhakti since the beginning. We host teachers from around the world who bring their own retreats, as well as daily classes open to everyone.

Our Ayurveda center offers traditional therapies, while our kitchen serves fresh vegetarian meals, with vegan and gluten-free options.

Bhakti Kutir has been quietly pioneering low-impact, back-to-nature lodging since 1996. Rooted in responsible tourism, we promote biodiversity, organic food, and eco-conscious design

Eco Huts in Nature

For nearly 30 years, our bamboo cabanas have been part of the forest. Each one is hand-built with natural materials and designed as a simple, sustainable place to stay close to nature.

Inside, you’ll find a comfortable bed with a mosquito net and a private bathroom. We don’t use air conditioning; the shade of the trees keeps the cabanas naturally cool.

Bhakti Restaurant

Our kitchen keeps things simple and honest: seasonal vegetarian dishes made from local produce when available, house-baked breads, and small-batch ferments. Sit beneath the trees and enjoy a wholesome meal.

A calm place where guests and locals eat together. Walk-ins are welcome; please contact us for large group bookings or special dietary needs.

Daily Yoga and Traditional Ayurveda

Daily classes and traditional Ayurvedic treatments on-site. Experienced teachers, straightforward guidance, and practical therapies to help you feel better

Host Your Yoga Retreat in Goa

You bring your students and your teaching, we make everything else work.

For more than 20 years we’ve been helping yoga teachers from around the world run retreats smoothly at Bhakti Kutir.

Our team sets up the shalas, organizes private huts or shared cabanas, and cooks seasonal meals that can be tailored for vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free diets. Ayurvedic therapies, massage, and extra staff can also be arranged when needed.

Every retreat is unique. We’ll help you shape the program around your group, guide you through timelines and room lists, and stay by your side with on-site coordination.

Words from our guests

Great setting right in the jungle. You are surrounded by tree frogs, monkeys and wonderful birds… I really enjoyed sitting in the hammock in the rain.
