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

Eco-friendly bamboo hut surrounded by coconut trees at Bhakti Kutir, South Goa nature stay accommodation.

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.
