Lotus Yoga Retreat: Patnem, Goa, India
Lotus Yoga Retreat is a beachfront yoga resort on fine, white sand in South Goa. It is built between the relics of a sacred Hindu site and the Arabian Sea. Sunset is an epic moment and it is possible to spot dolphins. There are two yoga shalas, one that overlooks the sea. The eco-friendly huts made of bamboo, palm leaves and straw are comfortable and give you the necessary luxury without taxing the environment. Each hut has a balcony with an Asian day bed and hammocks are suspended from the trees for your relaxation.
Our food concept is healthy, tasty and wherever possible organic - fresh tropical fruit, homemade organic yoghurt, vegetarian dishes (delicious even for those not used to vegetarian food), dhal, rice, salads, herbal teas and chai.
The pristine location at the end of the beach makes the nights perfectly silent and you can fall asleep to the sound of the waves.
This is the perfect spot to 'retreat' or 'escape by foot' to beachfront shops and restaurants a few minutes away.
