We have reopened our Homestay at Little Paradise in June 2020 after 6 years - with the addition of two new independent studio units to the property.
Little Paradise Goa is a charming boutique vacation homestay in Assagao - offering independent cottage units and contemporary chic studio-style rooms, to travellers who enjoy the comfort of small spaces, minimal design and alfresco living. Bathed in natural light, the cottages and studio units have large outdoor spaces - decks, terraces, balcaos, balconies and gardens, overlooking the valley of the village.
Set in 1200 square metres of lush tropical greenery, the property rests on a hill slope, giving the experience of a ‘tree house’ - surrounded as it is by mango, cashew, jamun, teak and coconut trees. We grow our own vegetables and herbs on the property and encourage guests to be part of our home garden - to plant seeds, nurture the soil and be a part of the community.
Little Paradise is a peaceful and safe haven for people seeking a quiet home away from home… and yet it is just minutes away from markets, restaurants, yoga and wellness retreats, beaches and the fishing villages of Goa.
