Eco-Friendly Cabanas & Huts in South Goa
Retreat to eco-huts in Goa’s quiet tropical forest
Using local, renewable materials like rice straw and bamboo, our cabanas are hand-crafted to embrace the trees and allow you to fully immerse and drift back into nature.
Each living space holds onto its rustic charm while providing simple comfort for those who wish to live close to nature
Nature Cabanas: A Quiet Kind of Comfort
Each hut at Bhakti Kutir tells its own story.
Shaped by hand from local materials, our rooms are naturally cooled by the shade of the forest canopy and do not require air conditioning.
The huts are a return to a simpler, more conscious way of living. In each one, you will find a thoughtful space to rest, listen to the sounds of nature, and feel a little removed from the world.
Each bed is equipped with a mosquito net. You can lounge in a hammock on the spacious outside seating area and feel the peaceful jungle vibes that so many of our guests love.
Hostel Style Cabanas: Live Simply, Stay Connected
Our shared dorms are designed to fit naturally into the tropical forest we’ve nurtured over the years.
Each space is open and airy, with mosquito nets, personal storage, and thoughtfully arranged beds that give everyone a little privacy while staying part of the community.
The community kitchen is self-run, and guests are welcome to take care of it themselves as part of their stay.
This is a place to slow down, live simply, and enjoy the calm of Bhakti Kutir.
