Cajueiro Homestead


This remote-feeling farm retreat, 26km northwest of Molem and 23km northeast of Ponda, is the kind of place you book to get away from the beach, the traffic and the outside world. On a sprawling cashew and coconut plantation, the six rooms are comfortable and thoughtfully furnished, the restaurant provides meals and there's even a natural swimming pool.

Walks around the farm and quiet introspection are the main attraction here. It's hard to find (Valpoi is the nearest town) but transfers can be arranged from Panaji.
