Cabo Serai
# Goa’s Jungle-Chic Hideaway
Why should you trust us?
The Swank Guide has partnered with Booking.com and Tripadvisor to provide easy booking links for the hotels we recommend. Why? Because it ensures we can get you the lowest price, and it helps us continue to bring you empowering and entertaining content.
This new booking feature does not signal a change in our total editorial independence or in our status as a fully fan-supported business. Simply put: we have no financial relationship with any hotel or experience we recommend. We do not accept bags of cash, Dodgers tickets, sacrificial animals or blushing flatteries. The only way to get recommended by Swank is if we've tried it, loved it and would recommend it to our family and friends.

Swank you!

Looking for an escape from Goa’s northern beach crowds? Cabo Serai is your ticket to tranquility. Nestled on the quieter southern end of Goa, this eco-luxe retreat is perched 100 feet above a secluded beach and surrounded by 14 acres of lush jungle. Just an hour and 20 minutes from Goa’s international airport, it’s remote enough to feel like a true getaway, but not so far that you need a map and a Sherpa to find it.
This boutique gem features 9 open-air (or air-conditioned, your option) casitas and 2 glamping tents, each designed to let the outside in. Think sea breezes, the sound of waves, and a vibe that screams “disconnect to reconnect.” There’s one on-site restaurant serving up healthy, locally inspired dishes (70% Indian, 30% international, and plenty of veggie options). While there’s no spa or gym, you’ll find two yoga platforms – one hilltop, one by the beach – and a pool that’s… well, let’s just say it has potential. And even with no spa, massages can still be arranged.
Perfect for eco-conscious travelers and anyone looking to swap city life for something more laid-back, Cabo Serai is all about simple elegance. Whether you’re forest bathing (yes, that’s a thing), kayaking, or just soaking in the serenity, this is the kind of place that will reset your soul without emptying your wallet. Who needs flash when you’ve got this much natural beauty?
