Goa’s Hidden Cafés & Sunset Corners

Everywhere you turn in Goa, there’s noise and light. But for those seeking stillness and hidden magic, a few corners remain tucked away — places where the horizon softens, where the sea whispers, and where you can just be. Here are some of our favorite secret escapes.

1. Mon Petit Frére, Colva
Nestled in nature's greenery, this café is only4 minutes drive from Villa Amor Verde. They have great options for coffee and breakfast. Order your favorite coffee, lean back, and hear the birds sing.

2. Sunset at Cabo de Rama Fort
Far from the crowds, climb the steps, breathe the salt, and wait. The sun descends slowly over the Arabian Sea, painting the sky in burnt orange and lavender.

3. The Imlee Jar Café, Colva
A cozy café in the heart of Colva, just 5 minutes walk from Villa Amor Verde. They specialize in vegetarian delicacies and modern Indian cuisine. Behind bougainvillea walls, this café hides in plain sight.

4. Benaulim Beachside Stroll & Snack Stop
Walk at dusk along the sands of Benaulim, a white-sand, serene beach lined with shacks. You can soak the authentic Goan Susegari atmosphere here, while enjoying a breathtaking Sunset.

5. Quiet Lookout: Butterfly Beach
Accessible only by boat (or hidden paths), Butterfly Beach is one of Goa’s better-kept secrets. Come late afternoon, settle into a rock, and watch the sun melt into the sea.

Tips for Discovering Your Own Corners

• Walk without direction, follow a narrow trail

• Speak to locals — they hold stories

• Arrive early — often the first hour is magic

• Carry a journal or sketchbook — capture what moves you

Goa is full of wonder — and the most meaningful moments are often the ones you find, not the ones marketed. May these places guide you home to calm.

Explore slowly, live Susegari.
