Four simple but charming houses located on an idyllic, secluded beach in North
Goa, separated from the rest of the world by a quiet salt water creek.
"Elsewhere" is far from the tourist trail and likely you'll only see the footprints of fishermen and sea turtles on the miles of sandy beach.
Owned by the Sequeira
family, once a coconut plantation dating back to 1886, the secret location preserves the privacy and peace of guests,
with the salt water of the creek keeping even the mosquitos away.
All the 4 houses sit directly on the beach facing the sea. They are built in a traditional style with thick, cool, walls, shuttered windows, cool natural flooring and a lofty terracotta tiled sloping roof. The furniture is a mix of traditional and rustic. All have a delightful open sitting area to watch the sea by day and the stars by night.
Rustic and Peaceful, perfect for enjoying the eclectic charm of Goa
Elsewhere houses are run like a little hotel. They have
housekeeping and a dining shack area where you order food from a menu and pay
for what you order at the end of your stay. The cost of a meal per person is
approximately 4 UK Pounds Sterling depending on what you order.
Some of the houses are air-conditioned while the traditional architecture and cross ventilation keep the others cool. Although rustic and charming, the houses are comfortable with clean western style bathrooms and toilets.

Map & Activities
Elsewhere Beach Huts are ideal for:
Anyone looking for a holiday
with a difference.
Nature lovers and Bird
watchers.
Those in search of peace and
tranquility.
Beach lovers.
Families, Couples, or even
Singles.
Larger parties of up to 26
people can be accommodated easily by booking the Elsewhere beach houses together with the Otter Creek Tents - 3 luxury tents on the same property.
The location is in North
Goa, about 30 minutes drive from Calangute, Baga or Panjim, 20 minutes drive
from Mapuca, and about 45 minutes drive from Old Goa.
A Car and
Driver can be provided (at an extra charge- approx 10 Pounds Sterling per day)
so that you have the freedom to visit a different beach and in the evenings or
sample the many restaurants around North Goa. Shopping is easy too - with the
driver to help on where to go and what to buy. If you want to explore, your
driver is a knowledgeable guide and can show you not only the usual sights but
also the ones outside the well-trodden tourist routes.
PLEASE NOTE: The road
ends about 30 meters from the creek so there is a short walk between a couple
of village houses, across a bamboo bridge and along a sandy track - so sensible
shoes are a must. Please note that the bridge, although strong and sturdy, is
constructed from bamboo and around 60 meters long and may be a little daunting
for those nervous of heights. Elsewhere is therefore not a good choice for
those with mobility difficulties.
