Jaali River Sanctuary
Nestled where the river meets a coconut grove at the edge of Goa’s quieter interior, Jaali River Sanctuary is the newest property in the Jaali collection. Eleven thoughtfully designed cottages sit along a living landscape of tropical gardens, riverbank and coconut tree shade. Those who know the Jaali name will recognise what we carry here: a commitment to spaces that are beautiful without being theatrical, and to hospitality that feels genuinely unhurried.

The menu is built around what grows and arrives through the Goa winter season, the months when the sanctuary is open and the produce is at its best. You might find millet pongal at breakfast, coconut laksa at lunch, and fish moilee with appam in the evening, food that moves easily between traditions, Goan, South Indian, Mediterranean, a little further afield.
Meals are organic where possible, always generous, and built around ingredients rather than concepts. Retreat groups eat together from a menu designed around their needs, fully plant-based, vegetarian, gluten-free, or something else entirely. The restaurant is also open to outside guests, with an à la carte menu that changes with the season.

Life at the pace of the tide
Life at the pace of the tide
The Talpona River slips quietly past our doorstep, brackish and unhurried, winding between mangroves before it gives itself to the sea. Glide out at first light by kayak or paddleboard, drift downriver on a slow country boat, or swim in water that turns to gold at dusk. Our boatmen know every bend and quiet inlet, every heron and kingfisher worth lingering for.

Our Other Properties
Jaali River Sanctuary is one of three properties in South Goa. The other two sit a short drive away, one on the rocks above Patnem Bay and one wrapped in a garden near Patnem Beach.
