Incredible Place
A tranquil, sustainable slice of Goan paradise where guests are encouraged to rekindle their connection to nature
The peaceful backwaters and quiet village lanes of Olaulim provide the perfect opportunity to indulge in some gentle outdoor activities right from our backyard. Guests can indulge in:
1.Canoeing/Kayaking
2.Cycling
3.Fishing
4.Bird Watching
5.Nature Walk
Philosophy
The guest accommodation consists of five cottages, unique in size and decor, situated in different levels of the foliage in the backyard.
They are very rustic, choosing to make best of locally available elements like bamboo, local stone , coconut wood and palm leaves.
The cottages are all air-cooled, the windows are large thus capturing the through breeze, and enabling you to sleep and reside completely in harmony with nature.
The bathrooms are tropical style, roof partly open to invite sunlight and offering a vista painted by the Goan sky and towering trees.
Each cottage is unique in design and decor, they are away from each other offering privacy.
History
We, Pirkko and Savio, created Olaulim Backyards from a shared dream. Much traveled, we set about building our beautiful home by the Olaulim River, careful to keep away from the tempting beaches and its ever-increasing tourists. It is a fully family-run business
Mission & Vision
We wanted to offer a place that is simple and rustic and close to nature.
What we’ve created is a peaceful, quiet retreat with only birds, friendly hosts, and their pets – as company.
