What to know before you go?

- This is an eco-conscious beachfront stay, designed for slower, more mindful days

- Set on a quieter stretch of Ashvem, expect an uncrowded, easy pace - with private verandas, guarded beach sunbeds, and long, unhurried hours watching the day slowly slip into dusk

What we love:

- Our favourite has to be the seafront cottages at Little Palm Grove - complete privacy, a private plunge pool, and uninterrupted views of the Arabian Sea.

- We found ourselves drawn to the beachfront restaurant & bar - for the views as much as the food. Slow meals, sea breeze, and the kind of setting you just wouldn't want to leave

About the property:

Set along the quiet, sun-kissed stretch of Ashvem Beach, between Morjim and Mandrem, Palm Grove Beach Resort feels like one of those rare Goa finds you almost want to keep to yourself. Surrounded by tropical greenery and opening out to the Arabian Sea, this boutique beachfront retreat is designed for slower days, softer mornings, and a more intentional way of experiencing the coast.

The property brings together Indian design elements with Scandinavian simplicity, creating spaces that are warm, airy, and effortlessly refined. Whether you’re here for a laid-back beach break, a wellness escape, or time with family, Palm Grove strikes that perfect balance between comfort and quiet luxury.

The resort unfolds across two distinct settings. The main Palm Grove area, located just about 50 steps from the beach, features 13 Garden View Bungalows, one Beachfront Bungalow, and a spacious two-bedroom family residence known as The White House. A little further along lies Little Palm Grove - a more private, seafront annex with just five bungalows, designed as an intimate sanctuary. Here, each stay comes with its own rhythm: private verandas overlooking the sea, plunge pools tucked beneath, breakfast served in your own space, and thoughtful touches like yoga mats and calming, nature-led interiors.

Across the property, standalone bungalows ensure privacy, while details like solar-powered hot water, natural materials, and low-impact design reflect a conscious approach to sustainability. The team also actively engages in beach clean-ups and local initiatives, adding a sense of care and responsibility to the experience.

Dining unfolds at the beachfront Palm Grove Beach Restaurant & Bar, where coastal flavours meet Mediterranean influences in a relaxed, toes-in-the-sand setting. Expect fresh seafood, seasonal produce, and a mix of Indian and international dishes -  from Gambas Pil Pil and Lobster Bisque to Tartufo Pizza and Grandma’s Prawn Curry - best enjoyed slow, with the sea just steps away.

The experience naturally extends into wellness, with a rooftop yoga shala, in-house spa and massage services, and a setting that encourages you to truly switch off. It’s also a thoughtfully kid-friendly stay, with baby cots and beach toys available - making it just as easy for families to settle in.

With direct beach access, private bungalow-style living, seafront plunge pools, and a distinctly slower pace of life, Palm Grove feels less like a stay and more like your own quiet corner of Goa - one you’ll likely want to return to.
