Laughing Buddha Cottages Palolem Beach

Laughing Buddha Cottages is an idyllic resort located on the North side of Palolem Beach in South Goa. 14 double huts are located around this beautiful garden; filled with coconut, teak, guava, and cashew trees. A mere 50 yards from the beach, Laughing Buddha Cottages provides a peaceful setting for lazing the days away in South Goa.

Our Rooms

We have fourteen expertly made huts. All rooms are fully furnished and attached with western style toilets, showers and washbasins. Our large double beds have comfortable mattresses and mosquito nets. All have electric fans and electricity sockets. We also have a safety locker facility and can provide laundry service.

Our Beach

Palolem beach is located in the southern most district of Goa - Canacona - about 65 km south of the Dabolim International Airport. Its beautiful white sand beach is lined with a forest of coconut trees. This traditional Goan fishing village still retains traces of its roots while combining all the commodities and luxuries of a tourist destination.

Local Goan cuisine as well as international fare can be found amongst Palolem's many restaurants. Kayaking, dolphin trips, shopping, Ayurvedic massages and many other activities are available in Palolem.
