A cliff-top eco resort above Cabo de Rama beach, rewilded for birds

Cabo Serai is a clifftop eco-resort in South Goa, overlooking the Arabian Sea at Cabo de Rama. Eight cottages built from pine wood and three canvas tents sit across 15 acres of native forest and are perched high enough for a bedside sea view. The property has rewilded its grounds with native plants, and now counts more than 100 bird species and numerous butterflies among its residents.

Take a guided bird walk at sunrise or sunset through a forest that shelters over 85 species. Hike to nearby Cabo de Rama Fort for a look at the coast's colonial history, or join a sunrise yoga class before the day heats up. Drink loose-leaf tea sourced from India and coffee grown in Tamil Nadu, then watch the sun drop over the Arabian Sea from the comfort of your cottage.
