Coco Shambhala
Sindhudurg, India
Just outside the village of Bhogwe, on a secluded stretch of shoreline on the Konkan coast, you’ll find a quartet of villas. Welcome to Coco Shambhala, India’s one-of-a-kind beach retreat. If you’re looking for privacy, you’ve found it – each of the two-bedroom eco-friendly villas stands in its own little jungly enclave, filled with palm fronds, frangipani, mango trees and bamboo, with sprawling open-air living pavilions leading to private infinity pools and uninterrupted sea views. Everything is made of natural materials, from the coconut wood furniture to the jute rugs. Life moves at a leisurely pace here, and days can be filled with hikes, bird walks, snorkelling, canoeing, exploring the nearby Nivti Fort or the powder-soft sand shoreline. If you prefer to stay poolside, be sure to contact the spa for one of their signature treatments inspired by the ancient wellness traditions of Ayurveda and aromatherapy. Dining is organised prior to arrival, with the head chef calling in advance to tailor the menus. Service here is superlative, with very villa staffed with its own butler, as well as a pre-programmed mobile phone to contact the team.
