Slide 1

A Retreat for Dreamers

The nature all around at Aranya - "the Forest", and the beauty and energy of Goa, provides a peaceful setting for Writers and Artists to sejourn and take inspiration from. Also explore our site for retreats on creative self development. You'll be amazed!

Yoga & Self Development

We welcome teachers and special interest groups who wish to use our facility for deepening their practise and skills. We host teachers and their groups from Yoga teaching and Self Development workshops to Corporate Retreats, and also creative development workshops for children or underprivileged.

Vacation & Facility Rentals too!

And yes - if you are a group of friends or family looking to spend a week of peace yet close enough to the vibe of Goa and its beaches. Aranya is perfect for you. We can host up to 40 people in 16 rooms, but can also cater for smaller groups.

Our Vision

We are passionate about hosting creative and curious people of every age, from every creed or nationality for stays that will be beneficial to their development. Our vision is to help you find inspiration and to make Aranya accessible for all people, including the underprivileged.

At the top of a winding private road - high above the rice paddies of Goa - with views out to the blue seas - this is where I found my inspiration!
