New Season starts in Palolem!

The new season is starting in Palolem, Goa, India.

The season in Palolem starts in October, although most places do not really open until November.

We recently got an email from someone who wanted to know whether there would be anything open in October as that was when he was planning to arrive. Here is our reply;

''Since the new law which obliges all huts to be dismantled at the end of each season, resorts do tend to open later, because of the time it takes to put them all up again and get all relevant licenses.

However, in our experience there are places that have the right connections and manage to get up and open by October. So a lot of the places especially restaurants and bars, will already be open.

We cannot tell you which resorts specifically will be open, as we do not know, please try contacting them specifically. For their contact details see our Accommodation page.

The main road and all the businesses along there will already be open.''

REIKI -The gift to yourself

I like to make the most of my time in India, and having indulged and become a devout believer in the benefits of Yoga, I decided it was now time to try out Reiki.
Michelle, who also teaches yoga and massage techniques in Patnem, runs weekly Reiki courses during the season.
Reiki was originally 'discovered' in Japan and means 'Universal Life Force Energy'. It is a way of awakening your energy and chanelling it in a healing way to yourself and others. Reiki can completely balance the physical, emotional and spiritual aspects of your personality.
My experience of reiki was a very powerful one and I would recommend it to anyone interested in awakening to their spirituality and inner power.

The course I took was a three day intensive course -you can read more about Reiki on our website.

back in business

hi there folks!

Just got back from a visit to Mumbai, i won't bore you with the details but it involved 7 hours worth of exams, excellent food and a hurried morning of shopping! -i guess we should add a Mumbai section to our website as lots of people do pass through there on their way to Goa.

It's a really exciting city to visit, if you know where to go!

Our Palolem-Beach.com website has already made it to page 4 of a Google search if you search for 'Palolem Beach', we are updating every week and moving on up!

Check out our newest addition to the article section and our list of restaurants in Palolem, Patnem and Agonda.

It's good to be back in sleepy Goa, and back to my routine of yoga, work and shiatsu...

Goan smiles!

Silent Noise

Goa's first ever

SILENT NOISE

party was an awesome success.
Wireless Head phones were given to everyone who attended and from 10pm the live music was played through them so that it was literally a 'silent party'.
It is difficult to describe just how surreal this feels (and looks) but it is a fantastic idea. The party was able to go on well into the early hours of the morning and no neighbours were disturbed.
International djs pumped out top quality music and the experience was totally intense!

Check out some of our photos!

Happy 2008!

Many Happy New Year wishes from everyone here at Palolem-Beach.com!
