Where the family path meets the sand: Calangute beach, the sea and white umbrellas — The end of our family's path to the beach

North Goa location, South Goa calm

Four homely apartments in a quiet garden, a few minutes along our family's path to the beach.

“Amazing stay in North Goa with South Goa feels.”

Out of the gate, onto the sand

The beach is about 250 metres from your door. You walk there on our family's path, through palms and bamboo, not along a busy road.

Out of our gate and 30 metres down the lane.
Along our family's path, past the pool and Bongo, the beach shack run by Merlin's brother.
Onto a calmer stretch of Calangute–Baga beach.

Baga's restaurants and nightlife are a short walk further along the beach, when you want them.

Quiet in the middle of it all

“walkable from the party crowd of Baga yet secluded and private!”

“Even the short walk to the beach through the property is tranquil, with carefully placed artisanal items along the way.”

Disney, Strawberry, Oct 2024

“the whole property is tucked away in lush greenery and has this incredibly peaceful vibe, yet you’re literally a two-minute walk from Calangute Beach.”

Milind, Mango, Sep 2026

Four apartments, one garden

Each apartment has its own entrance, its own balconies and AC, and sleeps up to three. Pick the one that fits how you like to holiday.

From ₹4,500 a night for two, in the quieter months. A third guest is ₹990 a night. Prices change with the season and are higher over Christmas and New Year.

Sweet Goa days

Our homely ground floor apartment, with a full kitchen and a balcony onto the garden, in a quiet lane between Calangute and Baga. Lovely for couples, small families or three friends who like to cook and stay a while (the third sleeps on a floor mattress).

The beach is a few minutes away: out our gate, down the lane, then along our family's path past the pool and my brother's Bongo shack. Cook, nap, swim, repeat. One returning guest wrote that it "still feels just like home."

Big studio, play at the beach

Our most spacious home: one big open studio with a queen bed, a big couch, a dining table to work at, its own kitchen and 87 Mbps wifi. Room for two, or three who like to share one big space (a floor mattress with fresh bedding for the third).

The beach is a few minutes' walk: out the gate, down the lane and along our family's path, past the pool and my brother's Bongo shack. Work a little, play at the beach a lot, then come home to your porch in the tropical garden.

“The studio apartment was perfect; it was roomy and clean and provided everything we needed, in a smart minimal way.”

Chikoo

Your own little Goa

Our cosy ground floor apartment in the tropical garden, made for slow mornings and days out. No kitchen, on purpose: there's a fridge and kettle, and Calangute's cafés are a few minutes away. Sleeps 3, with a floor mattress for the third.

The beach is a few minutes' walk along our family's path, past the pool and my brother's Bongo shack. Then home to the garden, your balcony and a quiet place to sit. Lovely for couples and solo travellers on a short break.

“For someone looking to be near a beach and close to the happening areas of north Goa but also come home to a quiet area this is absolutely perfect!!”

Settle in, cosy up

Up on the first floor, in our tropical garden away from the busy streets, is a carefully decorated apartment that guests always say feels like home. Two balconies, a well-stocked kitchen and a washing machine: unpack and stay a week. Sleeps 3, with a floor mattress for the third.

When you're ready, the beach is a few minutes' walk: out our gate, down the lane and along our family's path, past the pool and Bongo shack. Slow mornings, birds in the trees.

Bongo, at the end of the path

Bongo is the beach shack run by Merlin's brother, right where our path meets the sand. A coffee in the morning, lunch in the shade, a drink as the sun goes down. Sunbeds and umbrellas are there too.

“Bongo's shack was a perfect place to sit with a coffee or a beer.”

John, Mango, Jan 2025

Merlin and Joshua

Sweet Earth is part of Merlin's family land in Calangute. We love slow travel, and we made these apartments the way we like to stay ourselves: simple, cosy, with small things placed with care.

Someone from our team is on site during the day. We can put you in touch with drivers we trust, and our Goa guide shares the places we love. If you need anything, we are one message away.

“She connected us with a driver, Kapil, who was polite and extremely considerate.”

Good to know before you book

The pool and the beach are on our family's path, a short walk from the apartments, not in our garden.
Each apartment sleeps up to three adults. The third guest gets a floor mattress with bedding in the bedroom (in Mango, in the studio). A third guest is ₹990 a night; babies up to 2 stay free.
Chikoo has no kitchen. Strawberry is on the first floor, up a flight of stairs.
Self check-in from 2pm, check-out at 11am.
AC is in the bedroom (in Mango, the whole studio). The mobile signal inside is weak; the WiFi is fast, 73 to 87 Mbps.
Our lane is narrow. Scooters park inside our gate, and cars park for free at the Little India parking area, 50 metres down the lane.
On busy weekends you may hear music from the beach.
These are homes in a garden, not a hotel. There is no reception or room service, but we are always a message away.
