Sun Sand and Some Design...

Goa!
The land of sun sand and sea
Also the land of
Some breathtaking Portuguese architecture
and quirky, fun coastal design!

Known as the best kept secret of Goa, 'Elsewhere', dating back to 1886 has been lovingly and carefully transformed to a sumptuous but simple beach house. 'Elsewhere' is a house full of character, meant for those who appreciate the things that time does not change.


The white washed exteriors with eye catching rust walls. Red oxide floors

Your personal porch with a view

The decor is inexpensive; design inspiration drawn from nature and utility items


Small kitchenette with painted wooden shutters


In-built sitting on the porch...a feature common in traditional homes. The idea being that weary travelers or visitors to the home can wait and rest in the shade

Blue and white are a must in coastal decor

Who needs expensive bathroom accessories? A rope, some sticks, some nails could also do well!

;-) it takes a good photographer to make a jhadoo (broom) look so good as decor!

Oi! It's that little birdie again! In Goa this time! Anyone who knows what is this bird called?

Go Goa...

Go Elsewhere!
