MONSOON Retreats
Rain certainly doesn't have to stop play.
Nestled on the shores of Agonda, our boutique boho hotel transforms into a haven of cozy introspection each monsoon, when emerald rains lull the palm-fringed beach into a tranquil lullaby.
Imagine mornings wrapped in soft mist, sipping chai on your palm-fringed balcony as incense spirals around you - before rising to guided meditation and sound‑healing sessions in the rooftop shala, listening to the rain‑kissed waves sing below.
As the world slows, you’ll find the perfect pause from urban hustle at Yoke - during slow, candlelit evenings, immerse yourself in soothing sauna rituals or wander deserted sands under the soft drizzle, each droplet inviting deeper reflection.
Designed for urban escpaees, seekers, digital nomads, and solo travelers craving community and cultural exchange, our monsoon retreats offer soulful gatherings by day and serene solitude by night—you're invited to renew body and spirit in nature’s downpour.

HOW TO WINTER...
'Wintering' is all about honouring the need to rest, embracing the pause invited by nature's patterns. It's an invitation to RETREAT from the daily treadmill, and take time to cocoon. It's the perfect time to catch up on your reading, take that online course, learn an instrument or a language... or just chill amidst Agonda's soulful rain-soaked beauty.
During the monsoon our spa building becomes a dining/lounge area resplendent with an endless supply of spiced chai, and all around the site you'll find cosy cushion-laden nooks in which to curl up to read, nap and meditate. Our AC rooms offer a refreshing sanctuary, and the roof shala, wrapped in transparent blinds, is an epic theatre from which to observe the monsoon's power unfold across the Arabian Sea.
With the beach just a two minute walk away, you'll be well-placed to make the most of those magical sunsets too.

Here's how our local climate works. The monsoon envelopes the South Goan summer, with the first rains arriving in mid June.
The downpour peaks during July, and then by August the clouds begin to part, with increasingly longer spells of dappled light and epic sunsets bursting across the moody skies whilst the landscape explodes with lush verdant greens.
Whilst July is very much an indoor experience, in August you can easily get out and about in the rain breaks - the rain begins to recede through September, winding down to the occasional shower sometime in early October.
SOFT LUXE Accomodation
That's what we call our vibe - SOFT LUXE. Attention to detail, but still rustic relaxed vibes. Solid walls, AC and no stress - also no bling vibes. We don't do minibars or TVs - we're a retreat, a sanctuary, and we want you to be comfortable. So it's natural textures and boho chic (yes the 90s are back) as opposed to glitz and chandeliers.
Our bespoke site is a boutique, intimate venue hosting 9 beautiful double bedrooms in a solid-walled Portuguese building, right underneath the rooftop shala.
The building is behind our Rajasthani gates, in a lush tropical lawned garden. Our style is a gently modern Indo-Ibizenco style, and you can see more at our Instagram.
Agonda is a blissful wilderness in monsoon - although we still have a variety of year-round restaurants to keep you well-fed and watered. If you have a four-wheeler, it's only a 10 minute drive to Palolem where many more of our favourite coffee shops and cafes also stay open throughout the rainy season. Yoke Goa is a 1 minute walk from the wild, empty 3km stretch of Agonda’s famous turtle beach and a short drive from waterfalls (the perfect monsoon outing), spice farms and the wildlife sanctuaries of Cotigao and Netravali.
