About us
We built it for barefoot people.
Salt and Sand began as six huts on the sand in 2014 (sample story). We rebuilt them as villas in laterite stone and wood, kept every coconut tree, and stopped at 22 villas so the beach never feels crowded.
Our team is from Canacona. The fish comes from the boats you see in the morning, and the bebinca is a grandmother's recipe.

What guests say
Five nights in the Plunge Pool Villa and we left the resort twice. Both times for the dolphins.
Ritika and Sameer, Mumbai (sample)
The package builder had our transfers and spa sorted before we'd even messaged. Price on WhatsApp matched the bill.
Kunal Desai, Pune (sample)
Barefoot breakfast on the sand every morning. Agonda is the Goa we'd been looking for.
Hannah and Leo, Berlin (sample)
The sea is warm. Your villa is waiting.
