Situated on the banks of the Asvem river on the shores of the Arabian sea in Mandrem, North Goa, in India.
The Mandala is a place to come back to nature and feel at peace.
The Mandala is a unique destination created by artists & designers from around the globe, where comfort meets nature in harmony and laid back atmosphere and serenity are a priority.
The concept of the Mandala is to provide a serene and peaceful destination in lush Goan nature where inspiration is in abundance. It is a haven for the traveller looking for something out of the ordinary.
There are five double-storey "Nomadic mansions" which sleep up to four people and seven beautifully designed tents suitable for one or two, all of which have been created with attention to detail and a sense of originality.The emphasis is on integrating with the natural surroundings, leaving your worries at the gate and generally feeling at peace.
The word Mandala means the unity of all things in harmony within a space, so whether one chooses to participate in yoga courses, kayak down the river, relax on the veranda enjoying the view, watch the numerous species of birds circling the lake or sampling our healthy menu in the Mandala Restaurant….
As said in Hindi...
Sub kuch milega! (everything is possible)

The Location
The Mandala resort is located in 5500 m² of lush coconut grove in close proximity to three bodies of water. The tidal Asvem lake is a holy site dedicated to the God, Vishnu (the protector) and lies at the southern edge of the property. The tidal lake is fed by The Asvem River which winds its way gently through the serene backwater jungle arriving on the white, sandy shores of the Arabian Sea.

To the south, Asvem beach is a ten minute walk and is home to several sunset music venues. Morjim is another few kilometers down the beach with a slightly more chic selection of restaurants and bars.
It is a 10 minute taxi ride or a 40 minute beach walk to the neighbouring town of Arambol to the north, where beach shacks and market shops line the coastal roads and beachfronts.
Anjuna, famous for its beach parties and its markets on wednesdays and saturdays is 20 minutes away by car to the South.
