The beach

A family resort on a beach that still belongs to the fishermen.

The Fernandes family opened Talpona Sands in 2009 with six cottages on their coconut grove. We have grown to 22 rooms, but kept the trees, the low roofs and the quiet. Most of our 48 staff live in Canacona.

What customers say

Sample reviews, written for this demo. Real customer reviews replace them on your store.

We booked a pool villa for our anniversary. They left a plum cake and a handwritten card, and the beach was almost empty.
Sneha and Rohit · Mumbai
The kayak trip up the river was lovely, and our 11-year-old paddled the whole way.

Fish curry rice at lunch every day for a week. I would come back for the kitchen alone.

Questions

Before you book

Answers to what customers ask us most. More on the questions page.

When are you open?

From 1 October to 31 May. We close for the monsoon, when the sea is rough and the beach is closed for swimming.

How do we get there?

Dabolim airport is 75 minutes and Madgaon station 50 minutes by taxi. We book taxis at a fixed ₹2,400 from Dabolim.

Is the beach safe for swimming?

Yes, between the red and yellow flags from October to May, with a lifeguard on duty from 9 am to 6 pm.

Do you have rooms for families?

Yes. Our family suites sleep four, and we add a cot free for children under 3. Children under 6 stay free with breakfast.
