Laid Back Waters: A Houseboat in Goa

When you think of houseboats, Kerala often springs to mind. But nestled in the calm backwaters of Goa is Laid Back Waters — our serene, thoughtfully designed houseboat that redefines leisure and hospitality in this coastal paradise. 

Recently, a guest chose to spend 24 hours with us aboard Laid Back Waters — A little longer than our usual 18-hour experience, capturing every moment in a beautifully shot vlog. From drifting past untouched mangroves to watching a glowing sunset over Morjim Beach with chilled Kingfishers in hand, the video is a testament to everything we believe in — slow travel, personalized service, and the beauty of doing nothing at all.

“This may look like the kind of houseboats seen a lot in Kerala, but we stayed on one in Goa… We watched a stunning sunset over Morjim Beach… and had some of the best curry during our time in India.”
— Guest review, 2025

They sailed upriver, passed local fishermen and migratory birds, caught glimpses of Goan village life, and let the current gently guide them back — experiencing a side of Goa that few take the time to see.

While the drone may have crash-landed (twice!), their spirit of discovery never did. Their verdict?
“This was probably our favourite trip in Goa!”

More Than a Stay – A Philosophy of Hospitality

What makes Laid Back Waters special isn’t just the view or the food — it’s the feeling. From a warm smile at check-in to the chef personally tailoring your Goan curry just the way you like it, we believe hospitality is a journey of small, intentional touches.

This is the same belief we bring to every destination wedding, corporate retreat, and curated event we design across Goa. Whether you’re exchanging vows by the beach, hosting clients in a luxury villa, or discovering the quiet side of Goa by boat — we ensure every touchpoint reflects genuine care.

Discover Goa Like Never Before

Goa is more than nightlife and beach shacks. It’s hidden rivers, early morning bird calls, ancient villages, and moments of stillness that surprise you with their beauty. Our houseboat experience is designed to uncover that ‘other’ Goa — the one that’s laid-back, real, and unforgettable.
