We were having a quiet beer the other evening, sitting on the terrace at Alessandra when someone spotted a dolphin, and then another! Right there in the shallow waters of the Arabian Sea in front of the resort, the dolphins had decided to pay us a visit once again. We all watched with delight as they swam around gliding in and out of the water.
Depending on tides and how busy the area is, the dolphins can be spotted whilst you are having your morning coffee at Alessandra. If you have yet to see a dolphin in the wild, it is difficult to describe how magical the experience is. I am always excited by their presence.
Turtles are also regular visitors to the area, though they seem to be avoiding Palolem this year, preferring the quieter beaches of Patnem and Agonda. Last year a turtle came to lay her eggs on Christmas Eve, right in front of Alessandra!
Bookings are coming in now for February, make sure you email us in advance to book one of the lovliest huts on the beach!

Our Rooms
We have twelve expertly made bamboo huts, all of them with a sea view and large balcony. The huts are on stilts in the sand and are comfortable and well maintained. Towels, Bed sheets, Toilet Paper, Soap and Blankets are provided. Rooms are cleaned daily and towels and sheets changed upon request.
All rooms are fully furnished, and the beds have large comfortable mattresses. All have electric fans and electricity sockets, as well as mosquito nets. Most rooms have room for an extra bed if required.
Eight of our rooms have en-suite bathrooms with hot water, toilet, shower and a large washbasin. Two of these rooms have a full-sized bath. We recommend en-suite rooms are booked in advance.
Our basic rooms have access to our shared toilets and showers, which are cleaned at intervals throughout the day and are very near to all the huts.
At Alessandra we believe our guests should enjoy staying right on the beach without lacking in any of the required comforts. The sound of the sea will lull you to sleep at night. There is always someone on duty at reception should you need anything and we have a safety box facility for each of our rooms. We also provide a laundry service.

Our Beach
Situated in the southern-most province of Goa, Canacona, Palolem is Goa’s most idyllic beach. The beach is lined with leaning coconut palms and white sands. Either end of the beach is surrounded by magnificent headlands. Monkey Island is nearest to Alessandra and at low tide, can easily be reached on foot.
Palolem is much more tranquil than Goa’s more northern beaches, providing a relaxing and enchanting atmosphere which will be difficult to leave. The local fisherman undertake dolphin spotting trips and boat trips to nearby beaches, and Alessandra will be happy to help organise this for you.
The village of Palolem is just a three-minute walk away from our resort and the local shops are fully stocked with anything you may need.
