Maachli | Eco-Friendly Farmstay in Konkan, Maharashtra

About Us

Where Nature Meets Warm Hospitality

Maachli is an eco-friendly farmstay nestled in a tropical forest on the Konkan coast of Maharashtra. The name "Maachli" derives from the farmer huts that traditionally protect crops — our stay embodies this spirit of harmony with the land.

Built with local materials and designed to leave the smallest ecological footprint, Maachli offers a laid-back holiday away from mechanical living. Wake up to birdsong, breathe fresh forest air, and savour wholesome Konkani meals prepared on traditional mud stoves with organic produce straight from our farm.

Why Maachli

A Different Kind of Stay

Not a resort. Not a hotel. A home that welcomes guests.

Informal hospitality

A laid back holiday

Maachli is an opportunity for people who want to leave behind all the luxuries and mechanical living to connect with nature and enjoy the laid back holidays.

Hidden getaway

Maachli is a hidden getaway located in a very remote part of the village and also not to be found on any boards by the roadside.

Microclimate

Thick plantations and the stream that flows through the farm leads to the creation of a microclimate — staying in the dense plantations at Maachli is a unique experience.
