Eco-Friendly Farmstay in Konkan

Stay in the lap of nature!

Experience the warmth of staying close to nature in a tropical forest on the beautiful Konkan coast of Maharashtra.

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.
