Space Goa

Palolem


On the Agonda road, the Space Goa combines an excellent organic whole-food cafe with a gourmet deli, craft shop and a wellness centre offering meditation, acupuncture and other healing treatments. The food is fresh and delicious and the desserts – such as chocolate-beetroot cake – are divine. Drop-in morning yoga classes are ₹500.
