Although Ayurvedic cuisine is available on request, it would be a pity to eat boiled vegetables when you could be feasting in the Copper Bowl Restaurant featuring Goan cuisine on the best lobster masala, perfect prawn balchao, incomparable chicken xacuti; choicest tiger prawns and finest squid in chili, or outstanding bebinca cake, made with layers of coconut milk and egg yolk, flambéed in fenni.

Plus it is the only Goan luxury boutique hotel which is built on the lines of a natural, traditional architecture concept using exposed masonry. Eco-friendly and with the minimum use of resources, it uses Goa's laterite stones liberally, hence the luxuriant glow it emits is distinctly Goan. The twittering of birds and a variety of flora and fauna enhance this other-world charm that makes your stay a tryst with nature and a solace for the soul.

The Pousada Tauma, is a small luxury boutique hotel, that is dramatically enhanced by a tropical garden. Moving through it, one experiences a sense of discovery, as buildings and open spaces slowly unfold as one goes along, where the lush planting of cool colours are offset by the brilliant warm, articulated laterite walls.

The swimming pool, is free-form, and possibly one of the best in Goa, with features like a bar, broad entrance steps off a pavilion, a wading area, a grotto with a waterfall and a pebbled beach with a little side stream. The pool deck is paved with Dholpur stones which feel cool when moistened and are non-slip.

Around the perimiter is a plethora of hand-crafted wooden-deck beds to relax, sun-bathe, soothed by the theraupetic sound of flowing water. The bottom and sides of the pool are finished in a striking artisticmosaic of "re-cycled broken tiles". The pool complex includes a pool-bar, pool-side pavilion and a water-cascade.
