At Mojigao, we’ve created a space where food, nature, wellness, and community come together slowly. Tucked inside the tropical jungle of Assagao, our resort and restaurant are surrounded by winding paths, open greenery, birdsong, and warm, earthy corners that make you want to pause for a while. You can begin the day with coffee and brunch, read a book in the open air, enjoy Mediterranean and Middle Eastern flavours, stay back for cocktails or live music, and let the setting do what it does best: help you slow down. For guests who love places that feel natural, relaxed, and full of character, Mojigao has become one of the most Instagrammable cafes in Goa.

  • We provide holistic wellness experiences, including an open-air yoga shala and a nature spa.

What makes our space unique in the heart of nature?

Embracing the Natural Landscape

Our property is designed to sit gently within its surroundings. The luxury cottages, dining spaces, pathways, and open areas are shaped around the greenery rather than away from it. Sunlight, fresh air, trees, and garden views are part of the experience, whether you are here for breakfast, brunch, a wellness session, or a longer stay. You can walk through the property, notice butterflies, listen to birds, and feel Assagao’s quieter rhythm around you. This close connection to nature is one of the reasons guests often place us among the best jungle cafes in Goa.

The Botanical Garden and Birdwatching Experience

At the heart of Mojigao is a garden-led experience that brings you closer to Goa’s natural side. The property is surrounded by tropical greenery, flowering plants, mature trees, shaded corners, and open spaces that encourage you to move slowly. Guests often spend time birdwatching, walking through the garden paths, or simply sitting with a book and listening to the sounds around them. From rustling leaves to birdsong and soft morning light, the setting creates a calm that feels very different from the usual café rush.

Curating a Vibrant Community Space

Beyond the natural setting, we also focus on creating a space where people can gather, share, and connect. Mojigao regularly hosts live music events, art exhibitions, eco pop-ups, and cultural evenings that bring together locals, travellers, artists, and families. Our adventure and play area, with its giant web, gives children and adults a playful corner to explore. This mix of food, art, music, nature, and community is what makes Mojigao feel less like a conventional café and more like a small world inside Assagao.

How do our culinary offerings redefine morning dining?

A Taste of the Mediterranean

Our restaurant brings together fresh, wholesome food with Mediterranean and Middle Eastern influences. The menu includes breakfast and brunch favourites, fresh salads, fusion tapas, seafood, smoothies, and dishes that work well for long, easy meals under the trees. We like food that feels generous without feeling heavy, familiar without becoming ordinary, and fresh enough to match the setting around it. This is why many guests consider Mojigao one of the best brunch places in Goa.

French Patisserie and Fresh Roasts

A good morning often begins with coffee, something freshly baked, and time to enjoy both. Our French patisserie brings in croissants, cakes, desserts, and comforting bakes that pair well with coffee, juices, smoothies, sandwiches, and toasts. Whether you are coming after yoga, meeting friends for breakfast, or easing into a slow workday, the food is meant to feel warm, relaxed, and satisfying. This quiet morning rhythm is one of the reasons guests know us as one of the breakfast places in Goa worth returning to.

Sundowners and Signature Cocktails

Sundowners feel different when you are surrounded by trees. As the day softens, our bar brings together handcrafted cocktails, refreshing drinks, and a relaxed evening mood that works well with music, conversation, and small plates. Whether you are staying for dinner, joining a live event, or simply stretching brunch into evening, Mojigao gives you a reason to linger a little longer.

What wellness and lifestyle experiences do we provide?

Holistic Healing at the Nature Spa

At our nature spa, the focus is on slowing the body and mind down. Guests can choose from Ayurvedic massage therapies and restorative treatments designed to complement the natural setting of the property. The experience is calm, simple, and rooted in the idea that wellness should feel connected to the place around you, not separate from it.

Movement in the Open-Air Yoga Shala

Our open-air yoga shala and jungle gym are part of Mojigao’s daily rhythm. We host yoga, fitness, and movement classes led by experienced teachers and coaches, with sessions that may include yoga, fitness, Capoeira, Kalaripayattu, or MMA. The space is open, green, and grounding, allowing guests to move, stretch, strengthen, and breathe with nature around them.

Curated Lifestyle Shopping

To complete your visit, we invite you to explore the Artjuna Collection shop located on our property. Here, you can discover clothing, lifestyle pieces, and local crafts that reflect the same relaxed, creative spirit as the rest of Mojigao. This mix of café, resort, wellness, culture, and lifestyle is what sets us apart from many cafes in Assagao, Goa.

Reflecting on the experiences we have built, we are grateful to share this little world in Assagao with you. Our goal has always been to create a place where you can pause, eat well, move gently, listen to music, meet people, and reconnect with nature. We invite you to visit our website  to learn more about upcoming events, view our seasonal offerings, and reserve your spot. We look forward to welcoming you soon.

Here’s what our guest said

Mats Eeman (Google Review)

“Stayed a month — good bed, good shower (important!). Then 3 hours of yoga every single morning except weekends (2 hours). Fresh up, go get a good breakfast (egg, shake & double espresso). Plan the day… either come back for dinner (mostly the goat cheese ravioli) or come back to total peace, because no one is there at the end of the night. Get another double espresso with a piece of cake or chocolate ice cream. Go back home better than ever, thanks to all the lovely staff. Next year, come back and enjoy the swimming pool!”
