Boho Beach Charm Meets Tropical Craftsmanship in Goa’s Newest Restaurant Retreat

About the Project

Set against the vibrant backdrop of Anjuna Beach, this 3,500 sq. ft tropical-themed restaurant invites guests to dine in harmony with nature. Designed by Rushabh Munot, the space blends muted nude tones, earthy textures, cane furnishings, and curated artwork to create a setting that is effortlessly stylish and soulfully rooted in its surroundings.

What makes Makani On The Beach truly captivating is the way it was crafted—without measured drawings. The team studied the site in its raw form, working hands-on to understand structural constraints while designing around a vision of simplicity, sustainability, and spatial elegance. The result? A warm, immersive setting with interconnected indoor and semi-outdoor zones that feel as breezy and grounded as the Goan coast itself.

Architectural Highlights

  • MS Roof with Pinewood Soffit: A showstopper in its own right, the thoughtfully designed roof adds warmth and rhythm to the interiors.

  • Organic Bar Feature: A cut-down tree repurposed as a hanging bar element infuses rustic charm with environmental mindfulness.

  • Waves & Patterns: Roof detailing, patterned elements, and natural wooden planks come together to echo the rhythm of the nearby ocean.

From curated art to custom wooden and wicker furniture, every inch of the space embodies the laid-back sophistication of a true tropical escape.
