Welcome to a quaint, charming world of its own, a sort of distant paradise.
The pool is the focal point - soothing and refreshing and the sound of running
water is an elixir which gives the 12 all Suite Boutique Hotel a tranquility
that is beguilingly addictive.
Conceived as an adult-experience, The Suites, scattered around the pool are
endowed with different motifs - the Sea, the Fields, the Mountains and Castle
which give one the very aroma of Goa.
But its greatest attraction is the Ayurveda Centre designed to tone up your
body, mind and soul. It is the only 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 laterite stones
liberally, hence the 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.
Location
Built on the concept of natural architecture, random rubble (of Goan laterite
stone), is used extensively. Normally used for foundation of homes, the rubble
has been fitted together like a jig-saw puzzle. For this feature, masons from
neighbouring states toiled a whole day to fix just 10 stones.
The rustic U-shaped Goan earthernware roof tiling utilised in Portuguese construction
design were carefully chosen and 'collected' over a period of 2 years for use
as roof finishing, since they effectively contribute to aesthetics and to cooler
temperatures because of their thermal design in ventilation. Current high procuring
and maintenance costs of such hand-crafted features of antiquity are sadly and
unfortunately not conducive to the economics of cost-effective, present day
construction.

The focal point of Pousada-Tauma 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 artistic mosaic of "re-cycled
broken tiles". The pool complex includes a pool-bar, pool-side pavilion
and a water-cascade.
