Renting out your home in Morjim

Our advice for Morjim

Across the river, into Pernem

Morjim lies on the northern bank of the Chapora river mouth, in Pernem taluka, facing Chapora Fort across the water. Its wide, flat beach is one of the olive ridley turtle nesting sites that Goa protects, and the coastline continues north towards Ashwem and Mandrem. For years, Morjim has been nicknamed a little Russia because of the Russian-speaking visitors who spend the winter here, and in recent seasons it has also become a favourite of kitesurfers, yoga practitioners and Indian travellers looking for a calmer alternative to the Anjuna and Vagator side. The Mopa airport has made the area noticeably easier to reach.

Long winters, not long weekends

What distinguishes Morjim is the length of stay. Many guests arrive for several weeks or the whole season, from roughly November to March, and they choose a home the way a resident would: quiet, practical, close to the beach and to daily shops. Domestic weekenders do come, especially from Mumbai and Pune, but the backbone of demand is the long-stay traveller, including remote workers.
