About Secret Hill

The Space

Hidden in the quiet greenery of Colomb Bay, just a short walk from Patnem Beach, Secret Hill is a small sanctuary for those seeking rest, clarity, and reconnection.

The retreat sits gently on a breezy hilltop, surrounded by trees, birds, and the sound of the sea. The air is always fresh and lighter than the beaches below, touched by the rhythm of the Arabian Sea.

Secret Hill invites you to pause, step back, and return to what really matters.

Who We Are

Secret Hill is a meeting point of vision, values and practice.

It began with Monty, originally from Odisha, who spent over ten years working in the hospitality sector in Goa. He fell in love with the quiet beauty of this hill, and saw in it a place where his passions could come together: guests’ care, food, details and a way of welcoming that is both professional and deeply personal. Monty began the transformation of the land with patience and care, renovating the rooms, opening the small café, and shaping the garden that now surrounds the space.

Later, Melania, a Yoga and Meditation teacher from Italy based in Spain, joined the project. With a background in traditional Yoga, Ayurveda, and holistic living, and many years of experience teaching, travelling in India and developing conscious projects in different countries, she brought to the hill a new rhythm, one guided by daily practice, silence, and simplicity.

Together, we share a vision: to create a space where people can pause, heal and reconnect, with themselves, with nature, and with a slower, more mindful way of living, rooted in the timeless Indian culture.

Our Philosophy

We believe in revealing what’s already here instead of constructing more.
We’ve chosen to renovate and restore the existing structures, using natural materials wherever possible.

We are striving to keep the landscape as untouched as we can, respecting the land that gives so much to us.

We believe that the beauty of the hill speaks for itself.

Everything at Secret Hill follows a simple rhythm:

Meals are prepared fresh, using seasonal, local ingredients
Yoga is offered in its integrated, traditional form – asana, pranayama, meditation, philosophy
The atmosphere supports quiet and listening
Group sizes are intentionally small
The land is respected, not modified

We don’t promise change. But we offer a space where something real can quietly unfold.
