The Traveller in Me: A Trip to Lotulim

Lotolim is located in the South of Goa accessible from the Cortalim junction, from Margao via Ria and from Ponda through the Borim Bridge. Now, this tiny village has the Zuari floating by it and you can be assured of some fresh fresh while you are here.


The hills of Lotolim border the Verna Industrial Estate with the river on the other side of it make a picturesque setting. The village is slow paced and you can tell as things have not changed here for years together. Although, now a days this village is preferred for a get-away home from the noisy and crowded cities there is very little doubt as to why people look for a second home here.

The famous Saviour of the World Church is here which speaks volumes of the Lotolims history. Another very famous place of interest is the Big Foot Goa, that describes Goa with statues depicting what Goa is truly about.

A home along this coast makes a great place to vacation. The sounds of the sea, the sea-gulls passing by and the cool breeze in your face, the makings of a place to just unwind. Now, the beauty of this area in Goa is that the prices are as low of Rs. 5000 per square meter! And if you are lucky you can also get an old existing home on sale!

Ribander: A potential hub for vacation rentals

Ribander is located in the north of Goa and is a 15 minute drive from the Panjim Bustand. Located on the banks of the river Mandovi, this area is a scenic drive getting to old Goa. Although development along the route bordering the Mandovi is limited due to space restrictions, it’s the Ribander plateau that is picking up a lot of interest.



The Ribander Plaetue is connected with the new bypass that leads to Old and Ponda. Development was slow over the years, but it was it in the last 3-4 years where development has picked up.  Townships are being developed,  with hundreds of apartments and villas already being 80%-90% complete. Raheja developers have constructed plenty of villas and Milcroc is a massive project of around 300-400 flats.



These are early and clear signs of a new suburb sprouting in the next few years. Considering the fact that the suburbs around Panjim, like Caranzalem, Dona- Paula, Porvorim and Taligao have already being congested along with prices hitting the maximum.

Considering an investment has a lot of potential to it mainly due to the fact that local buyers are showing keen interest in buying here. Shopping Malls and Cinemas plans are active as well and the availability of space is more than sufficient.

Much like what Porvorim was a few years ago, you can expect this area to witness a steady climb in rental income, however you would have to look at at-least a 3 – 5 year perspective for appreciation in the value of the asset
