Introduction

Have you wondered how you are going to be spending your retirement years? What would life be like when the kids have left home? Where will you live when you don't have to work anymore?

We created a checklist of what we needed for an ideal retired life and realized that there was no organized commune that had worked out every worry that we could think of, at least not in Goa. That was how the Bougainvilla Hermitage dream was born.

The main theme of the Bougainvilla Hermitage.

Here is a place where life can really begin after 50! Where you can enjoy a retired life that is full and meaningful, practice hobbies and crafts you’d postponed for later, kick off your shoes and enjoy the freedom you have earned - freedom, after years of working, parenting and the hundreds of other responsibilities.

At Bougainvilla-Hermitage, you can live a carefree, enriched, multifaceted post-retirement life, where personal growth can take priority – in an environment that is safe and secure. 

A place where state-of-the-art facilities provide you a stress-free life of pure leisure! A boutique Retirement Village where like-minded people will embark on a journey of self-discovery and growth!

The Village is completely senior-friendly. It has every modern amenity and service that will make retirement something you can look forward to. A place that takes caring to a whole new level! It is our aim to build a close-knit community that cares, where we can share our lives and dreams, where we can have security, dignity and comfort, where we can have friends and build relationships.

The Motto

More importantly, where we can be independent, but not alone!
