The Best Stories Take the Rare Route
Born in Goa, Rare Escapes is an experiential travel company backed by Manas Developers. We reveal the Goa beyond the familiar – through its people, culture, landscapes and stories.
Curated around you
Cycle through hidden villages, walk with local storytellers, taste Goa at its source, paddle quiet backwaters or retreat into nature. Choose one experience or let us design the entire journey – including stays, concierge, celebrations and private escapes.
Local at Heart. Elevated in Every Detail.
Thoughtfully selected, never crowded. Every journey combines trusted local relationships with attentive planning, authentic storytelling, and service shaped around the traveller.
