Tucked away in the lush hinterlands of South Goa, far from the typical beach crowds, Terra Goa is a hidden gem that’s been captivating locals and travellers.
More than just a restaurant, this tropical retreat, set in the serene Uddear Springs, offers the perfect mix of tranquillity and elegance.
Opened just a year ago, Terra was born with one simple vision: to reveal a different side of Goa. Reynold Abranches, the owner, shares the story behind this unique haven that invites you to escape, unwind and immerse yourself in nature’s embrace.
CAFE BY DAY, BAR BY NIGHT
Whether you’re looking for a rich morning latte, made from beans grown in Chikmagalur or a nightcap in the form of an innovative cocktail, Terra offers the perfect spot.
The relaxed, yet energetic, vibe transitions effortlessly from day to night, making it the perfect place for a lazy afternoon or a lively evening out. Conveniently located – just a 20-minute drive from Panjim, Margao, and Vasco – Terra is easily accessible to anyone looking for a peaceful, yet lively escape.
The word 'Terra', means ‘earth,’ and is a direct reflection of the space itself. Inspired by the rocks and natural elements surrounding it, Terra is seamlessly integrates with the land.

WHATS IN A NAME
Surrounded by nature, it would be hardly surprising that the place is called 'Terra'.
“The word 'Terra', means ‘earth,’ and is a direct reflection of the space itself. Inspired by the rocks and natural elements surrounding it, Terra is seamlessly integrates with the land,” explains Reynold.
“The space was thoughtfully designed to ensure that guests feel one with nature, with every corner reflecting the rustic beauty of Goa’s hinterlands. Whether you’re lounging in the garden, sipping coffee indoors, or enjoying a drink at the bar, Terra’s connection to the earth is undeniable,” he adds.
BEHIND TERRA
Terra is the latest creation of Reynold, a passionate Goan who has long been known for his unique hospitality ventures, such as Soul Soufflé and La Copitas, both in Verna.
With a sharp eye for design and a love for authentic experiences, Reynold’s vision for Terra is to celebrate Goa in a way that’s fresh, vibrant and deeply rooted in its natural beauty — a side that’s rooted in nature, peaceful vibes, and, of course, exceptional food that goes beyond its beaches.
