An iconic multi-level beach shack on Anjuna Beach, famous for its sunset views, electronic music parties, and laid-back daytime atmosphere.
Discover what makes this destination truly special

Curlies is a well-known establishment located on the southern end of Anjuna Beach. It's not just a single shack but a large, multi-level complex with different sections, including a rooftop lounge, an indoor clubbing area, and a beachfront restaurant space. During the day, it operates as a relaxed beach shack where visitors can have a meal or a drink while looking out at the Arabian Sea. The atmosphere is casual, with people lounging on chairs set out on the sand. As the sun sets, the character of the place changes. It transforms into a high-energy party spot, famous for its electronic and psytrance music. The upper decks offer great vantage points for watching the sunset. At night, especially during the tourist season, the place gets crowded with people drawn by the music and party vibe. The layout allows for different experiences; you can find a quieter spot to sit or join the crowd on the dance floor. It's a landmark of Anjuna's social and party scene.
