Fridays at Saltamontes begin softly. As the week winds down, the garden settles into a quieter rhythm with an intimate live music session under the open sky. One artist, one voice, and a room that listens — that’s the essence of Friday nights here.

These evenings are designed for presence. The music is stripped back and soulful, allowing every note and lyric to land. Guests gather with drinks in hand, conversations fade into the background, and the space fills with a shared stillness that feels rare and grounding. It’s a gentle way to step into the weekend — unhurried, intentional, and warm.

Set in Anjuna’s lush surroundings, Saltamontes offers a listening experience where music and mood meet effortlessly. Whether you come alone or with company, these nights invite you to slow down and simply be. This is how Fridays begin at Saltamontes — with music, moonlight, and moments worth staying for.

What happens when a community comes together? At Saltamontes, it turns into art, stories, creativity, and a whole lot of heart. Our flea markets are a celebration of local makers, independent brands, artists, and collectors — all coming together in one vibrant, open-air space.

From handmade art and apparel to unique finds and personal stories shared across stalls, every flea market feels alive with energy. Guests wander through the garden, discovering pieces they didn’t know they were looking for, striking up conversations, and supporting small businesses along the way. It’s slow, social, and deeply rooted in connection.

More than just a market, these gatherings reflect the spirit of Saltamontes — community-led, inclusive, and creative. They’re about people showing up for each other and creating moments that go beyond buying and selling.

If you’re a maker, artist, or small brand looking to set up a stall, keep an eye out. Our next flea market announcement is coming soon.

Some nights don’t stay in their seats — they take over the floor. When Kern Dalton & Friends played at Saltamontes, the garden transformed into a full-on dance floor. From the very first note, the band pulled the crowd into a wave of energy, bringing timeless 50s, 60s, and 70s rock ’n’ roll classics to life.

The music was loud, familiar, and impossible to resist. Feet started tapping, bodies started moving, and soon the space was filled with people dancing, laughing, and singing along. It was the kind of night where generations of music met a room full of joy.

Set in the open-air garden café and bar in Anjuna, the evening captured everything Saltamontes stands for — live music that connects, a crowd that listens and participates, and moments that turn into memories. If there’s one rule for nights like these, it’s simple: come ready to move.

At Saltamontes, music has always been more than background sound — it’s a shared experience. We often ask artists what makes playing here different, and recently we asked Chao why he enjoys performing at Saltamontes. This is what he shared, in his own words:

“I’ll tell you one thing why I like Saltamontes, or why I like to play here. Because the crowd here — they’re here to listen to you. They’re not just eating or doing their own thing. Everyone actually looks at you. They’re listening to you, and that’s why you feel more connected with the crowd. That’s the one thing that I really like.

And of course the staff members — they’re very helpful. You ask for anything, you name it, they’ll get it. Thank you Saltamontes for giving me the opportunity to play. I’ve been playing here for the past six to seven months, and it’s been very nice. I feel practically like a part of the family.

For the community, I would like to wish everyone a very happy New Year. Whatever happened is in the past. We need to look forward — to a coming year with new opportunities, new homes, new things, and new music. To lots of music and celebrations.”

Hearing artists feel seen, supported, and at home is what keeps Saltamontes alive — for the music, the community, and the moments that stay long after the last note fades.

Work doesn’t always have to feel like work. At Saltamontes, productivity comes wrapped in greenery, fresh air, and the gentle soundtrack of nature. Birds chirp overhead, leaves rustle in the breeze, and the garden café setting creates a calm, unhurried atmosphere — ideal for thinking clearly, creating freely, and working at your own pace.

Whether you’re a digital nomad, a freelancer, or simply escaping the noise of traditional workspaces, Saltamontes offers a refreshing alternative. Settle into a shaded corner, order your favourite drink, and let the environment do what it does best — slow you down just enough to focus better.

As a co-working and co-living space in Anjuna, Saltamontes blends work and leisure effortlessly. Mornings flow into afternoons, laptops close, conversations begin, and the day transitions naturally into music, food, and community. Here, work fits into life — not the other way around.

Some nights at Saltamontes move at a different rhythm. Jazz Night is one of them. As the garden fills with warm light and conversations soften, saxophones, keys, and bass lines take over, setting the mood for an evening of effortless swing and soulful grooves.

Jazz Night is about getting lost in the music — the kind that pulls you in slowly, invites you to stay, and lingers long after the last note fades. Guests sip drinks, tap their feet, and sink into the sound, while the crowd listens closely, fully present in the moment.

Set in the heart of Anjuna, Saltamontes offers a relaxed, intimate space where live jazz feels personal and immersive. Whether you’re a longtime jazz lover or simply curious, the night welcomes you just as you are. Come for the groove, stay for the atmosphere, and let the music carry you through the evening.

At Saltamontes, not every gathering is about music and movement. Sometimes, it’s about stillness. Our recent breathwork session offered exactly that — a gentle pause in the middle of everyday life. Guided breathing, mindful awareness, and a shared sense of calm filled the space as guests slowed down, tuned inward, and let go.

Breathwork creates space to reset — especially for those feeling overwhelmed, restless, or mentally cluttered. In the familiar garden setting of Saltamontes, the session felt safe, grounding, and deeply restorative. No pressure, no performance — just breath, presence, and quiet connection.

As a space that hosts music, dance, and community gatherings, Saltamontes also holds room for wellness and reflection. These sessions are open to anyone seeking balance and stillness. If you’ve been craving a moment to breathe deeply and reconnect, keep an eye out — more breathwork sessions are coming soon.

At Saltamontes, the menu evolves just like the space itself — slowly, thoughtfully, and with a deep love for local flavours. Our Goan tapas menu is currently taking shape, and a few favourites have already found their way to the table. Right now, guests can enjoy crispy fried bhindi and prawn rissóis, served as easy, shareable plates meant to be savoured with drinks and conversation.

These small plates are designed for grazing — perfect alongside a cocktail, a cold beer, or a long evening of music in the garden. They reflect the spirit of Goa: bold flavours, relaxed pacing, and food that brings people together.

This is just the beginning. As we continue experimenting and refining, more Goan tapas will be dropping soon. Until then, try what’s on offer, soak in the vibes, and stay tuned — the best bites are yet to come.

Tuesdays at Saltamontes are anything but quiet. As the sun dips and the garden lights come on, the mic opens up for Karaoke Night — a weekly ritual that turns strangers into performers and friends into cheerleaders. The rules are simple: Sing. Take a free shot. Repeat.

From bold power ballads to nostalgic throwbacks and unexpected crowd favourites, karaoke at Saltamontes is less about perfection and more about participation. The crowd listens, sings along, laughs, and celebrates every performance — whether it’s your first time on the mic or your tenth song of the night.

Sundays at Saltamontes are all about movement, music, and connection. Jive Night brings a lively midweek rhythm to the garden, where dancers, beginners and seasoned swingers alike come together to move, mingle, and let loose. Set under warm lights and open skies, the evening blends classic swing energy with the easygoing charm that defines Saltamontes. It’s social, joyful, and effortlessly inviting — whether you’re dancing all night or simply soaking in the vibe with a drink in hand.

This December, Jive Wednesday gets a festive twist. On 24th December, Saltamontes hosts a Christmas Special Jive Social, turning the dance floor into a celebration of vintage sounds and holiday cheer. The night will feature a live 60s and 70s Rock ’n’ Roll set by Kern & Friends, bringing nostalgia, energy, and festive magic together.

Hosted at Saltamontes – Garden Cafe & Bar, Jive Wednesdays — and this Christmas Eve — promise music, movement, and memories worth keeping.
