After spending a few weeks unwinding on Palolem Beach—swimming, surfing, and soaking up the sun—we decided it was time to explore some of the other activities the area had to offer.
Palolem is more than just a stunning beach; it’s a vibrant hub of experiences for both kids and adults. Among the variety of activities, Sandra booked an art class for Renee, which quickly turned into a family affair.
The art class, led by the talented and inspiring Swaroop, was a highlight of our stay. Swaroop’s warm and approachable nature made him a hit with both kids and grownups alike.
What started as an activity for Renee became an opportunity for all of us to tap into our creative sides. Swaroop’s patience and guidance transformed our hesitant brushstrokes into vibrant works of art.
By the end of the session, we had created some truly memorable paintings. Renee painted a graceful pony, Sandra worked on a beautiful mandala, and, with Swaroop’s help, I managed to draw an eye-catching tuk-tuk.
Each piece reflected not only our individual efforts but also the joyful atmosphere Swaroop fostered throughout the class.
The experience was more than just a lesson in art—it was a moment to bond, laugh, and explore creativity as a family. Swaroop also shared fascinating insights about art, local culture, and life, adding another layer of depth to the day.
The cost for this wonderful activity was just 1,000 Indian Rupees per person, making it an affordable and enriching way to spend time in Palolem. Best of all, we now have unique, hand-painted memories to hang on our walls back home, reminding us of the beautiful day spent learning and creating.
If you’re in Palolem and looking for something different, an art class with Swaroop is an experience not to be missed. It’s the perfect blend of relaxation, creativity, and cultural immersion, and it’s sure to leave you with memories—and masterpieces—to cherish.
