About HostsOur Family

Melanie, Chris and JadeChristina Albuquerque are your hosts at Sunkizt.
Our homestay has evolved out of a string of happy blessings. We moved back to our ancesterial roots 15 years ago from Bombay where we were born and raised. Under our brand Marc Russell we ran a successful business of designing and manufacturing neckties and scarves for French fashion house PierreCardin, corporates and the cricket world cup ties 1996. After moving to Goa our beach house was featured in the Inside Outside magazine and on Star TV, Melanie then started her interior co Marc Russell Design and rediscovered her artistic side doing canvas paintings, photography, hand made christian icons, mirrors inspired by portuguese architecture and church windows.



Moving from our coastal home to this beautiful scenic village... Enjoying the picturesque beauty and unbelievable birds we decided to share this with others by opening our home to few discerning nature lovers.
We are avid cyclists... and enjoy the beautiful cycling routes and constant changing scenery in close vicinity to home. Jade is our daughter who loves swimming, athletics and tennis. Then comes the 4th member of the family our fourlegged son... Friendly and playful Daschund JOEY who loves the outdoors.
