Goa
Sun, sand and Susegad
Golden beaches, Portuguese-era churches, spice farms and sunsets that turn into long nights — Goa does laid-back and lively equally well.
Why travellers love Goa
Golden beaches, Portuguese-era churches, spice farms and sunsets that turn into long nights — Goa does laid-back and lively equally well. Plan around November – February for the best weather, and allow 4 – 6 days to see it properly.
Goa, India's smallest state, sits on the Konkan coast along the Arabian Sea and is the country's favourite beach escape. Palm-fringed shores, whitewashed Portuguese-era churches, spice plantations and a laid-back susegad lifestyle make it ideal for couples, families and friends alike.
North Goa
Lively beaches such as Calangute, Baga, Anjuna and Vagator, the clifftop Chapora and Aguada forts, flea markets, water sports and famous nightlife.
South Goa
Quieter, cleaner beaches like Colva, Benaulim and Palolem, the UNESCO-listed churches of Old Goa including the Basilica of Bom Jesus, and the Mangueshi and Shanta Durga temples.
