Goa

Coastal Paradise

Portuguese heritage, golden beaches, and laid-back charm—India's favorite beach destination.

Experience the Beauty of Goa

Goa is India's most laid-back destination. This former Portuguese colony on the Arabian Sea coast offers a unique blend of East and West—whitewashed churches stand alongside Hindu temples, spice plantations neighbor beach shacks, and the pace of life slows to match the gentle rhythm of the waves. Explore the historic churches of Old Goa, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Wander through spice plantations learning about cardamom, nutmeg, and vanilla. Enjoy fresh seafood at beachside restaurants as the sun sets over the Arabian Sea. Dance until dawn at beach parties or find solitude on hidden stretches of sand. Goa works beautifully as a relaxing conclusion to a cultural journey through India.
