Goa Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)

Candolim Beach 🏖, Goa, India

Getting There - It is one of the most famous beaches in north Goa. You can get there by cab/taxi, scooter/bike, etc. Attractions - There are different water sports available at the beach including (but not limited to) parasailing, jet-skiing, banana boat, etc. But my favourite part was to relax on the beach sun loungers, have a foot massage (available on the spot) and gorge on some delicious chicken kebab and beer. The night time was even better to end the day with a romantic dinner by the beach. Hotels - We stayed at Novotel Goa Resort & Spa which was a 10-minute walk from the beach. There are plenty of luxurious and budget hotel options available near the beach. Food & Restaurants - Lunch was better in the beach restaurants compared to dinner. Have a good variety of both vegetarian and non-vegetarian options. #staycation #beaches #foodie #awesomepic #beachlover #summer #summertrip #travel #goa #india #indiatravel #travelphotography #createwithtrip #food #indianfood #blogger #wanderer #wanderlust #nomad

Crazily Relaxing

If you’re looking for a place like Macao in India, then obviously the previous latin land present day Bachelor’s dream destination GOA. There are lot of places that you can go around get wasted, get caught with police 👮‍♂️🚔 😛 and most importantly get drunk haha. It’s a crazy place attributing mostly to the beach 🏖️ places, probably that free air is letting us to breathe how freedom feels like. In one such vacation, we chose to have a hotel 🏨 stay for a day after three days of partying and everything. The hotel had a nice swimming pool 🏊‍♂️ with a bar nearby. Also nice food to fill up your tummy. #summervacation#beachvacation#hotelstay#urbanexplorer

Candolim Beach

When it sounded the word hippie👻, the first thought in my mind comes is freedom. Candolim beach situated in Northern part of Goa state, is home for many foreigners too as it was a Portuguese colony before. There are so many amazing restaurants along the beach side, few good western cuisine🥘🌯 as well. As our beach hopping continued 😝 to find the best out there; Candolim is much promising in the aspect of water sports, relaxing and chillax whatever ! In the evening it turns out as a party place, doing the hallmark Goa thing and keeping up the vibe 🕺💃 Between September to November will be the best time to be there with nice breeze and warmth of the sun 🌞 A three hour flight journey from Delhi could easily take you here. #goadiaries #summervacation#beachvacation #summervacation#beachvacation

Goa - The Paradise Of Tourist

#freehotelstay Goa is one of the most beautiful place in India. North Goa is for partying, Night life and water sports activities, but if you go to the South Goa, you can feel the calmness of nature and all. Some beautiful waterfalls, especially Dhoodhsagar waterfalls, the picture of dhoodhsagar will mesmerise your heart for sure, also the Portuguese Goan cuisine will melt your heart and tongue. Its a must visit place.

Over the fort

Forts were strategically built by the ancient emperors to have a view of the ocean to look out for any invading enemies by waterways. One such amazing fort you can see near Anjuna beach. It is quite old one and part of them maybe broken, so if you're up for something mystery then you can jump over the wall 🧱 at some places and explore on your own 😝 You can have a greater view of beach ⛱️ from here and also if you take a boat to nearby bat island 🏝️ you can see some old Russian buildings that were completely abandoned by then. This part of the beach is quite a mix of both history and modernity. #goadiaries #summervacation#beachvacation

Palolem Beach cool moments

Palolem Beach is a stretch of white sand on a bay in Goa, South India. It's known for its calm waters and for its nightlife, including "silent discos" where partygoers wear headphones. Lined with palm trees and colorful wooden shacks, the beach faces Canacona Island, known for its resident monkeys. To the south, turtles nest at Galgibaga Beach. Inland, Cotigao Wildlife Sanctuary is home to birds, wild boars and gaur. #seafoodfeast#camping#beaches#infinitypool

Goa is always a good idea

Good old hikes

It is always a refreshing memory 📝 thinking about my teenage when I was inquisitive about everything I did and what-if-I-try attitude. One such curiosity led us to this unexplored hiking 🥾 trail near Palolem beach 🏖️. If you're interested then you have to start near the Chapora fort and at some remote end on the top of fort there is an opening in the wall through which you have jump into going down the mountain. Soon after 10 minutes of walk from there, you will start to hike up again leading to the edge of the mountain. You can see the whole Palolem beach from there and all the waves 🌊 that's been formed and rushing towards beach !! It was truly a gem 💎 of discovery we made. #goadiaries #summervacation#beachvacation#hikingtrails

A memorable anniversary by the Beach

Anniversaries are personal moments where you need time with each other to sit down, relax and reminisce your journey as a couple. We took a trip along the South Goan coastlines to hop and spot the unhindered beach experiences. And we landed to #benaulimbeach that happens to be one of the many untouched paradises of the Goan coastline. Gentle waves, golden sunsets and soothing beach sand under your feet, makes it a worthy place to escape with your loved one. Getting There - self drive car, about 50 kms from Dabolim airport down south Attractions - beaches, shacks, palm trees, activities Hotels - Coastal Suites Apartments Benaulim

Memories of India Past

We've been to India numerous times. The experience impacts one every time - Taj Mahal, Rishikesh Yoga, Goa beaches. The old currency notes, though obsolete still hold value for the collector and for the memories. Rupees from 1 to 500 - even the old 1000 Rupees (replaced in 2016) - we rode the trains from Amritsar to Shimla to Jaipur and Jaisalmer - 2nd class sleeper as I recall for about 100 Rupees in the old days. Pleasant Journeys continue!#mytravelvlog #india #currency #rupees

Fresh Veggies Benaulim

Love the veggies, fresh & clean - happy, friendly faces too!#foodie #veggies #fresh

Baga Beach, Goa

Baga Beach is one the most famous beach located in North Goa. It is a very happening beach with numerous water sports and good shacks, restaurants and night clubs. At night, it always feels like there's carnival/festival ..the shacks are amazing.. there are awesome night clubs with one of the best Bollywood music in the country. Las Olas is my favourite club there. Baga beach is always full of lively crowd and you can enjoy every part of the day there - morning, noon, evening , night...one of my best hangout places in goa :-)

Luxurious hotel at Westin Goa

#hotelreview Address - Survey No 204/1 Sub Division 1, Dmello Vaddo, Anjuna, Goa 403509, India Ambiance/Facilities - voted one of the most premium hotels in Goa on trip.com. living up to its name. the entrance has really high ceiling. service was good. but the electrical grid might need some rewiring, always short circuit for like 1min. inconvenient if you’re showering as there’s no lights, they shld have back up lights. other wise breakfast is good, place is clean and beautiful. gym is big as well. Highlight - very clean Rating - 4/5
