Stunning beaches and beautiful weather make Goa the ideal destination for sun lovers

More About Goa

Situated in the southwestern region of India, Goa is one of the most popular destinations in India with its sun-kissed beaches, spice gardens and fabulous food choices. You‘ll be greeted with a warm welcome and enjoy a cultural fusion of both eastern and western influences when you visit India's smallest and richest state. There's a unique identity here, mainly due to the influence of the Portuguese who landed in Goa in the early 16th Century. This is a sun-lovers paradise with white-sand beaches that draw visitors back year after year. Arossim Beach is perfect for a quiet day on the sands and the sunsets are truly amazing. Another quiet beach is Ashwem beach in North Goa. If you're looking for popular and lively though, you'd better head to Baga beach where you can sunbathe during the day and then indulge yourself in the lively Goan nightlife come the evening.It's not all beaches in Goa; key areas of interest for visitors include The Basilica of Bom Jesus is a wonderful example of ornate sixteenth-century Portuguese architecture. Located in Old Goa, the Basilica is a UNESCO World Heritage site and holds the mortal remains of St. Francis Xavier. Another popular attraction is the 500-year-old ruins of Chapora Fort. Set high above the Chapora River, you'll be treated to amazing views over Goa and out to the Arabian Sea if you take the steep walk from the base up to the top of the fort.
