Goa Holidays

Found on the southeastern Indian coast, Goa is an interesting place to say the least. From its two-wheeler taxis to cows sunning themselves on the beach and its old hippy communities – this tropical paradise is wacky yet wonderful. It’s the kind of place which never fails to amaze you, especially when you discover it has over 7,000 bars.

There’s a huge focus on spirituality here with retreats dedicated to finding your inner Zen, think sunrise yoga, mediation sessions and healing courses. This Indian hotspot has its own personality too, which may have something to do with the stamp left by its Portuguese rule with influences found in everything from the buildings to its food and traditions. Stretching along the Arabian Sea, its string of golden sand beaches are extremely diverse, whether you’re looking for chill-out spots ideal for relaxing sunbathing stints or more commercial expanses filled with amenities and watersports.
