Why go

What makes Goa special

The little things that make Goa feel unlike anywhere else in India.

  • Susegad, the Goan way

    Susegad is Goa's relaxed, unhurried outlook: long lunches, afternoon siestas and nowhere urgent to be.

  • Indo-Portuguese soul

    Around 450 years of Portuguese rule, which ended in 1961, left pastel Latin quarters like Fontainhas in Panaji.

  • A cuisine of its own

    Coconut, kokum and vinegar shape Goan classics like xacuti, cafreal and vindaloo. Save room for layered bebinca.

  • Festivals all year

    Carnival parades before Lent, the Shigmo spring festival, and candlelit Christmas and New Year celebrations.

  • Golden-hour coastline

    West-facing beaches on the Arabian Sea turn almost every evening into a sunset show.
