Independent Goa travel

There are two very different sides to Goa, and it's certainly rewarding to experience independent Goa travel. One side of Goa is sultry, with beautiful sandy beaches, spicy food and plenty of exotic sunshine. The other is romantic and nostalgic, packed with palm-lined boulevards, crumbling old colonial mansions and whitewashed Portuguese churches.

Whether you want to explore independent Goa travel with the European history of tropical Goa or just relax on one of its many beaches, we have something that will do the trick. Laze outside your charming beach bunglalow in the north or choose a bamboo hut in the south. Alternatively, go for a classic and comfortable beach resort in the more lively Calangute.

The capital of Goa, Panjim, is a remarkable city of faded European glamour, and full of fascinating historical sights. Alternatively, you can head into the plush interior of Goa, staying in a colonial mansion set amongst coconut palms while you relax and recover from your trip so far.
