Why Goa, India.
Goa strings 100 kilometres of Arabian Sea beaches along India’s west coast — a culture unto itself within the country.
Four centuries of Portuguese rule left UNESCO-listed baroque churches in Old Goa and a distinctive Indo-Portuguese cuisine (vindaloo, sorpotel).
The north (Anjuna, Vagator, Morjim) is the party-and-market Goa; the south (Palolem, Agonda) is serene, palm-backed, and barefoot.
Beach-shack culture — fresh seafood, feni, and sunset over the sea — is the rhythm of a Goa day.
It is India at its most relaxed: warm, colourful, and a easy first taste of the subcontinent for beach lovers.
