Goa is a well-established beach holiday destination on India's Arabian Sea coast and offers a laid-back destination for relaxation at the end of a tour of India.
With something of a reputation for hippies, raves and charter holiday hotels, Goa might have a reputation as being the "Ibiza of India", but rest assured there is more to Goa beyond bland hotels or backpackers beach shacks.
Alongside popular beaches such as Baga, Palolem and Vagatar, Goa offers historic attractions dating back to the Portuguese era in the 17th Century.
Spice plantations, an exciting cuisine, a handful of authentic boutique hotels and the dreamy relaxing atmosphere make Goa a compelling destination.
