7 Steps to Plan the Perfect Weekend Getaway to Goa

Isn’t Goa one of the favorite destinations for beaches in India? We love to imagine the idea of spending time next to a calm blue sea, warm sunsets, serene waves, cocktails, and good company. And to make our imagination live up to reality, foolproof planning is all it takes!


Here are 7 steps to plan for a perfect Goa getaway:


1.Pick the best time to visit: Winter is the perfect season to visit Goa. The weather is cool and soothing, perfect to enjoy sunsets, stroll the beaches, and check out exquisite spots. If you are a nature lover you’d love to see the greenery that sustains Panjim. Plan your visit according to the weather that suits your needs the best.


2.Pick the best beaches to explore: Morjim, Baga, Calangute are some of the best beaches in Goa. Morjim beach is a perfect place to relax, it has a calm and serene vibe, a beautiful view, and is famous for bird-watching sights.


Baga beach is famous for water-sports, so if you’re a sporty person it’s the perfect vibe for you! Whereas Calangute is one of the cleanest beaches in Goa. Calangute and Baga are both known for their nightlife.


3.Identify the best mode of transportation: Bus and trains are some of the cheapest modes you can take to travel to Goa. If you consider taking a flight from Mumbai to Goa, it’ll cost you around 2k/per person.


4.Pick the places to stay based on your interests: If you’re looking for nightlife, planning your stay around Baga beach is the best. Cavelossim is preferably more towards the family side. If you’re looking to explore the history, older parts of Panjim will have your heart. 


5.Identify the best activities to spend on: Water Sports in Baga beach are worth spending for, whether you wish to learn or just play around, the activities are worth it.


Paragliding in North Goa will fly you over breathtaking views, something to always remember!


Dive deep and experience the underwater world. Scuba diving will surely keep the blues away, especially when you’re surrounded by dolphins.


Flyboarding, Bungee Jumping, boat tours are other famous activities worth checking out.


6. Pick the best shopping places: Mackie’s night bazaar has a fun vibe where you can stroll the market and shop from clothes to home decor everything.


Le Souk is a beautiful store that offers high-end designer items.


Flea market in Anjuna has some of the best range of Indian spices, home decor, handmade items, sculptures, and so on. Gunpowder, Suzie’s, Burger factory are some of the best food places in Goa.


7. Identify things to avoid: Pack wisely, avoid packing too much, don’t litter beautiful beaches, avoid expensive taxi rides and hop on that bike. Be cautious and avoid being looted. If you plan it wisely based on your likings, it is surely a place to come back to. 


Remember to be safe, and in times of Covid remember to wear your masks and follow social distancing. Plan, pack your bags, and have an amazing time!
