Goa : book your hotel

Sun-washed beaches, spice-scented kitchens, and a rhythm that moves at its own unhurried pace: this is Goa at its most free-spirited. Goa effortlessly blends culture, creativity, and barefoot luxury on its palm-fringed shores, making it a dream destination for all types of travellers. When you travel to Goa, you’ll see Portuguese-era churches, lively markets overflowing with color, and quiet waters perfect for peaceful moments. Experience authentic local cuisine, vibrant festivals, and a welcoming community that invites you to slow down and savour every detail.

Goa’s magic lies in its contrasts. While Goa is India’s smallest state by population, it offers one of the most vibrant nightlife scenes in the country. Here, you can discover the UNESCO-listed churches of Old Goa, wander the pastel lanes of Fontainhas in Panjim, or unwind on the sands of Candolim and Vagator. Sunset cruises along the Mandovi River reveal a softer side of the city, while Divar Island offers a glimpse of village life untouched by time. Stay near Candolim Beach at Novotel Goa Candolim, or explore Panjim’s cultural heart from Novotel Goa Panjim. If you prefer to be surrounded by lush greenery, you can retreat to the riverside at Mercure Goa Devaaya Resort near Old Goa’s historic landmarks.
