7 nights · 8 days

A week on the South Goa coast

Seven nights in a coconut-grove resort in the south, with transfers and two excursions and the rest left alone.

A beach week, arranged so that almost nothing is arranged. Two excursions are in the price because they are genuinely worth doing; the other five days are deliberately empty.

South Goa rather than north: quieter beaches, more space, and a five to ten minute walk through the palms to the sand. If you want the north, say so and we will quote it, but they are not interchangeable.
