The Goa / West India / Goa region
They called it the Rome of the Orient – this lush, green expanse of beach, white palm-fringed sands, hills cascading down to the beach, tiny shacks offering the best of Goan cuisine and local wines and spirits. It is the ultimate holiday destination. Life is lived on the beaches sunbathing, having a massage, swimming, sipping chilled beer or kaju feni. In the evening a whole world of entertainment opens up. There are beach parties, lots of music, night clubs and casinos.
Goa is an amalgamation of Christian Portuguese and the Hindu Goan along with the remnants of the Muslim tradition. Goa is much more than beaches and sea. Excursions can easily be arranged to see the sites of historic Old Goa and the Basilica of Bom Jesus where the body of St. Francis Xavier is enshrined, Fort Aguada, Dhudsagar Falls , wild life sanctuaries, spice farm to name a few.
While most of the Northern Hemisphere experiences the winter blues, Goa is a balmy 28°C-32°C from November to April.
Goans are famous for their warm hospitality and every visitor is treated like a friend. English is widely spoken.

We had a great week staying in White Sands. The villa is well equipped, clean and comfortable. Bedrooms are air-conditioned (an absolute must) and all rooms have effective overhead fans. Superb swimming pool shared with other properties but never busy whilst we were there. The beach is within easy walking distance and is wonderful, with beach shack restaurants providing good cheap food - recommend Jammy's about ten minutes walk north up the beach, a good meal for four with drinks for under £15.. Two restaurants just outside the complex - food also good and inexpensive. Colva is a few minutes away by taxi (300 rupees one way) with gift shops, supermarkets, restaurants, internet cafes etc. The return trip by auto-rickshaw is 250 rupees. |
