Find HotelsFor a shorter trip, drop Day 4’s boat ride and spa session and allocate that time to a relaxed morning on Day 5; the total itinerary can be compressed into a 3‑day stay while still covering the main beaches and dining spots. To extend the vacation, add a day at Vagator Beach for sunset cliffs and a visit to the nearby Anjuna Flea Market, or spend an extra night at a beachfront resort in South Goa for more leisure time. Always carry a portable baby cooler, a lightweight stroller, and sunscreen; booking a car with a child seat in advance saves hassle, and most restaurants near Club Mahindra Acia are accustomed to families with infants.
