After a relaxed arrival, ease into Goa life with a leisurely breakfast on Sasha Holidays Village’s shaded terrace where your pet can roam the lawn while you sample local Goan ponche and freshly made bebinca. Spend the late morning exploring the resort grounds and nearby Morjim backstreets — stroll to a quiet café for a coconut water, visit a small pet-friendly boutique for beach gear, and enjoy a gentle walk along the quieter stretch of sand near Morjim where your dog can stretch its legs before afternoon check-in routines and the evening beach plans.
After a relaxed late-morning stroll, head to Arpora’s Saturday flea-style market area (off-peak in the afternoon) to browse artisanal stalls and pick up locally made dog treats and a light linen scarf for yourself; many vendors are pet-friendly and happy to pose for a photo with your pup. Follow this with a calm, shaded walk through the nearby Saligao village lanes to Café Alchemia (or a similar pet-welcoming cafe) for iced coffee and a chilled Goan xacuti snack while your dog lounges under your table, then return to Sasha Holidays Village in time to freshen up for the evening beach outing.
As the sun softens, head to Ashvem Beach for a relaxed seaside dinner at La Plage where your pet can sit with you on the sand while you savor fresh seafood and a Goan fish curry pizza; the beachside lights and gentle waves make for a peaceful first-night atmosphere. After dinner, take a short moonlit stroll toward the nearby seafood shacks and stop by a beachside vendor selling roasted cashews and local sweets before returning to Sasha Holidays Village for an easy nightcap on the resort lawn with your pup.
Start your day with a sunrise stroll along Calangute Beach, where you can join local dog-walkers and let your pet splash in the shallows before breakfast; follow this with a hearty coastal brunch at Souza Lobo’s outdoor section (pet-friendly seating available) to try Goan omelette and kingfish fry. Afterward, head to the nearby Baga River promenade for a relaxing boat ride from the estuary—many operators allow well-behaved pets—and finish with a visit to a pet-friendly surf shack for a beginner lesson or relaxed paddle-board session so both you and your dog can enjoy the water together.
After your morning surf or boat time, head to the pet-friendly Thalassa-style café at Cavrem for a leisurely lunch on its terrace where your dog can relax in the shaded outdoor area while you sample grilled prawns and a Goan prawn curry. Later, wander through the nearby Saturday-style market at Arpora’s evening lanes (many stalls open earlier in the afternoon), picking up handcrafted collars and organic dog treats, then take a short drive to the quieter Ozran (Little Vagator) cliffside for golden-hour views and a calm leash-walk along the headland before returning to Sasha Holidays Village.
Wind down the day with a sunset visit to Sinquerim Fort’s grassy ramparts where you and your dog can watch the sky blush over the Arabian Sea before walking down to the quieter Candolim shoreline for an alfresco dinner at Fisherman’s Wharf’s outdoor pet-friendly terrace, sampling spicy Goan prawn balchão and chilled feni cocktails. After dinner, stroll through the lively Calangute night market lanes to pick up handmade leashes and artisanal dog treats from stall vendors, then return to Sasha Holidays Village for a relaxed rooftop chat and a final glass of wine while your pup dozes comfortably by your feet.
Ease into your final morning with a relaxed garden breakfast at Sasha Holidays Village, then take a short pet-friendly drive to the tranquil Keri (Querim) backwaters for a gentle canoe trip—many local operators welcome leashed dogs and the still water is perfect for a calm paddle. Afterward, stop at a nearby roadside stall for fresh sugarcane juice and warm sannas before returning to the resort to pack, enjoy a last walk on the lawn with your pup, and arrange a mid-morning transfer back to your onward connection.
After a relaxed mid-morning pack-up, take a short drive to the serene Mandrem estuary for a gentle riverside picnic at Mandrem Beach Café where your dog can paddle in the shallow lagoon while you enjoy fresh Goan fish vindaloo tapas and king coconut water. Later, stop at a nearby pet-friendly boutique in Mandrem village to pick up last-minute local snacks and a handmade leash, then return to Sasha Holidays Village to complete check-out formalities and arrange a calm transfer with a pet-friendly taxi service to your onward journey.
Before your onward journey, enjoy a relaxed final evening at Quinta Do Mar beachside café in Morjim — its shaded terrace welcomes dogs and serves light Goan tapas like prawn recheado and chilled kokum cooler while you reminisce about the trip. After dinner, take a short twilight drive to the quiet Chapora River viewpoint for a gentle leash walk along the estuary banks and a last sunset reflection, then return to Sasha Holidays Village to collect your bags and meet your pet-friendly transfer.
