Start your day with a visit to the Baga Beach, a buzzing spot for beach lovers, morning yoga enthusiasts, and adventure enthusiasts to indulge in a range of watersports. Head to the nearby Tito's for a boozy brunch or try the delicious seafood at Cavala. Spend the afternoon at the Poolside, W Goa, an exclusive destination that features a DJ, poolside bar, and incredible views of the Arabian Sea.
Explore Goa's rich historical heritage with a visit to Old Goa, a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its stunning 16th-century churches, cathedrals, and convents. Don't miss the stunning Basilica of Bom Jesus and the serene Se Cathedral. As darkness falls, get ready to experience the nightlife of Goa with a visit to Club Cabana or LPK Waterfront.
Take a boat ride to Butterfly Island, an exotic destination with breathtaking natural beauty and abundant flora and fauna. Spend a few hours sunbathing, exploring secluded beaches, and trying activities like kayaking and snorkeling. Return to the mainland for a dose of retail therapy at Mackie's Saturday Nite Bazaar, a vibrant open-air market perfect for buying souvenirs, clothes, jewelry, and handicrafts.
If you have more time, consider visiting some of the lesser-known beaches in Goa, like Mandrem, Agonda, and Palolem. Wine and dine at the The Black Sheep Bistro, or take a relaxing ayurvedic massage at Sukho Thai.
If you have less time, skip the shopping and head straight for the beach. Additionally, if you're an adventure enthusiast, try hiking to the Dudhsagar Falls or going on a crocodile safari at the Salim Ali Bird Sanctuary.
