Start your luxurious trip with a trip to Old Goa, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, to witness the rich cultural and architectural heritage of the state. Visit the Basilica of Bom Jesus, a 400-year-old church that houses the remains of St. Francis Xavier. Next, explore the Se Cathedral and the Church of St. Francis of Assisi, two stunning examples of Portuguese architecture. Finish your day with a sunset cruise on the Mandovi River, enjoying spectacular views of Goa's coastline.
Take a luxurious break and relax on the picturesque beaches of Goa. Spend your morning at Baga Beach, known for its water sports and beach shacks. Move onto the serene Chapora Fort, offering spectacular views of the coastline. Next, head to the tranquil surroundings of Dudhsagar Falls, the largest waterfall in Goa, surrounded by lush green forests. Indulge in some luxury by taking a helicopter ride for an aerial view of the falls (subject to availability and weather conditions).
Spend your last day indulging in shopping and fine dining in the capital city of Panaji. Go street shopping in the famous Mapusa Market or head to the boutiques in upmarket Panjim Inn. Visit the 16th-century Fort Aguada, now a luxury hotel and spa overlooking the Arabian Sea, for some relaxation and breathtaking scenery. End your luxurious trip with a fine-dining experience at the Ritz-Carlton, which offers a range of cuisines and exceptional service.
If you have more time, consider visiting the beautiful beaches of Morjim and Anjuna. For a spiritual experience, head to the Shri Mangeshi Temple and Shree Shantadurga Temple. If you have less time, consider skipping Dudhsagar Falls and Fort Aguada and opt for a half-day tour of the South Goa beaches instead.
