South Goa Honeymoon Itinerary - October 2023

  1. Day 1: Palolem Beach
    40 minutes (19.1 km) from Dabolim Airport

    Start your honeymoon at one of the most scenic beaches in the South of Goa - Palolem Beach. Nestled between two headlands, this crescent-shaped beach is fringed with shady coconut palms and boasts clear turquoise waters. Enjoy swimming, sunbathing, or indulging in a couple's massage by the beachside. Take a romantic walk along the shore during sunset, before grabbing dinner at one of the beach shacks offering fresh seafood.

  2. Day 2: Cabo De Rama Fort
    1 hour 14 minutes (37.7 km) from Palolem Beach

    Make a trip to Cabo De Rama Fort, a Portuguese fort that overlooks the Arabian Sea. The fort boasts breathtaking views of the coastline and is surrounded by lush greenery. Visit the chapel inside and take a short hike to the cliff at the edge of the fort. Stay for sunset and enjoy the beautiful colours of dusk. End the day with a candlelight dinner at one of the nearby restaurants.

  3. Day 3: Dudhsagar Falls
    2 hours 15 minutes (79.1 km) from Cabo De Rama Fort

    Spend your last day visiting the famous Dudhsagar Falls, one of the tallest waterfalls in India located on the Mandovi River. The milky white water cascading down the rocks creates a surreal sight. Take a dip in the natural pool created by the waterfall or go on a trek through the Bhagwan Mahavir Wildlife Sanctuary. End your trip by shopping for souvenirs, Goan spices, and cashews at the nearby shops.
