Welcome to Your Goa Beach Retreat!

Welcome to Paradise Touchdown in Goa! Feel that warm air as you step off the plane? That's your holiday officially beginning! Our friendly rep will meet you at the airport – look for the big smile and the sign with your name. We'll whisk you off to your lovely beach resort in South Goa. How about the posh Alila Diwa Goa in Majorda? Once you're settled in, take a stroll around and get your bearings. Tonight, we'll all meet up for a tasty welcome dinner at the resort. It's a great chance to sample some Goan specialities and chat about the adventures ahead!

Beach Bliss Rise and shine! Today's all about those gorgeous Goan beaches. After brekkie, the morning's yours to enjoy Majorda Beach. Fancy a dip? The Arabian Sea is lovely and warm! In the afternoon, we'll pop over to check out two more stunners: Colva and Benaulim beaches. Bring your camera – the views are top-notch! As the day winds down, we'll grab sunset cocktails at a rustic beach shack. Toes in the sand, cool drink in hand – that's the Goa life!

Spice Up Your Life Hope you're feeling adventurous! Today we're heading inland to Ponda, famous for its spice plantations. You'll see (and smell!) all sorts of amazing spices growing. Did you know black pepper grows on vines? Next up are two beautiful Hindu temples: Shantadurga and Mangeshi. They're proper colourful and a great peek into Goa's spiritual side. Tonight's a real treat – a cooking class featuring Goan cuisine! You'll learn to whip up some local favourites. Fancy having a go at a proper Goan fish curry?

Time Travel in Old Goa Step back in time as we explore Old Goa this morning. Once called the "Rome of the East", it's packed with impressive churches. The Basilica of Bom Jesus is a real showstopper! In the afternoon, we'll wander around Panjim, Goa's capital. Keep an eye out for the pretty Portuguese-style buildings and bustling markets. Fancy picking up some souvenirs? To round off the day, we'll have a tasting of Feni, Goa's famous spirit. It's made from cashews or coconuts and packs quite a punch!

Splash and Sizzle Today's your chance to properly chill out. Spend the morning lounging on the resort's beach. Build a sandcastle, finish that book, or just soak up the sun. Feeling a bit more active? This afternoon we've got some brilliant water sports lined up. Fancy zooming around on a jet-ski? Or how about seeing Goa from above while parasailing? There's banana boat rides too if you don't mind getting a bit wet! For our last night together, we're having a proper beachside barbecue. Tuck into grilled seafood, listen to the waves, and chat about your favourite bits of the trip.

Namaste, Goa! All good things must come to an end, but let's make the most of your last morning! We've arranged a relaxing yoga session to start your day. It's a lovely way to say goodbye to Goa. After you've packed up, we'll get you to the airport in plenty of time for your flight home. Don't forget to grab some last-minute snacks for the journey!
