Details

  • Join Travel Buddies as we leave the winter behind and say “Hello” to 2026 mid flight!
  • Sandy beaches, fishing villages and coconut groves are just some of the many reasons why Goa is the perfect place to start 2026. Enjoy the guided handpicked excursions as well as having time to relax and explore at your own pace.
  • Enjoy 10 glorious nights at two handpicked hotels, 5 nights in Agonda in the South of Goa and 5 nights in Anjuna in the North.

A holiday destination since colonial times, Goa is known for being a beachy bohemian paradise, where the pace of life slows, and the emphasis is on relaxation. Goa is much more than just its beaches, with a unique blend of Indian and Portuguese cultures reflected in its well-preserved architecture, lively markets and delicious cuisine.
