Candolim Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)

Candolim Beach 🏖, Goa, India

Getting There - It is one of the most famous beaches in north Goa. You can get there by cab/taxi, scooter/bike, etc. Attractions - There are different water sports available at the beach including (but not limited to) parasailing, jet-skiing, banana boat, etc. But my favourite part was to relax on the beach sun loungers, have a foot massage (available on the spot) and gorge on some delicious chicken kebab and beer. The night time was even better to end the day with a romantic dinner by the beach. Hotels - We stayed at Novotel Goa Resort & Spa which was a 10-minute walk from the beach. There are plenty of luxurious and budget hotel options available near the beach. Food & Restaurants - Lunch was better in the beach restaurants compared to dinner. Have a good variety of both vegetarian and non-vegetarian options. #staycation #beaches #foodie #awesomepic #beachlover #summer #summertrip #travel #goa #india #indiatravel #travelphotography #createwithtrip #food #indianfood #blogger #wanderer #wanderlust #nomad

Crazily Relaxing

If you’re looking for a place like Macao in India, then obviously the previous latin land present day Bachelor’s dream destination GOA. There are lot of places that you can go around get wasted, get caught with police 👮‍♂️🚔 😛 and most importantly get drunk haha. It’s a crazy place attributing mostly to the beach 🏖️ places, probably that free air is letting us to breathe how freedom feels like. In one such vacation, we chose to have a hotel 🏨 stay for a day after three days of partying and everything. The hotel had a nice swimming pool 🏊‍♂️ with a bar nearby. Also nice food to fill up your tummy. #summervacation#beachvacation#hotelstay#urbanexplorer

Candolim Beach

When it sounded the word hippie👻, the first thought in my mind comes is freedom. Candolim beach situated in Northern part of Goa state, is home for many foreigners too as it was a Portuguese colony before. There are so many amazing restaurants along the beach side, few good western cuisine🥘🌯 as well. As our beach hopping continued 😝 to find the best out there; Candolim is much promising in the aspect of water sports, relaxing and chillax whatever ! In the evening it turns out as a party place, doing the hallmark Goa thing and keeping up the vibe 🕺💃 Between September to November will be the best time to be there with nice breeze and warmth of the sun 🌞 A three hour flight journey from Delhi could easily take you here. #goadiaries #summervacation#beachvacation #summervacation#beachvacation

Aguada

In this land of cultural heritage, holding the history of not only India 🕍 but from around the world like Portugal🎪, Britain⛪ and many other Latin countries; here we see an important port built by Portuguese. Aguada fort dating back to 16th century is situated in North Goa near to Candolim beach. The word 'Aguada' means freshwater in portuguese; as because there's a freshwater spring inside this fort which served as a replenishing spot for all the passing by portuguese ships🚢. There was a time, when this was the largest freshwater storage in Asia. Even today, this place is famous for movie shootings; as it provides a fantastic view of Arabian sea from the top of the hill. There's also a series of prison🏯 cells in the underground and an ammunitiion storage place to visit. You can take a bike to ride 🚲 to there. #goadiaries #indiatravel #summervacation#hikingtrails
