Goa, India

One of the most popular tourist destinations of India, Goa is a hotbed for international and domestic tourists, known for its pristine beaches, rich flora and fauna, and beautiful, Portuguese-influenced architecture. With the highest GDP per capita in the country, Goa has no shortage of quality accommodation and attractions catered for those who enjoy a little indulgence on their vacations. Embark on Bollywood booze cruises; enjoy international and fusion cuisine; or just lounge on the beach in the day, which may transform into a fun after-dark open-air party in the night. Tuck into a luxurious double bed in cushy villas with sea views or five-star suites in low-rise hotels with your very own plunge pool.
