North Goa holidays put a traditional spin on your classic beach break. Standout sands hold hands with fizzing marketplaces, thatched-roof bars and Portuguese architecture.
Multi-skilled
North Goa’s got more variety than a Christmas selection box, with everything from roomy beaches to historic sites in its repertoire. You’ll find European-style churches and a Portuguese fortress in slow-paced Candolim, and buzzy nightlife and around-the-world dining in neighbouring Calangute. Arpora, meanwhile, is a more timid character, but gets a throng of visitors to its famous Saturday Night Market.
Bumper beach
The seafront scenery’s the most extravagant feather in North Goa’s cap. You’d need a set of binoculars to see from one end of the beach to the other, and it’s polka-dotted with every-colour sunloungers and thatched-roof beach bars. Watersports are a worthy runner-up to lounging on the sand, with jet-skiing and parasailing among the most popular picks.
