Hotels in Goa, India

Goa is a small state on India's west coast, famous for its Portuguese colonial history and sandy beaches. The climate is tropical, with dry winters (75°F/24°C) perfect for partying at Baga Beach or exploring the 16th-century Basilica of Bom Jesus in Old Goa, and rainy summers (85°F/29°C) ideal for cheaper stays and river cruises along the Mandovi. If you visit between November and February, you can hit the flea markets in Anjuna or try water sports like parasailing at Calangute, while the monsoon months from June to September bring lush green landscapes and fewer tourists.
