10-night holidays to Goa

Updated on May 23, 2019 by Stacey Parsons

Blog > 10-night holidays to Goa

If seven nights isn't quite enough time to completely unwind, we're confident that having just a few more days under the sun is sure to help...

If you dream of swapping some of the UK winter in favour of sunshine and palm-lined sandy bays, you're in luck. With temperatures easily reaching the early-thirties between October and April, Goa is a fantastic choice when it comes to a winter sun holiday. Plus, when a week isn't quite enough, we offer both 10 and 11-night escapes too, so you can take a slightly longer, well-earned break.

How to make the most of a 10-night holiday in Goa 

Having the extra few days to play with can be a great opportunity to explore a multi-centre holiday, staying at more than one hotel during your time in India. You could opt for a basic hotel to start, leading into luxury for a touch of indulgence, or pick two or even three 5-star properties which offer everything you could want and more to make your holiday a truly unforgettable experience.

10 and 11-night single-centre package holidays 

You don't have to embark on an adventure during your time in Goa. If you'd prefer to stick to just one hotel that's no problem at all - there's ample opportunity to relax and spend more time next to the pool or along the golden beach. Our ever-growing programme means we've got something to suit every taste and budget, but here are some of our top choices when it comes to a 10 or 11-night stay in Goa... 

Keep it simple at Santana Beach Resort 

Set in a fantastic location close to Candolim's bustling village and long expanse of beach, Santana Beach Resort is one of our best-selling hotels. Take a dip in one of the two pools and make use of the bars on-site, or take a short stroll to the beach shacks on the sand or the restaurants in Candolim. Find out more.

 

Go for a touch of luxury at Azaya Beach Resort 

Next to Benaulim Beach in the south of the state, Azaya Beach Resort is modern luxury at its best. Bright bold colours and stylish furnishings help to showcase the hotel's indulgent side, and with a pool, five restaurants and bars, the Prana Spa and all kinds of fantastic room upgrades available (including some with private plunge pools), you'll be in holiday mode in no time at all.

Choose Sonesta Inns as your mid-range oasis 

Sitting comfortably in our mid-range collection, Sonesta Inns is a tranquil hotel boasting a tropical atmosphere, with a large pool and modern guest rooms just a short walk from Candolim village and beach.

Day 1: Departing Goa for Delhi our representative will meet you in the arrivals area of the airport. They will assist with your private transfer to your Delhi hotel which will be your base for two nights.

Day 2: This morning, you will depart Delhi railway staion to Agra. Once a small village on the banks of the Yamuna, it was transformed by two great Mughal monarchs, Akbar and his grandson Shah Jehan into the second capital of the Mughal Empire, Dar-ul-Khilafat, or ‘seat of the Emperor’ in the 16th and 17th century.

Taj Mahal

When you arrive in Agra you will be met by our representative who will introduce you to your guide who will take you to Taj Mahal (closed on Fridays). On the inner walls, jewel-like stones create beautiful designs in white marble. The Mughals perfected the art of embedding semi-precious stones into marble and the Taj is the finest example of this special process called pietra dura. It begins with a marble plate, varying in size. Then jewels are sliced paper thin and embedded in the marble with such precision that the joints are invisible to the naked eye. Continue for a visit to the Agra Fort, a walled city constructed of red stone which was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1983. Construction of the fort was originally started by Emperor Akbar in 1565, but his son, Jahangir, and grandson, Shah Jahan, later made valuable additions to it.

You will also visit Itmad ud Daula, also known as Baby Taj. This tomb was built in 1622 for Ghiyas Beg, father of Empress Noor-Jahan, the wife of Emperor Jahangir. It is beautifully conceived in white marble, mosaic and lattice and set a precedent as the first Mughal building to be faced with white marble inlaid with contrasting stones.

Later, you will be driven back to Agra Cantt railway station, where you will board your train back to Delhi.

Day 3: After breakfast, proceed for the orientation city tour of Old and New Delhi including a visit of the 17th-century Jama Masjid and enjoy a rickshaw ride through the narrow, winding lanes of colourful and bustling Chandni Chowk. Stop in front of the Mughal Empire’s most opulent fort, the Red Fort for a photo opportunity.

Later proceed to New Delhi where you will be taken for a drive past the Presidential Palace, the one-time imperial residence of the British viceroys, the India Gate, a memorial raised in honour of fallen Indian soldiers and a drive along the Rajpath past the Parliament House and secretarial buildings. You will also visit Qutab Minar, the 12th-century tower of victory built by a slave king and prototype of all minars (towers) in India.

After the tour you will be transferred to Delhi Airport to board your short flight back to Goa.
