Off-the-beaten-track experiences in Goa

Even if you’re a self-confessed beach lover, you don’t have to simply stay along the sands when holidaying in Goa.

With so many different opportunities to embark on adventures, you’d be forgiven for not wanting to spend the entirety of your holiday on the famous palm-backed beaches of Goa. When you arrive in India’s richest state, you’ll find it hard to ignore the wonderful Portuguese influence, the beautiful natural landscapes and the colourful, eclectic culture – so why not get out and explore off the beaten track?
 

Escape to The Postcard Cuelim

The Postcard is the perfect place to unwind and soak up pure tranquillity away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

With strong roots within its Goan heritage, this historic boutique hotel is home to just eight rooms, offering an intimate and off-the-beaten-track feel.

The Ayurvedic spa offers a range of traditional massages and treatments from Ayurvedic experts, indulge during your stay for a true escape.

Get back to nature with Wildernest

Adding an overnight stay at Wildernest to your holiday in Goa means you can discover the state’s more rugged and natural side, where deep green valleys meet impressive waterfalls. Making your way into the Sahyadri Valley, you’ll get the opportunity to embark on guided forest treks, wildlife talks and birdwatching trails, allowing you to learn much about the area and the biodiversity of the state.

Maharaja Night

If camping on a rugged and untouched beach sounds like your idea of fun, our Maharaja Night excursion will not disappoint. Staying in a private safari tent under the palm trees that line the sand at Cola Beach in South Goa, you’ll be able to spend the day relaxing under the sunshine, or fishing, dolphin spotting, enjoying a walk – the choice is yours. When the sun starts to set, you’ll enjoy a Goan buffet dinner, and later a drink around the campfire before it’s time to head off to bed.
