Best Goa holiday apartments

On the west coast of India lies its smallest state: Goa. Tropical climate, white beaches, azure blue, crystal clear sea, palm trees and last but not least its impressive culture and history make this place a dream destination for many long-distance travellers. Direct flights, for example, are already relatively inexpensive from Frankfurt. Duration: A good nine hours. The optimal travel time is from October to the beginning of June, after the monsoon, with temperatures between 25 and 27 degrees Celsius. Similar to couchsurfing in Goa, you can now find a whole range of privately offered accommodation here. Outside the sterile tourist resorts you will stay in a comfortable apartment in Goa instead – without having to share a table and a bathroom with your host. In short, you get comfort and privacy in a charming room or cottage. You will find offers all over the region. And if you prefer to stay in an accommodation in Candolim near the capital Panaji, or if you prefer to live a little further north in an apartment in Aldona, is entirely up to your personal requirements and taste. From the small rustic bamboo hut near the beach to the modern apartment with its pool, everything is included.

Apartments in Goa, on the middle west coast of India

In addition to its beautiful beaches and bays, Goa has a lot more to offer. After a 450-year history as a colony of Portugal, Goa is today the most European region of India. A multitude of impressive buildings, including numerous mansions, bear witness to this imprint. In the former capital Velha Goa, churches and monasteries from this period are now UNESCO World Heritage Sites. In contrast, there are the colourful, traditional Hindu temples, which have been able to hold their own especially in the outskirts. Especially popular with visitors is the impressive construction of the Mangeshi Temple near Ponda. Before you retire to your apartment in Goa after an exciting day, you will of course have to do something for your physical well-being. And you will be amazed: Even the Goanesian cuisine is Mediterranean as well as Indian. There is a lot of rice and fresh fish. Coconut oil, chili, coriander and vinegar refine the dishes. A dessert made from eggs and coconut milk, the so-called “Bebinca”, is traditionally served at Christmas. A high-proof “Fenny”, distilled from cashew apples or coconuts, is considered the most popular alcoholic drink of Goas.

Private accommodations in Goa, dream vacation in tropical climate

You want to explore the nature of Goas? The mountains and highlands are densely wooded with magnolia, fig and teak trees as well as bamboo, lianas and ferns. Wild orchids grow here at every corner. And along the coast there are several palm trees, including the coconut palm. Although a large part of the country is infertile, sugar cane, coconut and cashew nuts, as well as rice are successfully cultivated. Occasionally, tropical fruits such as mangos, bananas or pineapples are also harvested. But first and foremost the population lives from fishing – and from tourism. Already at the end of the 60’s hordes of hippies from Western Europe discovered the dreamlike beaches of Goa and populated them. The Goa music and the accompanying Goa parties quickly made the place internationally famous. Another very popular holiday destination in India is its capital New Delhi. As the 29 hours drive through the country could be a bit difficult, you should use one of the inexpensive domestic flights to reach your Apartment in New Delhi from Goa. Would you rather stay close to water? Then how about a detour to a neighbouring island? From the southern tip of India, not even 60 kilometres – by ship or plane – separate you from another dream holiday destination and one night in an accommodation in Dodanduwa, Sri Lanka – before you make your way home again.
