Nestled along India’s southwest coast, a quick flight from the bustling city of Mumbai, Goa has been a favourite escape for locals and visitors alike. The relaxed, friendly atmosphere is as warm and inviting as the azure sea and golden sands.

Goa is a wellness capital and hotels and spas offer a wide variety of treatments including Ayurveda, Naturopathy and Yoga for the ultimate escape from everyday stresses.

December in Goa is also a bustling, vibrant time to visit, with celebrations and parties aplenty. Music lovers can enjoy the many festivals and those looking to dance the night away then the New Years Eve parties are the stuff of legend.

Weather-wise, December is a perfect time to visit the area with little to no rain getting in the way of your beach experience. The pleasant temperatures mean that you can take part in the many activities on offer, or simply unwind on the sand.
