'HURRY' NOT IN GOA'S LEXICON

Embrace the calm Goan way by exploring at your own pace. Wander through charming villages, visit local markets, or just go on a slow drive on the scenic coastal roads.

SAVOUR EVERY BITE

Don't rush through your meal. Enjoy the Goan cuisine at a relaxed pace. Whether it’s seafood at a beach shack or a home-cooked meal at a homestay, there's so much more to savour than just food.

SIESTA A MUST

Do you remember the word siesta. In Goa, it's a luxury people can still afford. This afternoon nap is a must in Goa. After a big lunch, find a comfy place and enjoy a snooze.

GOA MEANS SUSEGAD

'Susegad' means being in the moment and enjoying small things in life. It's about watching the sunset, having a cup of tea, or just taking a deep breath and practicing mindfulness every day.
