Most often you’ll hear about Goa from someone who’s a rather avid partygoer, with little to no interest what this southwestern region of India contains inland.

It goes without saying that the same rules apply to the newlyweds. Those who look up honeymoon packages from Mumbai to Goa are neither that interested in its cultural nor spiritual properties and care little about changing that. Of course, there are exceptions to this rule but let’s face it – most people interested in spending their honeymoon for cultural and personal growth are going to look at some other places in India instead, not Goa.

Naturally, we’ll keep an open mind about it and cover all of the aspects of this nightlife oriented region, with a bit of a focus on its youthful scene. Not every honeymoon trip has to be about relaxation and laziness after all.

Best Honeymoon Destinations in Goa

As we’ve already established, Goa doesn’t really qualify among romantic honeymoon ideas, it’s more in the range of non-stop partying and hardcore clubbing kinds of activities.

Not everyone that comes here falls under this generalization, but it’s definitely the number one reason to be here. After party-goers, comprised mostly of Brits and Russians looking for a cheap, dedicated party destination, the second largest group of people that come to Goa are adventure seekers. Besides providing the biggest and wildest social events, Goa also attracts those wishing to have some unforgettable time in the water. Scuba-diving, snorkelling, parasailing, dinghy sailing, jet skiing and plenty of other water sports await those curious enough to give such challenges a go.

A Beach and Pristine Water in Goa

An amazing thing about Goa is that it doesn’t matter where you are. Most often, tourists opt for honeymoon resorts located in cities such as Panaji or Vasco da Gama and call it their home base. However, it doesn’t really matter where you are in Goa, because the beaches and the Arabian Sea are at arm’s length from you. You’re free to go exploring along Goa’s coastline at your own behest, finding the best honeymoon spots for you and your significant other.

The aforementioned Panaji is the capital city of the region and it’s very close to the line splitting the region of Goa into two parts. In North Goa, you’ll find all the parties that you could ever hope for in destinations such as Anjuna, while the South Goa provides a more relaxed version of your getaway.

Honeymoon Spots in Goa

After providing you with a broad overview of where to go and what to do, the next step is to familiarise you with specific honeymoon spots that will bring out as much romance as possible in this party haven.

Anjuna Beach

A honeymoon holiday on the stunning Anjuna Beach is as youthful as it gets. From October to April, Anjuna is home to some of the wildest trance parties in the world, drawing in visitors from every corner of the world. In spite of its raving visitors that make their home here during this period, Anjuna Beach retains its cleanliness and crystal-clear waters that are truly representative of the beauty of this region. Another thing you can do besides hanging around the beach is browsing souvenirs and other goods at the local flea market. If you want to see a more spiritual side of Anjuna, pay your respects at the St. Michael’s Church.

Baga Beach

Yet another beach in the North Goa, Baga Beach embodies the lively, untamed spirit of Goa. It is the most famous beach in the region, with everything at your disposal – dance parties, banana rides, water sports and astonishing dolphin cruises. You can go parasailing or scuba-diving if these are right up your alley, or just get some cocktails and worry about nothing as you remember your illustrious wedding. Baga Beach is the perfect place to let go off some steam and do whatever it is young couples do in Goa.

There’s even a great waterpark called Monsoon Fun Park, just the right place to shave the edge off the day.

Basilica of Bom Jesus

We did say that we’d add something other than endless beaches, and trust us, they really are endless. Basilica of Bom Jesus is one of the better things Goa has inherited from the Portuguese, arguably the best representative of baroque architecture in India. Protected by its status as UNESCO’s World Heritage Site, it houses the remains of St. Francis Xavier and nurses spirituality in Goa.

Best Time to Visit Goa

The majority of visitors to Goa are mostly interested in vacation packages handling the months of November through March.

Considering that most of the travellers who come to the party kingdom are in fact strangers from all over the world, it makes a lot of sense that they like to avoid the scorching sun of the summer and the insane humidity that comes with it. Goan summer lasts from late March to June, when monsoons blow the sun away and heavy rainfall descends on Goa. Even though it seems that rain often chases the visitors aways, it’s such a shame considering how beautiful it still is.

For that reason, ‘winter’ seems like the best option on the table, since the average temperatures approximate 29°C. Beware the October, since it technically qualifies as a post-monsoon summer with temperatures quite capable of blazing 40°C.
