About Goa

Goa carries 450 years of Portuguese history, 65 km of Konkan coastline, and a food culture unlike anywhere else in India. From the busy beaches of Baga and Calangute in the north to the quieter coves of Palolem in the south, it works for almost any kind of trip. The UNESCO Baroque churches in Old Goa are genuinely impressive, and worth at least half a day.

Portuguese Heritage: 450 Years of History You Can Still SeeGoa was under Portuguese rule from 1510 to 1961, the longest European colonial period in Asia. Old Goa's Basilica of Bom Jesus, Se Cathedral, and Church of St. Cajetan are some of the finest Baroque buildings in Asia. Fontainhas in Panaji is a Latin Quarter that is still very much alive.
Beaches: Busy or Quiet, You Can ChooseCalangute, Baga, and Anjuna in North Goa are busy and social. Morjim is calmer and known for Olive Ridley turtle nesting. Further south, Palolem and Agonda are India's most unspoiled crescent beaches. All within a manageable drive of each other.
Goan Food: Nothing Else Quite Like It in IndiaThe Portuguese-Konkani-Indian mix produced a cuisine that stands alone. Pork vindaloo, fish xacuti, prawn balchao, Goan chorizo, and bebinca (a layered coconut cake) are the things to try. Wash it down with feni, the local cashew liquor with its own GI tag.

Things to Do
in Goa

Beach days, Portuguese forts, UNESCO churches, a waterfall worth the drive, and the Anjuna Flea Market on Wednesdays. Goa is a small state with a lot packed into it.

Calangute & Baga Beach

The busiest and most well-known beaches in North Goa, running into each other along a stretch of golden sand. Beach shacks, water sports (jet-skiing, parasailing, banana boats), and plenty of activity. Baga Creek separates the two. If you want the full Goa beach experience, this is the starting point.

Walking distance from Hotel Mulberry Mint

Basilica of Bom Jesus

Built between 1594 and 1605, this UNESCO-listed church in Old Goa holds the remains of St. Francis Xavier in an ornate silver casket. The Baroque facade and gilded altar are some of the finest Portuguese church architecture in Asia. The remains are displayed publicly on a 10-year cycle, drawing enormous crowds.

~18 km from Calangute

Fort Aguada

Built in 1612 where the Mandovi River meets the Arabian Sea, Fort Aguada is the largest surviving Portuguese fort in Goa. The walls were built to hold off Dutch and Maratha attacks. The four-storey lighthouse inside dates to 1864 and gives good views of the coastline. A natural freshwater spring inside the fort, which is what gave it the name aguada (meaning water), was used to resupply ships on the route between Lisbon and Goa.

~4 km from De Mandarin, Candolim

Dudhsagar Falls

On the Goa-Karnataka border, Dudhsagar drops 310 metres in four tiers through thick Western Ghats forest. One of India's tallest waterfalls. The name means Sea of Milk, which gives you a sense of what it looks like at full flow from June to January. You get there by jeep safari through the jungle after the railway crossing, which is half the fun.

~60 km from Panaji

Old Goa & the Se Cathedral

Old Goa was once the largest city in Asia east of Lisbon. Today it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Se Cathedral (1619) is the largest church in Asia, dedicated to St. Catherine of Alexandria. The Church of St. Cajetan was modelled on St. Peter's in Rome. Together with the Basilica of Bom Jesus and the Church of St. Francis of Assisi, it forms a concentration of Portuguese Baroque architecture found nowhere else in India.

~10 km from Panaji

Anjuna Flea Market

Every Wednesday at Anjuna Beach. Started as part of the hippie-trail culture in the 1960s and 70s, it has grown into a proper market with hundreds of stalls selling Kashmiri crafts, Rajasthani textiles, Tibetan jewellery, beachwear, spices, and Goan souvenirs. Arrive early for the best pick. The seafood shacks around it make for a good lunch after.

Every Wednesday · ~8 km from Calangute

Common Questions
About Goa & Our Hotels

Fidato has three properties across North Goa. De Mandarin in Candolim is a boutique hotel with Arabian Sea views, a rooftop grill, a restaurant with Goan food, and a conference room for up to 200 people. Hotel Mulberry Mint in Calangute is a 3-star property with an indoor pool, a restaurant, and easy access to Baga Beach and Old Goa. Turtle Beach Resort in Morjim is a quieter, more spread-out resort with a spa, fitness centre, outdoor lawn dining, and the Turtle Aribadda conference hall. Call +91 8010 527783 to check availability or make a reservation.

It depends on what you are after. Candolim (De Mandarin) is quieter and more relaxed, near Fort Aguada and the Taj. A good choice if you want a beach-village pace without being too far from anything. Calangute (Hotel Mulberry Mint) puts you right in the middle of the action: beach shacks, water sports, day trips to Anjuna Market and Old Goa, all within easy reach. Morjim (Turtle Beach Resort) is the least busy option. A green, roomy property 850 metres from the beach. Better for couples, families, or anyone who wants to properly switch off.

Goa is India's smallest state and sits on the Konkan Coast. Its 65 km of beaches range from the busy, social Calangute and Baga strips to the much quieter Morjim and Palolem further south. Old Goa has a UNESCO-listed cluster of Baroque churches, including the Basilica of Bom Jesus (which holds the remains of St. Francis Xavier) and the Se Cathedral, the largest church in Asia. The food is a big part of the appeal: vindaloo, fish xacuti, bebinca, Goan chorizo, and feni are all local to the state. Other draws include Dudhsagar Falls, the Anjuna Flea Market, spice plantation tours in Ponda, a floating casino on the Mandovi River, and the Carnival in February or March.

November to February is the best time to visit. The weather is cool (20 to 32°C), the sea is calm, and everything is open. December and January are peak season, with Christmas, New Year, and the Sunburn Festival all drawing large crowds. October and March are quieter shoulder months with good weather. April and May get hot (35 to 38°C), but hotel rates drop significantly. June to September is monsoon. The beach shacks close, but Dudhsagar Falls is spectacular, the landscape goes very green, and off-season rates are the lowest of the year. The Carnival is in February or March.

From Dabolim (GOI): De Mandarin in Candolim is about 40 km away (50 to 60 minutes), Hotel Mulberry Mint in Calangute is about 42 km (55 minutes), and Turtle Beach Resort in Morjim is about 55 km (70 to 80 minutes). From the newer Manohar Airport (GOX/Mopa): Morjim is about 20 km (25 minutes) and Calangute is about 30 km (40 minutes). All three properties can arrange airport transfers. Call +91 8010 527783 to arrange one. Pre-booked taxis, Goa Miles, Ola, and Uber all operate from both airports.

A few practical suggestions for North Goa: swimming and water sports at Calangute or Baga (jet-skiing, parasailing, banana boats); Fort Aguada for the views and the lighthouse; the Basilica of Bom Jesus in Old Goa; Anjuna Flea Market on Wednesdays; a dolphin-watching boat trip from Sinquerim; sunset at Chapora Fort; the Fontainhas Latin Quarter in Panaji for the architecture and good cafes; a Dudhsagar Falls jeep safari (best from July to January); a spice plantation tour in Ponda with a Goan lunch; and an evening casino cruise on the Mandovi River if that is your kind of thing.
