1. The Good Green Life
Pull out your colour palette because you’ll be spotting different shades of green everywhere. From spring green to moss to dark forest and emerald, Goa will show you verdant colours in all their natural glory. Goa has some beautiful wildlife and bird sanctuaries that come alive in this season. Drive to Divar islands, visit Cotigao Wildlife Sanctuary, Palolem Island Reserve or Dr Salim Ali Bird Sanctuary and soak in the greenery. The monsoon season is the best time to visit Goa for embracing the slow life, finding peace and serenity.

2. Waterfalls
Water views are never not existent in Goa. June through August the waterfalls are gushing and the trek trails are peaking. Whether you’re looking for easy treks or challenging ones, Goa has a variety of both to offer. We recommend a trek from Keri to Arambol for a chance to explore the untouched coastline of the Arabian Sea. You can even take a dip in the sweet water lake. The Tambdi Surla Waterfall trek is another one worth exploring, but we recommend you do this one with a local guide.The falls are located amidst thick forests and the trail is not the easiest one, although the views are well worth the effort.
3. Nights in Paradise
Come rain or shine, Goa doesn’t sleep at night. Goa’s home to some of the hottest restaurants, bars and casinos in the country and our Villa Experiences Manager knows how to get you in the best ones. We recommend you check out Izumi in Assago and Uno Mas in Vagator. Visit the Deltin Royale, it’s Asia’s largest off-shore casino and has a ton of entertainment options including live music and buffets aboard the cruise.
