Hotels in South Goa, India

South Goa, on India's west coast, stays warm year-round at 77-95°F (25-35°C), famous for its laid-back palm-lined beaches like Palolem and Colva, and Portuguese-era churches. During the dry winter from November to February, you can kayak through the calm Arabian Sea at Palolem or hike to Dudhsagar Falls before the monsoon hits. In the rainy summer from June to September, crowds thin out, making it the perfect time to explore Old Goa's 16th-century Basilica of Bom Jesus or snag cheap room deals near Benaulim beach.
