Goa, the pocket-sized Indian state where beaches are the star attraction. Dolphin spotting boat trips and water sports like parasailing ramp up the fun. Dig into flavoursome coastal food, from seafood curries to the local susegado spirit - it's all part of the beach life here.

Swap the beach for exploring aged Portuguese colonial buildings, enchanting cathedrals, and white-washed churches. The state has a relaxed atmosphere that's hard to beat, with leafy inland villages offering a tranquil retreat.
