Goa is perhaps the most famous area of India and certainly the most romantic. Honeymooning in Goa is something you will never forget, particularly since it is a fairly unique experience among newlyweds. Goa is the second smallest state in the country of India. Incorporated in 1987, this originally Portuguese territory was independent of India for 450 years before it was invaded by India in 1961. Known all over the world for its beautiful beaches and exotic architecture, Goa is a perfect spot to take a unique vacation. The romantic side of this state also means that honeymooning in Goa is a perfect trip for those couples who want a different destination from the ordinary choices. It is thought that the name Goa means "a nation of sheepherders", although the exact meaning of the name brought by the Portuguese to this land is unknown. An extreme amount of different flora and fauna mean that Goa has been hailed as being as biodiverse as the Amazon or Congo. Although known for many traits, those who go honeymooning in Goa undoubtedly come here for the beaches and exotic atmosphere. One resort that's perfect for your stay is the Cidade de Goa, located on Vainguinim Beach. This five star resort caters to honeymooners with packages that include beautiful deluxe rooms leading directly out to the beach and suites with a taste of India in their decorations. The restaurants here are also first rate with barbecue, Goan/Portuguese, Chinese, Latino and Indian foods all being featured at different dining rooms. Many different sports and fitness options are available to guests, and an Ayurvedic spa treats couples to the exotic relaxation techniques of India. The laid back atmosphere endemic to Goa, however, provides you with the opportunity to do whatever you want at whatever pace you desire. Another great resort is the Nanu Resort located on Betalbatim Beach. This resort offers spacious rooms overlooking the Arabian Sea with 72 cottage style rooms for guests. Close to both the commercial hub of Goa and the major airport, this resort is a great spot to stay for those who would like to explore more of Goa than just their resort. An authentic Goan atmosphere also makes this resort good for guests who really want a feel for the area. Other amenities include an open air bar and book shop. No matter which resort you choose to stay at, honeymooning in Goa can be an exciting and exotic experience. Perfect for the couple who wants an alternative to the Caribbean while still having a beach vacation, a trip to Goa will be sure to please even the most discriminating of travelers while still giving you a stay that is out of the ordinary. |
