Hotels in South Goa, India
South Goa, on India's western coast, has a tropical climate with dry winters (77°F/25°C) perfect for lounging on Palolem Beach and kayaking in the Sal River. The monsoon season (June-September) brings lush greenery, cheaper stays, and fewer crowds, ideal for exploring Cabo de Rama Fort from the 1760s or touring spice plantations. You can also spot dolphins from a boat in January, or visit the whitewashed Our Lady of the Rosary Church in Velha Goa during the wet months.
