Goa Weekend for Two
Fly Friday evening, back Monday morning, properly rested
Starting from
₹24,999
per couple
Four nights, one pool villa and a spice plantation lunch inland
This is the Goa trip for couples who have already done the weekend version and want a little more room in it.
A pool villa rather than a room, four nights rather than three, and one full day spent inland where the state is green and almost nobody goes.
The Ayurvedic treatment is a proper 90-minute synchronised massage rather than a spa menu item, at a centre we have used for years.
A working outline rather than a fixed schedule. Every day can be moved, and at least one is deliberately left empty.
Day 1
Transfer to the villa. Everything from here is within walking distance — the beach, two shacks and not much else, which is the idea.
Stay: Private pool villa
Day 2
A slow morning, then a 90-minute synchronised Ayurvedic treatment for two in the afternoon, followed by an hour of rest that is part of the treatment rather than an add-on.
Meals: breakfastStay: Private pool villa
Day 3
An hour inland to Ponda. A walk through a working plantation — pepper, vanilla, nutmeg, cardamom — and a Goan thali served on a banana leaf. Back to the coast by mid-afternoon.
Meals: breakfast, lunchStay: Private pool villa
Day 4
A sunset cruise on the Sal river through the mangroves, then a private dinner set up on the beach with lanterns once the shacks have closed.

Day 5
Late checkout requested, then the transfer to the airport.
Meals: breakfast
One travel designer picks this up, checks live availability for your dates and comes back with real numbers — usually the same day.
Before you go
November to February. Dry, warm and comfortable, with the sea at its calmest. October and March are quieter and cheaper with almost the same weather. June to September is monsoon — dramatic, green, and many beach shacks close.
