Goa Holidays

Where better to book your Goa holidays than right here at Jewel Holidays? What makes us so different is the fact that we are a small, independent Tour Operator. During the last twenty six years, Jewel Holidays has become the leading, independent specialist selling package holidays to Goa. We first discovered Goa, when it was just a 'name' on a map. Totally dumbfounded, here was a little piece of heaven on earth with over fifty miles of India's best beaches all to itself.

Many first time visitors on their holidays to Goa believe Goa to be an island. An understandable mistake, as this small state is encircled by mountains, rivers and estuaries which effectively separate it from the rest of India.

One question we are often asked about holidays in Goa is the difference between North Goa Holidays and South Goa Holidays. We have therefore tried to give further details of the beaches in Goa in our North Goa Beaches and South Goa Beaches section.

Holidays to Goa Highlights

Travellers spending their holidays in Goa, India will see that it isn't just the geography that makes Goa different. Life for the animals is different too with water buffaloes and cows wandering around freely on a never-ending eating mission. Also the wild bird life is unbelievable.

Goa holidays are not complete without sampling the truly wonderful Goan food which includes 'Curry', fresh seafood including  plump lobsters, giant tiger prawns, pomfret and kingfish, generally barbecued in tandoori ovens only hours after leaving the sea, are just a small sample of what can arrive at your table. The local wines have improved greatly over the last few years and particularly red wines such as Chantilli are very pleasant, There is also a wide range of beers and spirits available.  Wherever you dine, the bill is another nice surprise. Even though prices have risen over the last few years and there are now some very chic and sophisticated eateries, eating out is still excellent value for money and a fraction of what you would pay at home.

Holidays in Goa wouldn’t be the same without the friendliness of the people. So many people just like to say hello, ask your name and where you're from! Even the fishermen appreciate a helping hand to push their boats back up the beach, a labour often rewarded with a smile.

We can't deny that Goa has changed over the last few years. This little known gem that was once heavily dominated by British package holidaymakers, has been discovered by other nationalities and now attracts a more global clientele who enjoy holidays in Goa India, especially from Eastern Europe and Russia.
