Whether you’re a couple, family, or group of friends, this North Goa travel plan will guide you through the must-visit attractions, activities, and dining experiences, all while enjoying the comfort of your stay in Calangute.
Start your Goa holiday by soaking in the relaxed energy of Calangute Beach. Known as the “Queen of Beaches,” Calangute is only a short walk away from Lillywoods Zac Beach Resort. Spend the morning exploring the vibrant shacks, sipping coconut water, and walking barefoot on the golden sand.
For lunch, you can either try beachside shacks or head back to the resort for a sattvik-style meal. Post lunch, explore the Calangute Market, famous for souvenirs, handicrafts, and clothing. Don’t forget to pick up some cashew nuts and Goan spices.
As evening approaches, enjoy a sunset walk at the beach. If you’re into nightlife, Calangute is close to popular clubs and bars where you can dance the night away. After a fun evening, return to your room at Lillywoods Zac Beach Resort and relax on your balcony with a view of the sea breeze.
On the second day of your 3-day Goa itinerary, set out to explore more of North Goa. Start your morning with a visit to Fort Aguada, an iconic Portuguese fort with sweeping views of the Arabian Sea. It’s a great spot for photography and history lovers.
Next, head to Candolim Beach, which offers a quieter vibe compared to Calangute. This is the perfect place to try water sports such as parasailing, jet skiing, or banana boat rides. Afterward, stop by a beach shack for authentic Goan fish curry and rice.
In the evening, consider visiting Baga Beach—just a short drive from the resort—for its buzzing nightlife. From Tito’s Lane to popular lounges, Baga is where Goa comes alive after dark. For guests who prefer a quieter night, return to the resort and enjoy a relaxed dinner at the in-house restaurant, savoring authentic vegetarian delicacies.
Your last day should be about culture and unique Goan experiences. Begin with a trip to the famous Our Lady of Immaculate Conception Church in Panjim, an architectural marvel with a serene atmosphere. From there, explore Fontainhas, the Latin Quarter of Goa, known for its Portuguese houses and heritage charm.
For shopping lovers, visit the Mapusa Market or Anjuna Flea Market (depending on the day of your visit). These bustling markets are perfect for picking up bohemian clothing, jewelry, and local handicrafts.
Before wrapping up, indulge in a final Goan meal—be it seafood at a local shack or vegetarian specialties at the resort. End your trip with a leisurely evening by the beach, watching the waves and capturing your last sunset in Goa. Staying at Lillywoods Zac Beach Resort ensures that you’re always close to the best attractions while enjoying comfort and hospitality.
