Important: Early check-in is subject to availability. Beach activities are optional and at own expense.
North Goa Sights & Forts
After breakfast, head out for a scenic North Goa tour: visit Fort Aguada and its lighthouse for sweeping Arabian Sea views, then proceed to Sinquerim and Candolim stretches. Continue to Chapora Fort (famous for its panoramic views) and explore the lively lanes of Anjuna — known for its flea market and laid-back vibe.
Tip: If visiting Anjuna Flea Market, plan accordingly (market days vary).
Old Goa Churches & Mandovi River Cruise
