Around
the house.

Book the good tables a few days out — North Goa fills up fast.

• Thalassa — Greek plates on the Anjuna cliffside — reserve ahead
• Gunpowder — modern South Indian, Assagao
• Curlies — the beach-shack institution, Anjuna
• Hilltop Goa — open-air nights, Vagator
• Antares — beach club, Little Vagator

Nothing on this list is more than about twenty minutes from the gate.

• Chapora Fort — sunset point over Vagator
• Anjuna, Ashwem & Morjim — the nearest beaches
• Fontainhas — Panaji’s Latin quarter
• Siolim riverfront & Chapora backwaters — quiet early-morning paddles
• Assagao's boutiques and cafés — a lazy afternoon loop

Slow days — nothing here needs a schedule.

• Wednesday flea market — Anjuna, sunrise-till-dusk
• Water sports — at Baga & Candolim
• Spice plantation tour — out towards Ponda
• Sunset cruise — on the Mandovi
• Early-morning yoga — in Assagao
