Holidays to Bogmallo

Goa, India's smallest state, is a long slither of coastline backed by verdant hills, jungles and rice fields. 

Beaches are what Goa does best. For almost 60 miles, interrupted only by a wide river estuary, a curving arc of sand shelves gently to meet the Arabian Sea. And, along the coast, a succession of well managed holiday resorts cater for those seeking a touch of Goan magic. 

For this place is a world apart, even from India. European influences abound - especially those from the Portuguese, who ruled here until just fifty years ago. 

At Bogmalo, you can experience a touch of Goa in miniature. This popular beach resort has a touch of the party vibe so popular further up the coast, tempered by the ever-present chilled-out atmosphere which has made this state such a success. 

If your need to unwind is measured with a desire to splash out with watersports, a touch of nightlife and a scattering of sightseeing, this could be the best spot for you. Despite busy restaurants, hotels and tourist shops, the village of Bogmalo still retains an authentic, easygoing charm. You can see it in the smiling faces of the children, or in the red-loincloth wearing fishermen, waiting for the fish to bite. Bogmalo beach, washed clean twice daily by the alluring waters of the Arabian Sea, is a delight.

The hippies came in the 60s, drawn to the region's easy-going pace of life, its obvious spirituality and, of course, glorious beaches. Goa, today, is still a spiritually fulfilling destination - with its laid-back beach resorts, effortlessly friendly people and fragrant spice stalls.

From trance culture to serene spas, this Indian pleasure zone is all about recharging the spirit and refuelling the senses. Don't come for loud, all-night discos, though - the key to unlock the undoubted allure of Goa is to seek enlightenment through simple pleasures, chilled out beats, wonderful seafood and unforgettable beaches.
