Olympic Holidays may be best known for its unrivalled expertise in the Greek Islands, but its carefully curated portfolio includes a range of alluring, far-flung destinations for year-round sunshine Goa, India’s enchanting southern state, tops the list of dream winter getaways, with added ease of direct flights from both London & Manchester.
Boasting over 100km of pristine, palm-fringed coastline, this languid tropical idyll has long been a haven for sun seekers. Olympic Holidays MD Michael Vinales says, “We have seen growing interest in the destination and lots of repeat customers, which is why, from September 2024, we’ll be expanding our programme in Goa and adding lots of new hotels to the portfolio”.
Each of Goa’s myriad beaches has a different appeal, from postcard-pretty coves backed by sleepy fishing villages to sweeping arcs of golden sand for dips in warm, clear seas. The glorious shoreline is only half the story, however. A kaleidoscope of Indian and Portuguese culture, Goa offers endless exploring with white-washed churches peeping out from lush foliage, vibrant markets crammed with colourful handicrafts, incense-scented temples and crumbling forts. Then there’s the mouth-watering cuisine, with beachside eateries serving fresh seafood cooked in delicate Indian spices.
Whether you want to unwind completely, soak up the rich cultural heritage or throw yourself into water-sports such as parasailing and scuba-diving, Olympic Holidays have the insider expertise to plan your perfect break. With an enthusiastic and knowledgeable in-house team, they can help you find your ideal retreat. A newly expanded collection of handpicked properties in both North and South Goa means there is everything from boutique beach hotels to luxury spa resorts.
