Warm weather, year-round sunshine, and a long coastline along the calm Arabian Sea make Goa the vacation capital of India, especially for beach vacations. In addition to beaches, there is so much to see and do that you would want to revisit Goa again and again. While the warm weather and sunshine year-round are conducive to vacations, Goa in May becomes too hot for any outdoor activity, especially in the daytime. But evenings are long and enjoyable. You can stay indoors during the day and step out in the evening to enjoy beach activities including shopping in beach shacks, savoring street food, and enjoying the nightlife.
May doesn’t seem a suitable time to visit Goa for vacations but you shouldn’t miss the opportunity to spend holidays in the serene setting of this coastal state even in the hot summer season. Luckily there are ways to escape the May heat and make the most of your vacation time. You can spend a good part of the day indoors in the cozy atmosphere of your rental villa. You can rent a villa equipped with all luxuries including a pool, entertainment facilities, games, plenty of space, and reliable concierge service. Rent a home-away-from-home in Goa and have a great time relaxing in the privacy or reveling in the luxuries of your villa.
The average Goa temperature in May is 31°C during the day and 27°C at night. You will need air conditioning at this temperature. Also, it is better to stay indoors at least from 12-4 PM, when the temperature is at its peak. Since you need to spend a good part of your holidays indoors, you should look no further than a luxurious villa where you get all the facilities you miss in your home. A villa tastefully decorated, well-furnished, fully fitted, and loaded with top-of-the-line luxuries can provide you with a relaxing break. Also, a villa can easily accommodate couples, small families with kids, and even extended families.
The villa culture in Goa is catching up fast. Vacationers prefer staying in villas and for this reason, there have come villas in all locations including beaches. Also, it won’t be an exaggeration to say that there is a villa for every family and budget. Outdoor activities will become more pleasant if you have the privilege to retire to the luxuries of your villa home whenever the temperature becomes unbearable. Air conditioning, home-cooked meals, and plenty of space to unwind are sufficient to recharge your tired self and get ready for another bout of outdoor activities at twilight.
A quick search on villas on rent in Goa is sufficient to give you plenty of options matching your budget and needs. Also, you can direct your search towards specific properties such as beachfront villas, pool villas, and other high-end properties. The availability of plenty of villas is an opportunity and also an assurance that you can find the right vacation home for your family. Another advantage of May vacations is lower rental. May is the time when Goa receives fewer tourists and fewer tourists mean more discounts. A villa rental that can burn a hole in your pocket in peak season can save you some money in the off-season.
Of course, beaches are the biggest attractions in Goa and for this reason, every vacation includes beach activities. The advantage of May is beaches become secluded due to the thinning of the crowd and the removal of seasonal shacks. You will feel as if the entire beach belongs to you. But you will need a shade, sunglasses, and plenty of sunscreen to protect your skin from direct sunlight. It would be better if you could rent a beach villa. It will provide easy access to a beach. Also, you can return to the comfort of the villa when the sun becomes harsh and unfriendly.
A limited number of water sports are available due to the off-season. But the good thing is that some of the best water sporting activities remain open throughout May. For example, you can go far in the sea on a sunset cruise and have a great time. A dinner on a sunset cruise will be a memorable experience. Or you take your family on a half-day or full-day trip to bird watching and dolphin watching. The ocean water won’t let you feel the warmth of the sun and you can take in the mesmerizing view of sunset on twilight.
Calangute Beach is the most happening place in Goa. It is renowned for its expansion, beautiful views, and vibrant nightlife. As the sun sets in the west, Calangute Beach nightlife starts taking shape. More beach shacks are set for shopping, bars open for drinks, and clubs start playing music to attract both locals and tourists. Wherever you see, you will find live music, bonfires, food, and drinks. The entire beach is illuminated with colorful lights coming from shacks, bars, and clubs. You can have a great time with your family and friends at the beach. It will be a unique and memorable experience.
May is the season of mango in Goa. It is the time when you can savor different varieties of this delicious fruit. Mankurad the real Goan mango is available only this time of the year. If you visit a fruit shop, you will find more varieties such as jamuns. Also, you shouldn’t forget to sip the incredible Kokum sherbet. You will get enough fruits at an affordable price during your May vacation. If you want, you can even pack some fruits as gifts for your family and friends.
Shopping in the Saturday market in Goa will be a delightful experience. The vibrant flea markets are renowned for handicrafts, artificial jewelry, clothing, and souvenirs. Also, the bustling street markets are perfect for buying locally-made products. Local Goan spices are another attraction in flea markets. Here you can see the variety of cashews that are grown and consumed only in Goa. Similarly, many spices never go out of the coastal state. But you can buy spices from flea markets. Also, it won’t be an exaggeration to say that flea markets provide an opportunity to see the rich cultural heritage of Goa.
Plan your summer vacations and come to Goa. Rent a 4 BHK villa in Goa for holidays and get ready for a great time with your family and friends. A pool villa with an expansive lounge area will be more suitable for your stay. Rest in the comfort and convenience of the villa all day and step out at twilight for beach activities, nightlife, shopping, dining, music, and dancing.
