GOA-ING ONCE, GOA-ING TWICE

The evergreen allure of Goa

- KHURSHEED MISTRY, YASHITA DAMANI

Ah, Goa! Where blood orange sunsets foreshadow the wonderful evening ahead, but it is the after-hours that truly dominate the season's competition. With landscapes so imposing, you'll be left wondering if you were on a beach pilgrimage.

For the culture aficionado, Goa's heritage will have you marvelling at forts, churches, and remnants of a past where a more dignified sort of chaos once reigned. (And, admittedly, a few of those historical sites might be slightly better preserved than your last Zoom meeting.) Of course, we haven't forgotten the culinary delights-restaurants and bars that could make even the most discerning palate do a happy dance. Five-star gourmet experiences, local eateries, and eclectic beverages will make you forget you're even in a meeting - until, of course, you return to your beachfront villa and realize you still have emails to answer! When evenings mature into nights, your professional persona meets the allure of a rooftop bar. The sound of music pulsating through hotel room windows is enough to tease you into submission. Just the right amount of extra-without overstepping into the realm of all the restraint and stress back home.
