<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Goa is on the bucket list of every traveler. It has something for everyone- trekking, camping, water sports, street shopping, and yes, of course clubbing and partying!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It is flocked by tourists all around the year but December witnesses maximum footfall as the weather is extremely pleasant compared to the other months. It is the peak time of year when parties are in full swing and all the popular beaches are bustling with partygoers all night. Christmas and New Year’s Eve are when the party spirits peak in Goa in December.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you are planning to visit Goa this December, here is everything you need to know!</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">When is the best time to visit Goa?</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Well, if you are a party freak you do not want to miss the last 2 weeks of December. It is that time when every nook and cranny is fully decked up and you get to witness why it is called <em>India’s Nightlife capital.</em></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But if you are on a budget travel, it is recommended to visit during <strong>December&#8217;s first week.</strong> This is the time when the prices are reasonable, all the activities are available, and the place is bursting with excitement to welcome the New Year.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Goan Weather in December- Humidity and Temperature</strong></h2>


<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="aligncenter size-large is-resized"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" width="1024" height="683" src="https://azarabeachhouse.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/esrtxpd9q1c-1024x683.jpg" alt="Goa people on beach during daytime" class="wp-image-12515" style="width:789px;height:auto" srcset="https://azarabeachhouse.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/esrtxpd9q1c-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://azarabeachhouse.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/esrtxpd9q1c-300x200.jpg 300w, https://azarabeachhouse.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/esrtxpd9q1c-768x512.jpg 768w, https://azarabeachhouse.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/esrtxpd9q1c-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://azarabeachhouse.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/esrtxpd9q1c-600x400.jpg 600w, https://azarabeachhouse.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/esrtxpd9q1c.jpg 1600w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
</div>


<p class="wp-block-paragraph">You can make the most of your Goa trip in December because the weather will be in your favor. Every day is a bright sunny day- it is warm enough to bask in the sun but not too harsh to give you the sun burns!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The average high is 33ºC during the daytime, perfect for sitting by the side of a beach, enjoying water activities, or just taking a leisurely walk soaking in the Goan charm.<br><br>At night the temperature drops to 21ºC, and you can enjoy the nightlife with pleasant beach vibes.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The average relative humidity is typically 54.2% so, it is best to pack light clothes and do not forget sunscreen!</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Goa Staycation in December</strong></h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For backpackers or anyone else traveling to Goa, opting for a train can not only cut down the traveling cost but they can also enjoy the charm of the Konkan region. The railway stations are well-linked to every part of the country making it a convenient option. There are regular trains to and from Goa and one can avail of taxi service to get to their hotels after reaching there.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For people who want a quicker option, you can take a flight. There’s Dabolim Airport, 26 km away from Panaji. It is the main domestic as well as international aerodrome. AirAsia India, Air India, IndiGo, and JetAirways have regular flights from Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, Kolkata, Indore, Chennai, and Pune.<br>It also serves a few international destinations such as Muscat, Doha, and Copenhagen.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Again, taxi services are easily available from the airport anywhere in Goa.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And for those of you who want to go road-tripping like the trio in Dil Chahta Hai, the national highways are extremely smooth and you can steer your wheels through them while enjoying the scenic views.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Now that you know your travel options, here are some options for your stay:</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you are on a solo trip or backpacking, there are many dormitories even with air conditioning.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Some people also prefer to sleep in shacks on the beaches to wake up to a beautiful sunrise! You also get beach-facing resorts and hotels but remember to book them well in advance. These places get sold out like hotcakes!</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Transportation:&nbsp;</strong></h2>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">A short December weekend, say, 2 nights and 3 days will allow you to experience most of Goa. If you choose to get there by your car, then commuting to explore places is hassle-free. But if you have taken a flight, do not worry because Goa offers convenient chauffeur-driven luxury taxi services. You can either pre-book them or usually someone at the villa will help you get in touch with local transportation services.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Nestled near the Azure waters of Candolim Beach, Azara Beach House is built with a vision of privacy and accessibility to popular tourist destinations in North Goa. Seeking the unique blend of seclusion, and yet having ease of access, this beach house is all about letting you relax and explore, at your convenience.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Keeping in mind what suits all ages, we have planned the top 12 sightseeing places for you to visit near this luxury villa:</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Fort Aguada</h2>


<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="680" src="https://azarabeachhouse.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/6337e23a-3a96-441f-8851-b67ab7fe02e6.jpg" alt="fort aguada- Candolim Goa" class="wp-image-12407" srcset="https://azarabeachhouse.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/6337e23a-3a96-441f-8851-b67ab7fe02e6.jpg 1024w, https://azarabeachhouse.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/6337e23a-3a96-441f-8851-b67ab7fe02e6-300x199.jpg 300w, https://azarabeachhouse.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/6337e23a-3a96-441f-8851-b67ab7fe02e6-768x510.jpg 768w, https://azarabeachhouse.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/6337e23a-3a96-441f-8851-b67ab7fe02e6-600x398.jpg 600w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you love history, then this is the right place for you to go to. At a proximity of just 4.3 km from the property, Fort Aguada is a popular destination for most at Candolim, especially for the serene sunsets. Located on Aguada &#8211; Siolim road, you can follow two routes towards the hilltop, either you could take a car from Sinquerim Beach, or you could cycle all the way up the steep climb.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Aguada fort was built in 1612 to ward off the Dutch and Marathas, enabling the Portuguese to maintain strategic control for a long period of time. The name Aguada comes from a freshwater spring that has given sufficient drinking water for the Fort. “Agua” translates to water in Portuguese and “Aguada” translates to the place it was collected.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Chapora Fort</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Fort was built during the rule of Adil Shah in 1617 and was built from a military standpoint. Called Shahpoora in the days of its creation, this fort was altered to Shapora by the Malvankars later. The fort has become a popular tourist destination since the Bollywood film Dil Chahta Hai was shot here. A must-visit to experience the vibes of this movie, Chapora Fort is 33 mins and 12.8 km from Azara Beach House.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Se Cathedral</h2>


<div class="wp-block-image">

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Part of a World Heritage site, located in Old Goa, Panjim, this Latin Church is a recognized World Heritage Site. Founded in 1619, this church was built to honor Catherine of Alexandria. The making was ordered by Afonso de Albuquerque over the victory of the Muslim Army, and since the event took place on the feast of Saint Catherine it was dedicated to her. It takes about 21 km to reach Se Cathedral from Azara Beach House.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you love watching these majestic creatures, this experience is a must-do for you. Nothing speaks of a deeper connection with nature than sailing by the pristine waters and waiting for the dolphins to take a jump by your boat. If you planning to go Dolphin watching, multiple local tour companies are available that would take you on a tour into the waters to view the dolphins swimming gracefully. The charge for a nominal fee of 10 USD or 800 INR for a round trip.</p>

A good ayurvedic massage after a day in the sun or after a nice trek is all your body needs for rejuvenation and mindfulness.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Goa is akin to discovering a hidden gem of a treasure trove, but opting for a lux villa can be daunting, with the variety of choices present. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A sojourn at a lux villa promises a magical getaway with bespoke services. From lush tropical gardens surrounding the villa to architectural beauties with modern finesse, what suits best for you can be simplified down to a few factors. Before you dive into the sea of options, let&#8217;s talk about a few of them to help you choose your dream stay. </span></p>

<h2>Location, Location, Location!</h2>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Location is the foremost important factor for an impeccable stay. Seek a villa that strikes a perfect balance of privacy and accessibility to popular attractions. North Goa and South Goa are both known for their beaches and parties. However, Candolim in North Goa is one of the most popular places for its beaches, shops, and resto pubs. The fun experiences are usually experienced there, so make sure to rent your luxury villa in close parameters or within North Goa.  </span></p>

<h2>Budget</h2>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><span style="font-weight: 400;">We all want a comfortable yet luxuriated vacation, but at what cost? Apart from location, planning your budget is an important characteristic in choosing your Luxury villa. If you are planning a vacation with an itinerary and with all amenities your budget needs to be in a higher range. Look out for seasonal offers, so you get your villa at a low tariff. Make sure to choose a private villa, that will match the amenities of a 5-star Hotel.</span></p>

<h2>A-List Facilities and amenities</h2>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><span style="font-weight: 400;">The majority of Luxury Villas have all the basic amenities, from toiletries to a functional kitchen and an extravagant bar counter. Azara checks all the boxes on that perspective as well.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A recommendation: A private pool with an inbuilt jacuzzi, turns out to be perfect at night to stargaze with loved ones. Add an alfresco dining experience, for each meal to be an extraordinary affair.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Having said that, if you are an indoorsy individual we have a bar counter inside, to savor some refreshing cocktails, and if you are feeling frenzy, a myriad of board games will always add to your fun night.</span></p>

<p>Before finalizing your booking, gauge their online platform reviews of previous clients.

<p></p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Candolim is nothing without the beaches, the warm waters are inviting and enticing to help chill and rejuvenate in the morning, whereas, after dawn, the vibe completely switches to a lively and fun environment where you could dance to the rhythm of the waves. Stop by the neighboring Sinquerim beach or venture further north to the famous Calangute beach to build sandcastles, or simply relax with a book in hand if you wish for a quieter backdrop. That’s not all, the beaches satisfy the explorers as well. If you are an aquatic odyssey adventurer, you can dive into water sports like skiing, surfing, or even a banana boat ride!</p>

<p></p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong><em>Fort Aguada</em> &#8211;</strong> Was constructed in 1612 to defend their territory from the sea. As per the historians, the Fort played a crucial role in the Portuguese, for heightening its control over Goa and keeping its power.</p>

<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Entice in some Goan delicacies! The Goan culinary creations will surely leave an everlasting memory that ignites your tastebuds. Originating from its Konkani roots, it was inspired by the Portuguese colonizers of 451 years and then the Sultanate rule that preceded it. It was only in 1510, the Portuguese general Alburqueqe introduced the use of vinegar, potatoes, chilies, cashews, pineapple, bread, and all other meats. Before the Portuguese, flat bread like rotis and chapatis were consumed, later changed to bread like Pao.</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Some great recommendations to try while visiting are</em>&#8211; crusty pao bread, pork vindaloos, and sorpotel. In addition to that Goan fish curry, prawn balchão, squid masala fry, and feni, a local spirit made from cashew or coconut, for a truly authentic experience.

<p></div></p>
<p></p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Another must do in Goa, is to visit the most prized monument of Portugese-Fort Aguada. The Fort is so enormous it stretches all the way in the peninsular region to the tip of Bardez. Strategically located in the Mandovi River, it acted as the chief of defense to protect the Portuguese from Dutch invaders. The best way to explore Fort Aguada is by cycling to the Fort. Not only is it reducing carbon footprint but it works as a great exercise to energize yourself. This is an experience you must truly experience and is one of the best ways to explore the 17th-century fort and places near it.</p>

<p></div></p>
<p></p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Take a cruise on one of Goa&#8217;s largest rivers called Mandovi River, which moves along into the Indian Ocean in Panjim. A calm cruise during the day turns into a party boat at night! Dance along the waves and party all night with DJs and folk dances, adding a quintessential showdown for your Goan getaway!</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Panjim Offerings</h3>
<p></p>
<p><div class="wp-block-image"></p>
<figure class="aligncenter size-large is-resized"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="wp-image-12443" src="https://azarabeachhouse.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/2565665-1024x680.jpg" alt="church, panjim, panaji" width="604" height="401" srcset="https://azarabeachhouse.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/2565665-1024x680.jpg 1024w, https://azarabeachhouse.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/2565665-300x199.jpg 300w, https://azarabeachhouse.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/2565665-768x510.jpg 768w, https://azarabeachhouse.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/2565665-600x398.jpg 600w, https://azarabeachhouse.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/2565665.jpg 1280w" sizes="(max-width: 604px) 100vw, 604px" /></figure>
<p></div></p>
<p></p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Situated near Candolim is the Goan capital of Panjim. Highly recommended if you love ancient architecture, it is covered with Portuguese buildings in Fontainhas. Live in the past while in the present in Panjim and discover the long-lost gems of India.</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">When is the right time to visit?</h2>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Since the town is conterminous with the beaches, it often experiences a muggy climate during the summers.</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Ideally, it is advisable to visit from September to the end of February for a pleasant climate and a jovial stay. December is the time tourists make the most by going to popular festivals like Sunburn amongst the other celebrations like Christmas and New Year&#8217;s. </p>
