The advantages of beachside resort locations

Beachside resort locations offer a variety of advantages that make them popular vacation spots for both locals and tourists – right from a sun and surf setting, to the convenience of being able to access a variety of outdoor activities. You can get the perfect combination of relaxation and beachside options - from swimming and sunbathing, to parasailing, river cruising, and other adventure sports.

With mesmerizing ocean views and gentle beach-lapping sounds of the waves, beachside resorts provide a calming effect that can help you unwind and de-stress. Add other amenities such as nature spas, massage therapies, yoga sessions, and you can look forward to rejuvenation in more ways than one.

Beachside resorts also offer home-grown versions of restaurants, bars, and gift shops. So whether it’s a romantic dinner for two or a night out on the town, beachside resorts provide a great way to soak in the local experience.

Popular tourist hubs along a beach location give you more than just a refreshing change – they give you a cultural experience. And there are several vacation properties you can choose from - popular among them are the member resorts of AIRDA. (Links featured below.)

What you can expect at some of the popular beaches of Goa

Goa has well over 25 amazing beaches ranging from the full-of-life party destinations to very serene and peaceful beach locations. North Goa has Baga, Calangute, Anjuna, and Arambol, that necklace the northern beachside with shacks buzzing with life, serving a wide range of cuisines – local, regional, and more.

South Goa is on the serene side with beaches like Colva, Palolem, and Galgibaga (famous as a nesting ground for Olive Ridley turtles) which are cut off from the world, but worth paying a visit if you are looking for some peace and quiet.
