Goa in the Rains: The Case for a Monsoon Trip This Season

What flashes in your mind when you think of Goa? Perhaps it’s an electric New Year countdown party or a sundowner at one of the popular Goa beaches.

Yes, the state has earned its name as a go-to summer destination, but it is much more than just a summer escape. While it stays pretty and welcoming all year long, a Goa monsoon trip introduces you to the state’s true beauty that’s mostly hidden away.

Think verdant hills, misty air, and less crowded beaches, which serve as the perfect backdrop for a mesmerising break. Whether you’re planning to yap away with your squad in a lavish private villa or gorge on some local delicacies, a Goa monsoon trip isn’t just a plan—it’s a whole vibe.

Here’s why it’s time to finally take that idea out of the group chat and make it happen.

Parties and Entertainment

From summer to rain, the weather forecast in this state will never showcase a season sans the raging parties. If you thought the season would rain parade (literally) over celebrations, then here’s some good news: the party keeps going. 

The underrated Goa nightlife monsoon vibe is unparalleled and uninterrupted. While a few places pause Goa party monsoon plans, others do not go into hibernation.

From Anjuna and Assagao to Panjim, all come alive during the monsoon. Step into an old Portuguese bungalow transformed into a speakeasy or simply join a party at one of the Goa beaches; no matter where you go, entertainment will follow.

Soak in The Best of Greenery, Calmness, and Beauty

While Instagram and a Goan summer go hand in hand, so does cinematic film and Goan monsoon. The best time to visit Goa monsoon and enjoy it is during the early onset of the season at the beginning of June.

The rains lend the state an unparalleled appeal that takes your breath away. Picture this: You’re with the love of your life, driving through the breezy rice paddies of Goa.

Or even better, you and your squad are enjoying lush greenery from Maison 10, a luxury 4-BHK private villa curated by ELIVAAS in Siolim, North Goa. Add a simmering private pool, a garden, a cosy patio, the best of modern amenities, and a chef-on-call for an unforgettable experience.

With an agenda and setting like this, your Goa monsoon trip is guaranteed to hit a 10-on-10 mark.

Gorge on Some Delectable and Diverse Seafood

Did you know that the monsoon season brings with it a shift in ocean currents and fish movement, leading to a diverse variety of catches? From the famous Goan sea bass, sardines, and prawns to mackerels — there’s a plethora of options to take your pick from during this fresh seafood Goa monsoon season.

Whether you have a penchant for dishes whipped up at local restaurants or prefer enjoying a curated meal at a sophisticated restaurant, the fresh seafood Goa monsoon season is an unspoken celebration.
