    Taj Holiday Village Candolim Beach - Fort Aguada

    A short guide to Candolim Beach - Fort Aguada

    The Candolim Beach in North Goa is a perfect alternative to the crowded beaches of Calangute or Anjuna. 15 km from Panaji, it can be very easily reached from Mapusa and Calangute. For those who prefer a serene and tranquil beach environment, this is the one of the best options. The area provides abundant opportunities for snorkeling, fishing, and diving. Being a prime tourist destination, the area has a number of hotels and guesthouses in the close vicinity of the beach. A must-see landmark at Candolim is Fort Aguada on Sinquerim beach—the best-preserved Portuguese fort in Goa.

    We stayed for 3 nights just after the monsoon season. The hotel staff were very attentive and friendly. Would recommend the bach facing cottages as they are far better than the garden facing ones.
