Goa with Kids
A holiday in Goa is the material of dreams. It is one of the most coveted vacation spots for environmental tourists looking for biodiversity, 24 hour party people looking for great dance music, and anyone who’s ever felt the call of the ocean, looking for the perfect beach. Goa has all this and much more, with a rich urban life that is always moving and changing, and extraordinary architecture that is a relic of its complicated history. It’s a splendid place to be, and it also has splendid 5 star hotels. Goa has it going on, that’s for sure, and our hotels put you right in the center of things. You’ll be treated to all the superb amenities and fantastic hospitality that only a 5 star hotel can offer, at the highest standards of the industry.
You’ll find yourself having an exquisite rest in our sumptuously decorated rooms, and eating superb meals prepared by world class chefs, who know secrets of international and local cuisines. There is something in our hotels that will please our guests of all ages, and the same can be said for Goa. It’s even a good place to take kids, as long as there’s a good supply of sunscreen, and of course, extreme caution around the water. There are waterfalls where you can feed the monkeys along the way, a spice plantation where you can wash elephants, and animal and nature reserves, not to mention all the great facilities at our hotels, with swimming pools and in-room entertainment. Good sun sense is really the key here.
But you might also be lucky enough to be in town when there are cultural performances where children are the star attractions, such as Balotsav. Here, at this lively event put on by the Kala Academy, over 800 schoolchildren perform traditional dances, and show arts and crafts. It’s a wonderful way to get to know Goa, and introduce your own children to the complicated codes implied in cultural performances. Children will enjoy watching the intricate displays of movement from other cultures, and it will be interesting to see new faces in the audience. It’s certainly possible to enjoy all that Goa has to offer, and to share it with your children.
