India Beach Holidays

India boasts a host of premier beach destinations with golden sands, tropical palms and a warm, sunny climate.

In central India, Goa is renowned for its golden beaches and a unique blend of Indian and Portuguese influences. Lively North Goa is dotted with markets, bars and snack shacks while South Goa is backed by tropical forests teeming with monkeys as well as beautiful beaches.

Further south, Kerala’s coastal towns offer perfect beach relaxation. Nestled amongst coconut groves leading to a soft sandy beach, peaceful Marari boasts a barefoot beach experience. In northern Kerala, the unspoilt coastline around Bekal and Neeleshwar is home to off-the-beaten-track resorts, while further south, the fishing village of Kovalam has grown to become Kerala’s liveliest and most developed resort destination.

The secluded archipelago of the Andaman Islands consists of more than 500 beautiful islands scattered over the Bay of Bengal and offers a truly idyllic getaway. With pristine beaches, coral reefs and lush forests, this is a diver’s paradise.

India's beaches are best enjoyed between October and mid-May and whilst swimming in the sea is possible, many in the south are affected by large waves and strong currents.
