Goa has long been a favorite destination for travelers seeking sun, sand, and a laid-back coastal vibe. But if you're truly looking to escape, unwind, and explore in style, nothing beats staying in a private luxury villa. Here’s your curated 2-day itinerary to make the most of your stay — all centered around the comfort and convenience of your own private space.
Day 1: Soak in the Sun & Coastal Charm
Morning: Relaxed Arrival & Brunch
Check into your luxurious stay — perhaps a bungalow in North Goa on rent with swimming pool — and kick off your weekend in style. Imagine waking up to swaying palms and the gentle sound of the sea in the distance. After settling in, head to one of the charming cafés in Assagao or Anjuna for a hearty brunch.
Afternoon: Beach Time at Vagator & Chapora Fort
After brunch, make your way to Vagator Beach. Don’t miss the short hike up to Chapora Fort, where you’ll be rewarded with panoramic views of the Arabian Sea — a great photo op and a peaceful escape.
Evening: Sunset & Nightlife in Anjuna
Return to your villa to freshen up and maybe take a quick dip in your pool. This is the perfect time to unwind in your bungalow in Goa with swimming pool, sipping a drink under the open sky before heading out.
Once the sun sets, Anjuna comes alive. Enjoy dinner at Thalassa for Greek fare with a sea view or explore the Goan-Portuguese fusion cuisine at Gunpowder. Cap off the night with live music or DJs at Café Lilliput or the ever-popular Curlies on the beach.
Day 2: Culture, Cuisine & Coastal Vibes
Morning: Breakfast & Sightseeing
Begin your day early with a traditional Goan breakfast — think poi bread, chorizo pav, or ros omelette. Many villas provide in-house chefs or delivery from nearby restaurants, making it convenient to eat in. Its colorful Portuguese-style houses, quaint art galleries, and street murals make for a stroll through the past.
Midday: Shopping & Café Hopping in Mapusa or Anjuna
Next, make your way to the local markets. If it’s a Wednesday, the Anjuna Flea Market is a must-visit. For antiques, souvenirs, clothes, or spices, you’ll find plenty to carry back home. Alternatively, Mapusa Market offers an authentic local shopping experience.
Stop by a café like Artjuna or Mojigao for a light lunch. These garden-style spaces offer a great ambiance, fresh organic food, and often live music or workshops.
Afternoon: Last Beach Hoorah
Spend your final afternoon at Morjim or Ashwem Beach, known for their quieter, more pristine stretches of sand. These beaches are ideal for a peaceful swim or just lounging under a cabana with a book. Watch the waves roll in and take one last mental snapshot of Goa's magic.
Evening: Chill at Your Private Villa
Whether it's a candlelit dinner by the pool, a BBQ evening, or just lying back and listening to the crickets and waves, let the calm of your private space wash over you. Staying at The Arowana Villa, known for its tasteful interiors and serene location, elevates the entire experience.
A trip to Goa is always a good idea, but staying in a private bungalow in Goa on rent truly transforms your experience. You get space, privacy, comfort, and the ability to plan your itinerary at your own pace. Whether it’s a morning yoga session by the pool, lazy afternoons with your group, or quiet stargazing nights, a private villa gives you the freedom to create your version of Goan bliss.
With luxurious stays like The Arowana Villa, every element — from location to amenities — is crafted to offer a relaxing and memorable vacation.
So, pack your swimsuits, sunscreen, and a good playlist. Your 2-day North Goa escape is ready, filled with beaches, food, laughter, and the luxury of calling a stunning villa your home for the weekend.
