Goa honeymoon.

Sea-view suites, spa days and sunsets for two.

Quick answer

For a Goa honeymoon, split your stay between a boutique or heritage stay in North Goa (Assagao, Panaji or Sinquerim) and a beach resort in South Goa, with sunset cruises, spa days, candlelit beach dinners and quiet beaches like Agonda and Patnem. November–February is ideal.
