The "Fun Capital of India": Fun Facts to Kickstart Your Goa Vacation
Goa is what dreams are truly made of—a haven of sunny beaches, tropical scenery, sun-warmed weather, endless parties, and shopping sprees. If you’re looking for accommodations to relish the flavours of this coastal heaven, luxury villas in Goa will make the perfect abode for you. Here are some ‘fun facts’ about the ‘Fun Capital of India’ that will help you get to know Goa better.
Floating Casino: Casinos and gaming parlours are one thing, but a Floating Casino calls for another level of mesmerisation. Goa is home to Asia’s largest Floating Casino. Run by Golden Globe Hotels, the three-deck Casino can be found on River Mandovi with a splendid list of luxuries—private suites, an area for private gambling, rooftop dining, performances by international stars, and various other entertainment options.
Headphone Parties: The electric party scenes of Goa beckon party animals from around the globe. You’re obviously no stranger to Goa’s one-of-a-kind trance parties and rave culture, but have you heard about Headphone Beach Parties, aka, every introvert’s dream come true? Instead of the music being blasted on speakers, each person is provided with a personal headset at the event.
Forest Cover: Most people only know Goa as the beach capital and for the vibrant parties. However, you will be surprised to know that the forests occupy about 60% of the terrain. Goa is also known to be home to about 400 species of birds. Take some time off to retreat into nature or kick back at the finest villas in Goa, strategically located in the lap of nature and a convenient distance from the beaches.
Mummy of St.Xavier: Revered as Goencho Saib or the Guardian of Goa, St. Xavier’s remains have been carefully preserved and can be found housed in the Basilica of Bom Jesus at Old Goa. The mummy is estimated to be about 500 years old and is displayed in an exposition organised once every ten years.
Dual Independence: Goa continued to be under Portuguese rule even after India gained Independence from British rule in 1947. The Portuguese continued to govern the state till 1961. On this account, Goa celebrates two Independence days—one for liberation from the British and the other for liberation from the Portuguese.
Luxury villas in Goa invite you to experience the vibrancy of Goan culture and unwind in the midst of the serene bliss of nature. Head over to the Beach Capital for some relaxing and fun time with your family and friends or even by yourself.
