Questions travellers ask
Good to know
Is January a good time to visit Goa?
January is the clearest month of the year in Goa. Mornings are fresh, the sea is calm and warm at about 27 °C, and humidity is at its lowest. The Christmas and New Year crowds leave after the first week, and resort rates drop noticeably from about 6 January. It is a good month for Old Goa, the southern mansions and long beach days, and the Feast of the Three Kings is celebrated at Chandor on 6 January.
What is the weather like in Goa in January?
Panjim 20–32 °C, dry, clear. Conditions differ by altitude and coast, so check the forecast for each stop a week before you travel.
Where should we go in Goa in January?
We suggest Old Goa, Chandor, Loutolim and the Salcete mansions, Palolem, Agonda and Canacona. Book the second half of January for the same weather as Christmas week at much lower prices.
