Go beyond Goa's golden coastline
From its hilly hinterlands to its delectable food scene, you'll marvel at what else Goa has to offer beyond its beaches. In partnership with the Goa Tourism Department, we’re launching Goa Unseen, our latest guide to help intrepid travellers explore a different side of the coastal town.

“Goa has always been a place of discovery for me, a sanctuary where creativity, nature, and community thrive. Over the years, I’ve been exploring its hidden gems - from lush forests, lesser known beaches to unique local experiences - all of which have inspired my journey. Through 'Goa Unseen,' I’m excited to share this side of Goa and invite travelers to experience its true essence. With Airbnb, I hope you’ll find your own connection to Goa’s vibrant soul.” Image credits — Tina Dehal
