Located on the western coast of India, the land of magic, mystery and monuments, lies the tiny little laid-back state of Goa with its swaying palms, verdant fields, and mesmerizing beaches.

With barely 45 minutes flying time from Mumbai, perhaps no other state offers so much of charm combined with beauty. Its characteristic white washed chapels and churches of Portuguese architecture, quaint houses with flower decked balconies, and small pubs and cafes make it the place one would yearn to return to again and again. Being one of the smallest and youngest states in India , it is also rated as one of the best states to live in as the cost of living is low, English is widely spoken/understood, it has a peaceful social climate and the culture, genuine warmth and hospitality of its people is simply amazing. And with real estate booming in Goa, it presents a ripe time in purchasing a villa/apartment or property in Goa.

Goa is well connected by air, road and rail. National Highway 17 connects Mumbai to Goa by road and the Konkan Railway route has opened up the Mumbai-Goa corridor significantly. Domestic flights, International flights and Charter flights during the season, all provide a memorable travel to Goa.
