Agonda

We have had several emails commenting on the lack of information we have up about Agonda beach and we are working to get more accommodation information about Agonda soon. Agonda is located about 15 minutes away from Palolem in a rickshaw or taxi, it is a little less built up than Palolem and is well worth at least a day trip! Some people may prefer to stay in Agonda than Palolem, while others enjoy combining stays at both beaches...

We received a lovely email from a couple who stayed in Agonda this season. Here is what they had to say:
We are a Danish couple + 6o who stayed 5 days in Om Sai Agonda Beach Hut. It is extremely quiet and is a wonderful change from everything else if you want to rest in silence and go for long walks along a beautiful stretch of fantastic beach. Not so many dogs and not so many selling people. very, very beautiful place. For old as well as young, singles or couples. Go for it. Thank you, everybody in Om Sai Agonda Beach Huts.
Kirsten and Eric.
Look out for additions to our Agonda information soon!

How do I get from Goa airport to Palolem?


A frequent question we get asked is
How do I get from Goa International Airport to Palolem?
The easiest way to get from Goa Dabolim International Airport is to get a taxi. Otherwise you can get a public bus to Vasco, and then change for another bus to Margao and from there take a bus to Palolem.
How long is the trip and how much should one estimate paying?
Goa International Airport is a one and a half hours drive away from Palolem by taxi.
Expect to pay 1200 Rupees for a taxi from Goa airport to Palolem. The easiest thing to do is order one at the ‘Prepaid Taxi’ rank as soon as you arrive at the airport. That way you pay beforehand and will not have to deal with any bartering. If you want to bargain you go outside of the airport and find a taxi there.
