Give it a Goa
If you fancy a sizzling break this winter, the hot tip for this year has to be Goa.
Forget winter breaks where there’s a good chance of a shower — Goa guarantees a winter warmer and a chance to explore the Indian subcontinent without the dreaded Delhi belly.
And it really does have something for everyone. If you’re after exploring and excursions — no problem. Or if you just want to relax on a different beach every day — coming right up.
The Goa shoreline is spectacular — powder-fine sandy beaches lined with palm trees and warm, clear water.
If you really want to get away from it all try Morjim or Mandrem beaches — reminiscent of the Caribbean with just a sprinkling of sun worshippers.
For more excitement head to Calangute beach, for watersports, cool bars and the locals wandering by selling wares. If you fancy more of a shopping challenge then head to one of the markets to bag a bargain.
Ingos and Mapusa are both busy, vibrant bazaars selling everything from silver jewellery to traditional handicrafts.
But my favourite was Apora, run by hippies who first came to Goa in the Seventies. It’s a magical labyrinth of stalls, eateries and entertainment held at night when it is much cooler making it a very chilled-out experience.
Goa is also a fabulous place to take children. Local kids will play football and cricket with young tourists for hours.
There are also lots of fabulous excursions. At the incredible waterfalls at Dudhsagar, children can swim in lagoons and feed the resident monkeys.
And they can have elephant rides, go tiger-spotting, and sleep in a mud hut at the wildlife sanctuaries — the stuff of real adventures. The food is a unique blend of Indian cuisine with a Portuguese influence.
Fresh fish, squid, prawns and lobster are available in all the restaurants and the fabulous fish curries are a specialty.
And a slap-up three-course meal for two will cost you under £20. For nightlife head to Baga, with its trendy beach shacks, clubs, bars, and a hectic nightlife.
Calangute also has a great selection of restaurants, bars and pubs open until the early hours.
Just watch out for the local drink Feni, made from fermented cashew. It could drive you nuts!

Baga Beach Food
Baga Beach is kilometer after kilometer of beach shack and accompanying restaurant. Though there are a few public beach spaces, but I recommend renting a set of chairs and umbrella for the whole day so you can relax.
We bargained so hard we had them down to 4 beds for 100 rupees (about 3 euro) for the whole day. Of course, they will get this money back later when you spend all day eating there from their bar.
Fiesta (opposite Club Titos) will take your breath away with its magical setting and scrumptious food at Baga Beach .
Britto's, a beach shack specializing in seafood, is a popular tourist place that serves delicious Goan cuisine which isn't too spicy for the western palate.
The spectacular garden setting of East Meets West is perfect for romantic night time dining, and there's live music nightly too.

Baga Beach Nightlife
Baga is well known for its nightlife, most of which can be found in and around Tito's Lane -- home to the infamous Club Tito and Cafe Mambo.
In the evening, the beach chairs are cleared, along with you if you’ve bought them for the day, and the real entertainment in Goa begins: the nightlife.
The lavish and classy open air Loungefly bar also features top DJs and will leave a memorable impression.
Head to hip Cocktails and Dreams to try an astonishing variety of cocktails and shooters, and be dazzled by barmen with impressive flame juggling skills.
Guys will love the Sports Cafe. For those who prefer live music, Cavala caters to an older crowd and has Rock n Roll every Saturday night.
