Introduction to Ilha Grande

If you're looking for Ilha Grande in Goa, you're in for a surprise – it's not the tropical paradise you might be expecting. Instead, Grand Island, or Ilha Grande as it's known locally, is a small, rocky outpost in the Arabian Sea, just off the coast of Vasco da Gama. This tiny island, barely 2.5 kilometers in size, is a haven for water enthusiasts. Imagine diving into crystal-clear waters teeming with marine life, or snorkeling alongside dolphins in the warm, sun-kissed sea. The island's rugged landscape and strategic location make it a refuge for fishermen and a hotspot for scuba diving and swimming. It's a place where the sea meets the sky, and adventure awaits around every rocky outcrop.

Amazing Service

Our honeymoon in Jua was nothing short of magical. The romantic atmosphere, especially around the scenic plazas and gardens, made every moment special. The Raices Fountain and the Jardin del Paseo la Princesa were our favorites – the fountains, the lush plantings, and the stunning views created the perfect backdrop for our love story. It was truly unforgettable. 💕🌿
