About South Goa
South Goa is known for its quieter, more laid-back beaches, including Palolem and Colva, offering a contrast to the livelier resorts of the north. The region’s towns also showcase historic Portuguese colonial architecture, reflecting Goa’s centuries-long colonial heritage.

Dabolim (GOI) is better suited for South Goa beaches like Palolem, Colva, and Benaulim, while Manohar International Airport (GOX) in the north serves Calangute, Baga, and Anjuna.
Because Dabolim shares its runway with the Indian Navy, flight timings can be restricted, which is why some airlines have shifted operations to the newer Manohar Airport.
