    Overview Things to do Suitability Country Info (India)
    Varca is located on one of the most magnificent beaches in Goa with 27 kilometers of golden sand, just 45 minutes from the Dabolim airport and within reach of every major tourist attraction, Varca palms resort located on a sprawling 14-acre property off the splendid Varca beach, the Resorte is a lush tropical paradise that promises you a picture-perfect vacation.

    Stretches of silver sand washed by a rush of blue waters, the sky mirroring the sea below, swaying palms, churches and monuments... a lethargic getaway unharried by the passage of time. This peaceful, laid-back fishing village, set on a narrow, fairly busy road, has small shops and businesses spread along its length and a striking white church at its centre. Despite its name, the beach is 2 mls W. The village is less touristy than some of the small neighbouring villages, such as Benaulim and Cavelossim.

    This resort attracts mainly package tourists seeking rest and relaxation. The fairly flat land and wide beaches suit walkers and country cyclists. Few amenities in the village itself, so most of the action is at the hotels. More suitable for couples, as less to do for families and young children.

    There are two hotels on the beach front, each is of a high standard, with a good selection of facilities, including nightly entertainment, dining options, water sports and other sports. Some more low-key, budget accommodation can be found around the village, generally in family homes. The hotels are in the higher price bracket , and generally are booked out during the October-April high season.
